Having a positive mindset is important but it's not enough. If you don't eat a balanced diet, don't exercise, don't sleep well and if you're smoking and drinking, no matter how happy you are, you will not live long.
One of the missing pieces of this discussion is that so many of the "age related diseases" are actually LIFESTYLE related diseases. The lifestyle one has lived for decades simply catches up with one the longer they've been around. Research already shows that lifestyle (physical activity, diet, social connections, smoking, etc) has a huge impact on morbidity and mortality on a population level.
The reason that it “catches” up with us though is typically because our body’s defenses have degraded to the point where they can’t fight certain issues off.
You are correct that lifestyle choices can lower your life span, but, regardless, your body will still degrade and pass. That is the puzzle that scientists are working on at the moment
I retired at 48, and for 10 years I work out, swim every day, eat right, sleep enough, avoiding all financial and family stresses. It simply does not work, I age every year, and I notice it. I am not afraid of aging and dying, I just monitor myself for fun because I do not need to work. Probably to prevent aging one has to use a lot of medications.
Are you working your brain or just your body? Do you have a strong social network? Stopping work can be bad for your health. I semi retired 5 years ago and haven't felt like I'm ageing. I cycle regularly and keep my brain very active
The research that the scientifics are doing is very interesting. I didn’t know about this, but I’m very surprised at the posibility of slowing down or even stopping the aging proccess.

You can clear senescent cells by fasting for 2 to 3 days one or twice a year. It's called autophagy or self eating. Prolonged fasting has many longevity benefits, including improving brain function.
Daily walking is essential. Walking moves lymph (containing nutrition) from the gut to the lymph nodes. If nutrition stays in the gut it is consumed by parasitic bacteria in the microbiome.
Sure, but cancer, dementia or a heart attack is still going to get you before you are 100. Also, you will be weak and frail. What we need are radical new treatments: Gene therapy, stem cell therapy, epigenetics etc...

Biological ageing is the accumulation of cellular damage. Cellular repair is down-regulated when we are in "Fight-or-Flight" and this is triggered by stress hormones and elevated insulin levels. Restoring hormonal balance by managing our stress and dietary habits allows our bodies to repair and rejuvenate. Mindfulness and breathing habits, intermittent fasting like 16-8 or even OMAD, and low carb or keto are key for a natural solution.
If accumulation of cellular damage is the main reason then why is Andy milonakis still looking quite young for being almost 50? You would expect him to show obvious signs of skin damage from almost 50 years of being alive. Anyway I think the information theory of aging makes more sense.
I don't know who that is. In order to look younger than your peers one can do a few things including regular exercise. If your'e interested in the biological age you should at the Horvath's clock or similar biological indicators of age. What is the "information theory of aging" that you mention?

The only sad thing about death is the people you leave behind. But with time, they will also be fine. There's no reason to fear it, it will come. All you can do is use your time the best possible way until the inevitable knocks at your door
@@bulkierwriter2772 exactly, I don't want to live forever. Instead I would like to live without the fear of death. However, it is codify within our genes after millions of years of evolution, and it has to be that way because if living things don't have the "natural urge to stay alive " then life as we know it wouldn't be posible. I understand why people would like to live a few years more, specially if we can stay younger for longer. But living forever would not solve any problem. I even think death help us give meaning to our lives, make us appreciate it more.
you seem to be having a focus on this at a level that is both very distressing for you, and beyond what most people experience. you may need anti-anxiety medication or other medical treatment here.
Fascinating discussion! The idea that aging could potentially be slowed or even reversed opens up incredible possibilities for the future of human health and longevity. While I’m excited about the advancements in genetic research and regenerative medicine, I wonder about the ethical and societal implications. How would we address overpopulation, resource management, and quality of life if people lived significantly longer? It’s amazing to think about the progress we’ve made, but it’s also important to consider the broader impacts as we move forward.
Eat less, eat only within a small window of time(8 hour window) be skinny, sleep well, stay hydrated. What can science add to it. Not much just prove my examples.
Proper breathing can be extremely effective for both physical and mental health. On a physical level this will result in richer oxygenation of the blood which will result in many health benefits and perhaps even a longer life. But the true power of the breath comes into play when it is used to achieve a calmer and more centered being. You become better equipped to deal with life's difficulties and stressful situations. It can also be helpful in times of extreme grief and bereavement. The book “the full breath” of James Francis explains all this and also explains in simple terms the concept of spiritual development and enlightenment. One of the things that can ruin our health and our lives more than anything else is stress and mental distress. If you know someone who is suffering in life or is in great difficulty, this book could help them fight their way out and become happy and balanced again.
I’m currently in the process of writing a story about some man who was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit… for over 40 years… since he was 18 years old. The bitter old man rejected all forms of help and support, be it massive sums of money or emotional support. He was hellbent on never accepting getting old in prison and defying the odds of time itself to regain a youthful body and exuberance at all costs… to the point that nothing else this world has to offer would’ve changed his mind; not even a promise of unlimited power over the world.
I 19 and I don’t want to live forever just want to live a long life that’s it. My great grandma died at age 104. I would likely like to live slightly more than that. And ofc look young. I don’t really want to he told and frail and always want to look 19😂
I mean, if you could be "young". Living and working as a 30 years old at your age of 100. I don't think that anyone would mind it. + it's not a rule to fall behind with technology and new stuff in life. For example my grandpa was really young minded. Played video games and was always curious about the future and new stuff. Let's be as open as possible, not just for new stuff but for everything. People, life, let's be as friendly as possible with each other :) hopefully we will live this reverse aging technology.
Hold on for now, if you're older. Do everything you can to extend your lifespan, but even more so, the span of your health: the window is almost here. Research new supplements (GlyNAC, for instance) and established ones (magnesium, creatine, and omega 3), as well as engage in healthy lifestyle choices (eating right and exercising). Stay with us until we solve the riddle entirely.
Thank you, it was really calming to read this :) I'll focus on keeping my self healthy as long as possible. I'm looking forward about the near future. Hopefully we will live this day, when aging will be reversable. I would love to live more, experience more and even learn and study new subjects. After being a 2D animator and graphic designer for a few years I've been wondering all the time what would it be like to work as a scientist. If I could have more time to do both of my interests in my life. I would like to entertain and to even help people. It would be amazing if this reverse aging thing is real. I hope it is. Until then, stay healthy my friends. Keep yourself safe and I hope you're happy in most of your days :)
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
The vast majority of aging can be greatly slowed down by improving our DNA repair enzymes and ensuring our telomeres maintain a decent length. However, certain cells cannot replicate or regrow once you get old (nerves/muscles) thus we'd need stem cells to do that. However, there are also non-enzymatic chemical reaction byproducts that form within your cells that are irreversible - these will always cause us to "age". Most of these improvements would require fully genetically engineered humans to actually function/work, which is quite far off at the moment.
Actually, with partial reprogramming you can rejuvenate neurons to a youthful state, the problem is that the capacity of the brain is limited, even if we can maintan a youthful state forever this will reach a informational limit sooner or later, that is why synthetic biology is so important and this field is also growing very fast
@@blink182bfsftw Yep that’s what I’ve been telling people, along with their AI robots, and congress would stay the same and wealth would further consolidate into fewer hands.
8-12 years for partial cell reprogramming resulting in a net longevity escape velocity for the relatively healthy. 20 years for *full* rejuvination. Both may happen sooner depending on how well AI accelerates biotech and how easy reversing aging turns out to be. It will probably take 30-40 years from now to also structurally reverse aging so that you *look* 20, because otherwise you will be carrying around some misshaped skin and bone. If full sci-fi nanotech is needed for restructuring, this might actually take 50 years. In any of those cases, a bright future awaits most people who can live healthily for the next 20 years into the new age. Personally, I look forward to having a biology which I simply never got to enjoy in my youth as I was constantly having a headache or the flu, as well as full of stress and dissatisfaction. When genetics are no longer a limiting factor, we can finally be equal and free.
The discussion about cellular rejuvenation and the role of genetic interventions offers a glimpse into the exciting possibilities. This video not only educates viewers on the science behind aging but also sparks contemplation about the ethical implications and societal impact of potentially extending human lifespans.
The concept of slowing down the aging process through scientific techniques like fasting, epigenetic reprogramming, and parabiosis sparks intriguing possibilities. The mention of these methods raises questions about the potential for realizing a "Peter Pan" dream of staying perpetually young. The intersection of science and aging opens up exciting avenues for exploration and raises hope for innovative approaches to enhance longevity and well-being.
Exploring scientific methods like fasting, epigenetic reprogramming, and parabiosis for anti-aging raises interesting possibilities. However, some caution that pursuing rejuvenation and very long life for humans could threaten civilization. Those in power may actively work to limit average lifespans to preserve societal stability. Additionally, accessing longevity secrets may come at a significant cost, adding complexity to the ethical and practical considerations of extending human life.
altering the gut microbiome alters the kind of Nutrional absorption and the efficacy of that absorption which can be negatively impacted by medically or dietary introduced antibiotics. Keeping old people alive longer will tax the current retirement system or will prevent upward economic mobility of young workers in the current centralized big money economic system.
You're completely missing the point. The goal isn't to simply keep them alive longer. It's to keep them alive AND healthy, which means they can remain productive and retire later. It also means they're using way less healthcare resources thereby further reducing the burden on tax payers. This is a compete no brainer.
@@truth8422 well, purely from the perspective of retirement funds and economic growth, depending on how the life extending technology manages to help also remain productive, it might be a huge boost. I wouldn't be so fast on that though, considering the video completely skipped the psychological point of view. which is hugely impacting on actual productivity. Healthy and energetic, okay, but is that all a human is? How about adapting to new technologies, lifestyles, and generally just being tired of your job (people live longer and healthier already, still what happened when in France they tried to push retirement ahead?), how about mental agility (the older you are, the harder to learn, is this aslo going to be improved)? and even if people end up working, let's say until their 90s, I would really not undervalue the impact that all would have on economic mobility. if the technology plays out well and old people remain to use their lifelong expertize to add value to the economy, that might actually risk increasing the viscosity, if not straight away crystallising (depending on effectiveness) the present economic and power structures
A whole food Plant based diet will positively impact epigenetic expression to aid in longevity as well as work in a number of other anti aging pathways
At present we have the ability to slow aging through diet, exercise, supplements, and a few interventions such as parabiosis. We may one day be able to stop aging, or slow it to the point where it's close to stopping. We can reverse some of the effects and symptoms of aging, but I would be surprised if we can actually reverse aging altogether (e.g., a 60-year-old becoming 20 again). Removing all the accumulated damage to our cells or replacing damaged cells with new ones would be extremely difficult. You could do it locally, perhaps, but in the entire body? Unlikely. We should be able to reach the point where we can replace aged and damaged organs with new ones, though. It's conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, we will see people living to 150.
To slow aging is not about getting less wrinkles, it's about your body being able to maintain its power to self repair. So you should not have to replace cells yourself, your body should deal with most of the additional damage. I doubt it will help against cancer though
I hope stopping, and reverse aging will be scientifically possible one day. I hope they find a cure for hair loss also. And cancer. However, I have one advice to give you who fear aging. Watch scary movies. I'm not making this up, I know a lot of horror movie lovers of 30+ Most of them look like 18-20 at most. It could be worth a try!
Too much time and money is spend on longevity. We should spend our time and money on health. What’s the meaning of getting old if you have poor health eating pills visiting doctors and surgeons. Stay healthy as long as you live. Four things to do 1. Sleep well, 2 exercise, 3. Eat plants, have fun. Don’t do drugs and your life will be meaningful.
this is true life dosen't make sense when you study long After you struggle with money and when you 40yrs old you are free ,you are considered as an old .In modern standards it dosen't make sense
I'm 74, i am not old. I have been taking an interest in all of this talk and presently conclude that some of the younger chaps have smelled money. Snake Oil salesman.
It’s like said Aldous Huxley in Brave New World: “We will be forever young despite of our age”. People will die kinda with their young appearence or something like that.
I doubt that fast food like McDonalds is on the list of recommendations. And no mention of going VEGAN? The best way to improve health is to GO VEGAN permanently. The Trillion dollar animal agriculture industry does not want anyone to believe that because they know VEGANISM is the end of their horrible, destructive business.
The fear is that with the growing expectations of AI, the need for human productivity will decrease significantly; there will be no work and a need for Universal basic income. Increasing the life spans of humans will need to be balanced against the requirements of society.
Still fail to see the point to try stopping or reversing aging (treating deseases is a different thing). Dying gives life a sense of urgency and worth. On the other hand, we are in the midst of the greatest generational wealth transfer in history: from the young to the old. Can you imagine if the old (and most likely the well off old) lived to 150 or 200? This can only be possible with a deep restructuring of society, that specially the old are unwilling to go through. Btw, I'm not young.
The research into slowing down or even halting the aging process is indeed a fascinating and rapidly evolving field! Thanks for a great video.
It is entirely possible to happen by 2050. if things get better and go according to plan we could be living in Disney land by 2050.

There's no reason to fear it, it will come. All you can do is use your time the best possible way until the inevitable knocks at your door
@@bulkierwriter2772 exactly, I don't want to live forever. Instead I would like to live without the fear of death. However, it is codify within our genes after millions of years of evolution, and it has to be that way because if living things don't have the "natural urge to stay alive " then life as we know it wouldn't be posible. I understand why people would like to live a few years more, specially if we can stay younger for longer. But living forever would not solve any problem. I even think death help us give meaning to our lives, make us appreciate it more.
you seem to be having a focus on this at a level that is both very distressing for you, and beyond what most people experience. you may need anti-anxiety medication or other medical treatment here.
probably yes, but I'm unemployed so I can't afford it though :V@@perfectallycromulent
Fascinating discussion! The idea that aging could potentially be slowed or even reversed opens up incredible possibilities for the future of human health and longevity. While I’m excited about the advancements in genetic research and regenerative medicine, I wonder about the ethical and societal implications. How would we address overpopulation, resource management, and quality of life if people lived significantly longer? It’s amazing to think about the progress we’ve made, but it’s also important to consider the broader impacts as we move forward.
Eat less, eat only within a small window of time(8 hour window) be skinny, sleep well, stay hydrated. What can science add to it. Not much just prove my examples.
👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 Our bodies are homeostatic and expect regularity in diet, exercise and sleep... in moderation. Excess breaks the homeostasis.
A whole food plant based diet, exercise, sleep and have a life with purpose.
Thank you, The Economist, for riveting professional news!
Proper breathing can be extremely effective for both physical and mental health. On a physical level this will result in richer oxygenation of the blood which will result in many health benefits and perhaps even a longer life. But the true power of the breath comes into play when it is used to achieve a calmer and more centered being. You become better equipped to deal with life's difficulties and stressful situations. It can also be helpful in times of extreme grief and bereavement. The book “the full breath” of James Francis explains all this and also explains in simple terms the concept of spiritual development and enlightenment. One of the things that can ruin our health and our lives more than anything else is stress and mental distress. If you know someone who is suffering in life or is in great difficulty, this book could help them fight their way out and become happy and balanced again.
Definitely worth my time to watch❤😊❤
I am very happy at the overton window shift that is occuring in the anti-aging space.
Excellent treatise on longevity.
Live longer? I can’t afford that 😂
And I already had enough at 31.
The people at the very top made you feel this way, they'll be very happy their plan is working
Loved Keynes quotation.
Thank-you for covering this very important topic. Well done.
There's still one important purpose of mechanism of aging - novelties in culture,ideas,and systems(political or ideological)
I’m currently in the process of writing a story about some man who was imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit… for over 40 years… since he was 18 years old. The bitter old man rejected all forms of help and support, be it massive sums of money or emotional support. He was hellbent on never accepting getting old in prison and defying the odds of time itself to regain a youthful body and exuberance at all costs… to the point that nothing else this world has to offer would’ve changed his mind; not even a promise of unlimited power over the world.
Plot twist: the jail was standing over an Ancient cave where there existed....."the fountain of youth" 😜
very well done and interesting video!
The desire to live forever will live forever
I 19 and I don’t want to live forever just want to live a long life that’s it. My great grandma died at age 104. I would likely like to live slightly more than that. And ofc look young. I don’t really want to he told and frail and always want to look 19😂
Wow, imagine how bad age discrimination will be when you turn 100 years old and still show up to the office…
ok boomer LOL
AI will replace so many people in the next decade.
I’d prefer to live doing what I love.
At that age, you would have already accumulated enough wealth to be self employed
I mean, if you could be "young". Living and working as a 30 years old at your age of 100. I don't think that anyone would mind it.
+ it's not a rule to fall behind with technology and new stuff in life. For example my grandpa was really young minded. Played video games and was always curious about the future and new stuff. Let's be as open as possible, not just for new stuff but for everything. People, life, let's be as friendly as possible with each other :) hopefully we will live this reverse aging technology.
It is incredible that scientists say that within 50 years we will have the possibility of having a treatment to rejuvenate.
to long for me to do what i need to do has to happen sooner than later
Hold on for now, if you're older. Do everything you can to extend your lifespan, but even more so, the span of your health: the window is almost here. Research new supplements (GlyNAC, for instance) and established ones (magnesium, creatine, and omega 3), as well as engage in healthy lifestyle choices (eating right and exercising). Stay with us until we solve the riddle entirely.
Thank you, it was really calming to read this :) I'll focus on keeping my self healthy as long as possible.
I'm looking forward about the near future. Hopefully we will live this day, when aging will be reversable. I would love to live more, experience more and even learn and study new subjects. After being a 2D animator and graphic designer for a few years I've been wondering all the time what would it be like to work as a scientist. If I could have more time to do both of my interests in my life. I would like to entertain and to even help people. It would be amazing if this reverse aging thing is real. I hope it is.
Until then, stay healthy my friends. Keep yourself safe and I hope you're happy in most of your days :)
Amazing report, love it ❤
Thanks for all your great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, they provide a lot of knowledge and are very helpful on a daily basis in choosing food when shopping, etc. Thank you ❤✨
If they find a way to slow aging by the time I'm old but not how to reverse it, I'm gonna be SO MAD.
The vast majority of aging can be greatly slowed down by improving our DNA repair enzymes and ensuring our telomeres maintain a decent length. However, certain cells cannot replicate or regrow once you get old (nerves/muscles) thus we'd need stem cells to do that. However, there are also non-enzymatic chemical reaction byproducts that form within your cells that are irreversible - these will always cause us to "age".
Most of these improvements would require fully genetically engineered humans to actually function/work, which is quite far off at the moment.
Hopefully it’s never a possibility.
@@bulkierwriter2772honestly yeah can you imagine tyrants living forever? Terrible for the world
Actually, with partial reprogramming you can rejuvenate neurons to a youthful state, the problem is that the capacity of the brain is limited, even if we can maintan a youthful state forever this will reach a informational limit sooner or later, that is why synthetic biology is so important and this field is also growing very fast
@@blink182bfsftw Yep that’s what I’ve been telling people, along with their AI robots, and congress would stay the same and wealth would further consolidate into fewer hands.
@@blink182bfsftw how about the other way around? smart, kind hearted people now can live longer to contribute to society ?
Yes
The lady at the end reminds me of that old joke: Who would ever want to live to be 109? A 108 year old.
Even from this video : "Unfortunately, not".
8-12 years for partial cell reprogramming resulting in a net longevity escape velocity for the relatively healthy. 20 years for *full* rejuvination. Both may happen sooner depending on how well AI accelerates biotech and how easy reversing aging turns out to be.
It will probably take 30-40 years from now to also structurally reverse aging so that you *look* 20, because otherwise you will be carrying around some misshaped skin and bone. If full sci-fi nanotech is needed for restructuring, this might actually take 50 years.
In any of those cases, a bright future awaits most people who can live healthily for the next 20 years into the new age.
Personally, I look forward to having a biology which I simply never got to enjoy in my youth as I was constantly having a headache or the flu, as well as full of stress and dissatisfaction. When genetics are no longer a limiting factor, we can finally be equal and free.
The discussion about cellular rejuvenation and the role of genetic interventions offers a glimpse into the exciting possibilities. This video not only educates viewers on the science behind aging but also sparks contemplation about the ethical implications and societal impact of potentially extending human lifespans.
VERY INTERESTING! This shows keeps me here and not on my books all the time. Please make more interesting shows about life and the future ahead of us.
Let's do this!
I'm 40 and I volunteer my body for this ageing process.
The concept of slowing down the aging process through scientific techniques like fasting, epigenetic reprogramming, and parabiosis sparks intriguing possibilities. The mention of these methods raises questions about the potential for realizing a "Peter Pan" dream of staying perpetually young. The intersection of science and aging opens up exciting avenues for exploration and raises hope for innovative approaches to enhance longevity and well-being.
Yes, we can slow down ageing! I already feel age reversal!
Exploring scientific methods like fasting, epigenetic reprogramming, and parabiosis for anti-aging raises interesting possibilities. However, some caution that pursuing rejuvenation and very long life for humans could threaten civilization. Those in power may actively work to limit average lifespans to preserve societal stability. Additionally, accessing longevity secrets may come at a significant cost, adding complexity to the ethical and practical considerations of extending human life.
It has been researched. It wont make such a negative impact.
Its unwise for and economist to say impossible. Consider it fundamental to their job to make it possible.
Thank you very much for the documentary
altering the gut microbiome alters the kind of Nutrional absorption and the efficacy of that absorption which can be negatively impacted by medically or dietary introduced antibiotics. Keeping old people alive longer will tax the current retirement system or will prevent upward economic mobility of young workers in the current centralized big money economic system.
You're completely missing the point. The goal isn't to simply keep them alive longer. It's to keep them alive AND healthy, which means they can remain productive and retire later. It also means they're using way less healthcare resources thereby further reducing the burden on tax payers. This is a compete no brainer.
@@truth8422 well, purely from the perspective of retirement funds and economic growth, depending on how the life extending technology manages to help also remain productive, it might be a huge boost. I wouldn't be so fast on that though, considering the video completely skipped the psychological point of view. which is hugely impacting on actual productivity. Healthy and energetic, okay, but is that all a human is? How about adapting to new technologies, lifestyles, and generally just being tired of your job (people live longer and healthier already, still what happened when in France they tried to push retirement ahead?), how about mental agility (the older you are, the harder to learn, is this aslo going to be improved)? and even if people end up working, let's say until their 90s, I would really not undervalue the impact that all would have on economic mobility. if the technology plays out well and old people remain to use their lifelong expertize to add value to the economy, that might actually risk increasing the viscosity, if not straight away crystallising (depending on effectiveness) the present economic and power structures
Fascinating video.
Amazing 🙌🏽
A man was asked by a reporter the secret of his old age
after much thought he replied "I guess it must be on account of being born a long time ago"

Outstanding article/video
You will age, mortal!
Not a single mention of Telomere treatment. Wow!!!
Optimistically facing the challenge of fund loss and the pursuit of recovery.
I cannot bypass my community for this one here, im afraid. The town is complicated next door and it complaints. Thanks anyway,
At present we have the ability to slow aging through diet, exercise, supplements, and a few interventions such as parabiosis.
We may one day be able to stop aging, or slow it to the point where it's close to stopping.
We can reverse some of the effects and symptoms of aging, but I would be surprised if we can actually reverse aging altogether (e.g., a 60-year-old becoming 20 again). Removing all the accumulated damage to our cells or replacing damaged cells with new ones would be extremely difficult. You could do it locally, perhaps, but in the entire body? Unlikely. We should be able to reach the point where we can replace aged and damaged organs with new ones, though.
It's conceivable that in the not-too-distant future, we will see people living to 150.
Thanks, yes!
Scary really. What age is old? And who can afford it? (To live a healthy lifestyle for that many years)
Glad I’ll be long gone by then. 🙂
To slow aging is not about getting less wrinkles, it's about your body being able to maintain its power to self repair. So you should not have to replace cells yourself, your body should deal with most of the additional damage. I doubt it will help against cancer though
Viruses may be the way to access the whole body.
@@weppwebb2885- I have high hopes for AOH1996.
Why don't they make a cocktail med that includes all the other meds that help fighting aging? one pill for everything.
I would love to know more about that 98 year old woman. What is her diet? What is her daily routine?
A better question would be: should it be?
would you be able to question that if u were dead?
Yes it should
I hope stopping, and reverse aging will be scientifically possible one day.
I hope they find a cure for hair loss also. And cancer.
However, I have one advice to give you who fear aging.
Watch scary movies.
I'm not making this up, I know a lot of horror movie lovers of 30+
Most of them look like 18-20 at most.
It could be worth a try!
You're right bro, I also watch scary movies, and I look like 7-8 years younger than my actual age. I also asked some people and they confirmed it😅

Too much time and money is spend on longevity. We should spend our time and money on health. What’s the meaning of getting old if you have poor health eating pills visiting doctors and surgeons. Stay healthy as long as you live. Four things to do 1. Sleep well, 2 exercise, 3. Eat plants, have fun. Don’t do drugs and your life will be meaningful.
this is true life dosen't make sense when you study long After you struggle with money and when you 40yrs old you are free ,you are considered as an old .In modern standards it dosen't make sense
Bryan Johnson is awesome
What a wonderful video, thank you!
Nice channal thx utube team 😊😊4m Pakistan 🎉
I'm 74, i am not old. I have been taking an interest in all of this talk and presently conclude that some of the younger chaps have smelled money. Snake Oil salesman.
Would you say that Dr. Sinclair is one of them?
Absolutely
It’s like said Aldous Huxley in Brave New World: “We will be forever young despite of our age”. People will die kinda with their young appearence or something like that.
"changing genes in humans is not reversible"? She says with great authority. Ever heard of CRISPR?
Excellent 👌
I doubt that fast food like McDonalds is on the list of recommendations.
And no mention of going VEGAN? The best way to improve health is to GO VEGAN permanently. The Trillion dollar animal agriculture industry does not want anyone to believe that because they know VEGANISM is the end of their horrible, destructive business.
yall spelt aging wrong and its kinda embarrassing ngl.
Upto 65 or 70 but multilevel marketing firms are very experienced with age pyramids within cities
Our former Prime Minister, Dr Mahathir was still competed in national election last year at the age of 97 years old. 🇲🇾
The fear is that with the growing expectations of AI, the need for human productivity will decrease significantly; there will be no work and a need for Universal basic income. Increasing the life spans of humans will need to be balanced against the requirements of society.
Nicotinamide riboside + pterostilbene to juice epigenetic remodeling and DNA repair. Its the sirtuins ... at least partially.
The number of years doesnt matter as long as dying process is pain-free. Three guarantees with Life...birth, aging, death.

The longest-lived populations on Earth (Blue Zones) had diets that were all 95-100% plant-based.
Heck yeah! Jellyfish can do it, why can't we?
Still fail to see the point to try stopping or reversing aging (treating deseases is a different thing). Dying gives life a sense of urgency and worth. On the other hand, we are in the midst of the greatest generational wealth transfer in history: from the young to the old. Can you imagine if the old (and most likely the well off old) lived to 150 or 200? This can only be possible with a deep restructuring of society, that specially the old are unwilling to go through. Btw, I'm not young.
The causes of aging are still poorly understood.
