The science of super longevity | Dr. Morgan Levine

[@livephysiology]

As this video accurately describes DNA methylation as it relates to aging, it is also of relevance to point out that exercise training can affect the epigenome as well. Many of the changes induced by exercise training have been linked to an anti-aging affect on the epigenome. There is some evidence that the aging process is at least partially reversed due to the effect exercise training has on DNA.

Firstly, very few people live past 100 and that may not change anytime soon. The important thing is living healthy into advanced old age rather than just surviving in poor health for a decade or more. I’m 62 and have done resistance training since I was 18 and have kept aerobically fit through various sports since I was 5 years old. I also eat little to no processed foods, eat in moderation and maintain a healthy amount of body fat. I do drink alcohol, almost exclusively red wine, but very little hard spirits or beer. My goal is to be able to live an active and healthy life for as long as I am able.

@@rene-rv6pp which is why healthspan is FAR and I can't stress this enough, FAAAAAAAR more important than lifespan ever will be. What is the point of living long if you are frail and decrepit by the end like these centenarians living past their expiration date? I would much rather "train hard" and maintain a very physical and vigorous body and then die at like 70, which quite a bit lower than the average life expectancy where I live. People who want to live a long life for the sake of living a long life literally have no purpose and meaning to their existence. It is a miserable outlook that I would not wish on my worst enemy. And don't tell me it's because you want to "see your grandkids grow up", if you did things properly you should have been able to do that by the time you are 70-75. There is no reason to live to 100, unless you want to see your "great grandkids" which I would argue is an incredibly stupid goal itself. You want your great grandkids to remember you as a frail, ineffective little old man? Makes zero sense. I had one of my great grandmothers alive until I was about 12, and I TRULY wish she wasn't, may sound harsh but she should have died at least 2 decades before she did. Nobody should be living like she did. You go ahead and enjoy your "long lifespan", I would much rather die at 70 while still maintaining a robust and muscular physique. You may argue that I will change my mind once I get close to 70, and to that I will say there is only one way to find out.

There’s two aspects of aging to consider. One is appearance and the other is health. I am seventy years old and I am often told that I look much younger. I usually counter by saying that I may look young but I feel seventy. Regardless as to how you may look or even feel, humans rarely live to 100 years on average. This proves that we are NOT close to figuring out aging. As one man who was 108 said when asked about the secret to his longevity, “There’s no secret. I have lived this long because God wanted me to live this long.” I know that those who believe in evolution will say that can’t be the answer. Soooo wait on science 🧬 and let us see.

At 6:46...The idea of 'solving' or 'curing' death begins I think with the wrong premise, and as Dr. Levine says, it shouldn't be the goal. It suggests that death is a disease, a malady or problem that can be wrestled with and eventually overcome. Rather than a natural, inevitable stage of an organism's development. I also take some issue with the concept of reversing or slowing aging. A simpler, and more practical approach is to focus on enhancing health, life, and total being performance. Put another way, expanding this moment, every moment...rather than trying to delay the next one. Remaining young as long as possible...!

I would like to ask a few questions here based on my little to no understanding of cells and their science. 1) Dont all cells in our body get replaced every 7 years so if the focus is reverseing ageing how does it affect the possibility of new cell formation or does it just shortens their life cycle or it just simple like reminding a clock 2) Also can cells learn? If you make a cells revers itself in age most of the time, when it becomes cancerous does it like not die becuase thats like the number 1 defence against cancer isn't it. Would live to hear some more on this.

[@crukih7527]

It's somewhat of a misconception that every cell gets replaced every 7 years, although 7 is the average if you will. Skin cells get replaced roughly every 35 days, whilst red blood cells get replaced every 120 days. Muscle and nervous cells can take up to 15 years to get replaced. It used to be believed (and still is in some circles), that cells have a limited number of cell divides. This is known as the Hayflick limit. Every time a cell divides, it loses some of it's information, as described by Leonard Hayflick. In essence, your body ages because it keeps making a copy, of a copy, of a copy. Think of it like taking a polaroid picture, of a previous polaroid picture. Most of the information is kept there, but maybe there is a 1% decrease in acuity each time. That builds up over time. It was thought that this loss was through loss of the genomic information, but the recent information theory of aging states that it is because of epigenetic loss instead. David Sinclair and his team recently found that the body contained a 'backup' of sorts. Think of it as if your about to take a picture of the 50th version of that photograph, and someone walks in and states they have found the original. You can now start the process again from photograph 1. Cancer cells are a little different. Cancer cells are human cells that divide uncontrollably. Because we have trillions of cells in our body, cells need to communicate with each other to make sure they are doing what they should be doing. It's like being in a crowd, at a rally or demonstration or something. You can't see or know what's going on. if you want to figure out which way to the burger stand, you need to talk to people around you. Our cells communicate like this, sending signals to each other through paracrine signalling. Cancer cells usually have DNA mutations which make them start to divide uncontrollably. Normally when a cell starts doing this, it will commit not alive through apoptosis. These occurs through proto-oncogenes. However if the mutation affects these proto-oncogenes, they become oncogenes (hence oncologist). The cell now will not destroy itself. Other cells around it will see this happening, and start to release chemical signals via paracrine signalling to say 'yo buddy, cut that out'. But with those mutations the cell no longer responds to these signals. The cells will divide uncontrollably, and without checks and balances by our body, will grow into tumours. In theory, because epigenetic resetting restores the cell to a younger version, it would actually decrease the chance of that cell line becoming cancerous again in the future. Of course a lot of this stuff is still in it's infancy. I know Aubrey de grey fears epigenetic resetting could increase the risk of cancer. Only time, more experiments and clinical studies will tell.

It seems a bit contradictive. By curing aging, age-related diseases will vanish, however exactly those age-related diseases also increase of lifespan. Meaning that we will become older and older to the point that age-related diseases do not cause death anymore. That would mean, death would be choice, rather than a natural consequence of living. There is a chance that unless there is a severe mental condition, most people with a healthy body will not choose death. So essentially it means that eternal life is a popular route instead of planned death. In various parts of the world there is an incentive to get more children, but instead based on this development, should we not investigate new ways of looking at child birth.

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.

[@malifestro3319]

One way we already know has helped is the studies of people in the highest concentrations of centennials. It was found that while genetics may have helped, lifestyle and diet made the most impact. The diet was always plant based. That means less meat, not none. Think of meat as a condiment and you'll get the portions and frequency correct. I think of meat as red wine, not bad for you but probably dont have it every day at every meal. Lifestyle - chill the f out. Take walks. Have friendships.

And that's the "stability" issue I mentioned before. Used in the wrong way, it can really mess you up. So we're fine tuning the cocktail of Yamanaka factors to make them usable. Lemme put it this way, Yamanaka factors were discovered in 2006. They successfully used that research to reverse aging in mice in 2019. Sure, 2020 probably slowed the research down, as it slowed everything down, but we're already well on our way to be able to view aging and death as treatable, much like we view tuberculosis, when not even 100 years ago, it was how most people died.

[@leadeaus1090]

it's ok. try your best not to die soon because you have the gift of life given to you and you want to reap it as much as possible. death is terrying because when we are alive our brains cannot comprehend possibly not existing and being and feeling nothing. but truly, it won't be as scary as you think. live a good life and do good to others and when you die let all the weight of this life be taken off your shoulders. you dont have to exist within the constant balance and dynamic of good and bad anymore, u can simply exist within nothing as apart of the Universal infinite energy. thats truly a blessing

[@jamespowers8826]

Death shouldn't be terrifying at all. We actually live in the past, and after we die, there is no past. Folks oddly are often fearing missing their life, after their death. Once we die, we never existed.

[@林思遠-w9q]

There are many experts that do believe this is the answer to imminent mortality, death by age, and that it will arrive in time for us to use. In fact, some of these technologies are already here and are accessible. Please read: * Lifespan - Why we age and why we don't have to by David Sinclair * There is another book Lifeforce by Tony Robbins. While it is true that the life extension we have with current technology is currently only till 120 years old... with the rate at which the technology is progressing the next life extension will come out before we hit that 120 year mark... and the next life extension after that will come out even faster before we hit that new limit... The runaway effect of these life extensions will give every one of us the means to break free from death by age if we so choose. Eventually there will be a final extension that will grant eternal youth, providing the answer you seek, a solution to death by age. I am giving my life to get this technology out there faster. It is real, it is coming. We are already in the advent of rapidly developing AI, and as longevity experts themselves are able to keep on living longer (thus preserving the momentum of their research) the speed at which this technology develops will accelerate incredibly.

Cancer risk grows exponentially as we age: What if cancer cells are cells that think or behave like they're younger than the sorrounding cells. Or that they're just cells that skipped the cellular aging process?

[@wecouldbefree]

Answering as a chemist: cancer cells and benign malignancies are the result of cells that continue to age but that when they reach the point where theyre ratio of 'function performed' to 'efficiency of function' would demand senescence (cell death) theyre unable to comply (multiple reasons) and continue to multiply as part of that functional discongruity; TLDR - cancerous cells arent "young cells" but more like "ignorant zombie cells" Hope that offers some clarity 😊

[@ACAB.forcutie]

​@@wecouldbefree exactly, it's kinda the opposite. I'm not sure if you know this, but cancer is a concern with using Yamanaka factors, because it can cause out of control growth

[@proffezur]

The issue with cancer isn't just the continued growth, it's the fact that it consumes huge amounts of energy to do nothing BUT grow. It pretty much loses all other function until it takes you over and you ultimately die. Good thought though.

Too much time and money is spend on longevity. We should spend our time and money on health. What’s the meaning of getting old if you have poor health eating pills visiting doctors and surgeons. Stay healthy as long as you live. Four things to do 1. Sleep well, 2. exercise, 3. Eat plants, 4. have fun. Don’t do drugs and your life will be meaningful

[@Ella-c8n4u]

It makes a lot of sense for scientists to invest their wisdom and curiosity into the aging process since there is a huge market for not-looking-as-old-as-they-actually-are. Just wondering whether the slowing-down or the reversing technology is affordable for the average public...Otherwise when someone looks much younger than their age in the future, what we can tell is that this person is really rich.

[@rajnikantsinha2636]

Right now, there is a saturation point of our life expectancy. I think the best ways to live a satisfying life are the following: 1. Emphasis on self learning from the age of five. 2. Complete physics, chemistry, mathematics upto post graduation level by the age 20 yr. 3. Never get married. 4. Devote everybody on this planet his maximum time on scientific research. Time is the most precious thing in this world.

It's basically cellular apoptosis vs necrosis, either a healthy programmed cell death in multi cells organisms wherein a cell will retire after performing a set number of mytosis, or a very messy process of mutated mitochondria thus forming cancerous cells.

[@quinns3072]

I think regular exercuse, plenty of sleep, and healthy eating are some of the best ways to target overall health which will largely prolong your biological youth and physical appearance. Whenever I would hit finals week throughout college and grad school, my sleeping and eating would suffer along with not having ample time to exerise. I ended up getting covid one year and always deal with getting sick or am very low energy the following weeks. Cutting even one of those three out can hurt your immune system very quickly. People spend so much money on supplements and all these crazy diets to avoid putting in hard work either in the gym or doing whatever excersie they prefer. It doesn't work, there's no way of getting around doing actual exercise to achieve a healthy body and mind. Fortunately I also love weight lifting, and the gym is my favorite hour or two of the day, many people don't enjoy it much, but they should still devote at least half an hour a day on somesort of physical exercise that is at least a litttle challenging. Side note: The woman presenting in this video is absolutely gorgeous. I don't think she would mind if I asked how old she is either lol.
