who think that is possible to reach 200 year old ?

Question

with all the knowledge today about nutrients, antioxidants and exercises to keep your organs functional and healthy and new way to avoid damaging stress our life span will increase. today life span is only 74 and 76 and more people are reaching 105 and 110.

Answer 1

Biologically, it's not as simple as maintaining good health and reducing life's stresses. There's both a built in limiting factor, both genetically speaking and cells run out of telomere length at the ends of their chromosomes; thus, the cell simply stops dividing. Aging is even more involved than that. It's not a simple matter.



However, there are other means for extending the natural useful human life span.



1. Genetic engineering

2. Embryonic stem cells for rebuilding tissues and organs

3. Human cloning

4. Uploading / downloading consciousness

5. Engineering artificial brains and organ systems, I kid you not.

6. There's still yet other ways to approach the problem



If we really wanted to extend human life, we have the technology to accomplish it today.

Answer 2

3 techniques. the two get somewhat extra lively, devour somewhat much less, or embody your chubbiness as your boyfriend has, and see the place your weight settles. you will no longer be able to do it rapidly. all people peddling get-skinny-speedy advice has NO theory how undesirable that's to devour too little to shed pounds too speedy. you may desire to wreck your metabolism and finally end up at 3 hundred-400lbs or extra. while you're tall, 200 is advantageous. while you're nonetheless muscular, 200 is advantageous. If no longer, do an hour of workout daily or so, and decrease your nutrition somewhat. even with the undeniable fact that plenty you devour now... devour somewhat much less. while you're on 3000 energy an afternoon, in keeping with risk bypass all the way down to 2500. constantly devour a minimum of 1600, nonetheless. much less is extremely, very undesirable, particularly while you're workout recurring too. do no longer freak out. there's some distance larger women available :P

Answer 3

I agree with another poster ... it will take some gene engineering. Also, this would require enormous social, economic and institutional changes to support this.



We can barely support ourselves now, and being on the planet twice or more as long creates significant challenges to the entire planet.



More food, more jobs, more health care, more of just about everything consumed would be required.

Answer 4

* What you are referring to is Resveratrol.

You may want to look it up on Wikipedia and on YouTube for more information.

Scientists are working on a supplement that is called "The Longevity pill", and it will be available within 5-7 years from now.

But once again, for more information search YouTube and Wikipedia.

Type in "The Longevity pill" in the YouTube search engine.

Answer 5

If we look at the rate as to how much older humans are becoming, then it is not impossible. Especially with science are unlocking the secrets of aging, and they are not totally dependent on DNA.

Answer 6

I think it will take genetic engineering for humans to ever reach that age.

Answer 7

A person's lifespan should not exceed 75% of his IQ.

Answer 8

Not with today's technology no. There's no reason we couldn't eventually be immortal though. If something breaks, just fix it.
