Basically the problem of ageing is a gradual accumulation of "damage" of assorted kinds. An ideal regimen of exercise and diet and non-stressful life and so forth can reduce the rate but not to zero. Thus, even healthy people get old and die.
Actual therapies would go in and undo the damage, not stop it accumulating, but clean the existing damage down to a level where ageing symptoms would be reset back by decades. And could be repeated, leading to indefinite lifespans.
- pferde 7y agoYes, of course, I agree with you. However, the quote I was replying to had the word "longer", and not the word "forever" in it. And that's exactly what healthy lifestyle gives you - not miracles, but a definite increase in quality of life, and prolongation of the active part of it. The downvotes to my comment above amused me, there are apparently people in denial here. :)
