    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.

    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.

  • @swenic
    @swenic Рік тому +12

    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.

    • @Izakokomarixyz

      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.

    It is literally a mode your body enters where it starts to recycle old damaged cells, One of the big advantages is it reduces the risk of cancer.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    But, I wonder how the issue of simple wear and tear on the body is addressed in aging, as the years go by? Not all age-related ailments are intracellular. The interaction between different cell types/masses and extra-cellular damage that accumulates over time, isn't going to be repaired by simple reversing of aging within cells(?) Just as a physical injury has to be attended to medically, at ANY age. Microinjuries within and between tissues, accumulate over time. How would reversing the age of cells address the changes in tissues incurred by such accumulating microinjuries?

      So, I understand that because cells are younger they will be better at repairing injuries accumaled over time, but what about alterations to physical structures to tissue masses due to injury/accumulated injuries("wear and tear")?
      An example would be a PVD(posterior vitreous detachment, which I have in the left eye). PVDs are common after age 50 due to gradually shrinking a vitreous humor and leave you with additional floaters and "flashing light" sensations. You could reverse the age of the involved cells, but what would actually "reattach" the vitreous to the back of the eye(other than complex surgery)? Reversing the age of cells would perhaps normalize the vitreous to a more normal volume and hydration, but it is still going to remain unattached to the back of the eye. @s3328
