i believe you can add 10-15 years easily if you: eat right, exercise and avoid nasty chemicals. Easily. It does not take that much more time, but it can be more expensive when it comes to food and products you use. If you go into the experimental / really expensive territory I think you can add another 5, maybe 10 years. So I firmly believe, that today, you can expand your lifespan by 25 years if you do all the right things, you can afford it and of course you don't have very poor genetics.

That's good, but ultimately, it's still only 25 years. Pursuing long shot life extension tech is complementary to your effort to keep yourselves healthy.

  well. it depends. most people i’ve talked to are not afraid of being old, they’re afraid of all the health issues and poor quality of life that comes with being old. so, my question is: if you could have the life quality of a 40yo at 80, and live to 105 instead of 80, would you only consider the improvement to be only 25 years?

  There are many studies that show that healthy people live longer on average, I’m not sure it’s 10-15 years though.

    > Healthy people live longer on average It's like saying the sky is blue. Obviously extraordinary claims of +10/15 years lifespan require extraordinary evidence.

      It’s probably closer to 1 or 2 years, on average.

        here is a starting point for you: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0091743516300160 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00917... if you workout (strength + cardio), you eat properly, you minimize stress level and you sleep well 10 years is not only achievable but expected. your life quality will also be day an night in your 70s and beyond (have you ever met someone that is 80 and moves like they’re 50? i have)
