Just yesterday, the world was buzzed with a news about how the world’s first anti-aging drug could work, making anyone who regularly drinks it live beyond 100 years old. It will work by making you biologically healthy, about 20 years younger than your real age. Sounds like a real science fiction, right?
Now another group of researchers from ETH Zurich, an engineering, science, technology, mathematics and management university in Switzerland, promotes genes longer, healthier life. Read more in this report on Science Daily:
Genes for a longer, healthier life found
Driven by the quest for eternal youth, humankind has spent centuries obsessed with the question of how it is exactly that we age. With advancements in molecular genetic methods in recent decades, the search for the genes involved in the aging process has greatly accelerated. Read more…
As said in a statement, “the point is not for people to grow even older, but rather to stay healthy for longer.” Okay, so promoting genes longer, healthier life is indeed possible. I guess it’s not that much of a science fiction after all.

There are so many ways – even a cup of Joe or spicy foods can add years to your life!
