I suppose you could follow Kurzweil's regimen of 100 pills and supplements per day ($1M/year) in his attempt to live to see the singularity when he is 100. The problem is that exactly zero of them have been shown to extend life. Even calorie restriction, which has been shown to work in most other species, will probably never be tested in humans. The problem with all of these interventions is that they take decades to test.
Life expectancy has been increasing by 0.2 years per year worldwide for the last century and is showing no signs of approaching escape velocity anytime soon. In fact, progress is slowing in developed countries. We don't know why there are epidemics of obesity, type II diabetes, skin cancer, gluten allergies, asthma, autism, and depression. Common drugs for cholesterol and high blood pressure were approved even though clinical trials demonstrate they don't extend life. It took decades to figure out that low fat diets make you fat, but then when sugar consumption decreased, obesity still rose. Progress is slowing because your odds of dying per day double every 8-9 years of age and because the cost of drug development follows Eroom's law (Moore's spelled backwards), increasing exponentially every 9 years. Your best hope for immortality is to record enough information about you to build a robot that looks and acts like you once we have the technology, and hope that anyone alive then still cares about your life. If you do have loved ones, expect them to make all the changes to your personality that they wish they could change now.
