Can we slow down or even reverse aging? Could humans one day live to be 180 years old? In this video, we explore the cutting-edge science of aging — from why we age at the cellular level to the drugs and strategies that might extend our lifespan.
Learn how free radicals damage your DNA, why cells have a built-in division limit, what senescent cells are, and how manipulating cellular metabolism through drugs like metformin and rapamycin could hold the key to longevity. We also cover practical, proven strategies like calorie restriction and exercise.
📚 Topics Covered:
- Why we age: DNA damage, free radicals, and protein breakdown
- Cell division limits and stem cells
- Senescent cells: the toxic old cells harming your body
- Anabolism vs catabolism: metabolic balance
- Signalling pathways and molecular antennae
- Drugs for longevity: metformin and rapamycin
- Calorie restriction, exercise, and stress reduction
- Can we really live to 180?
