Dr. Dan Belsky joins WIRED to answer the internet’s burning questions about longevity and epidemiology. Why do we grow old and die? Could a “cure” for aging be discovered in our lifetime? Which longevity treatment will be the first to go mainstream? Does exercise increase longevity? How about more sleep? What is the upper limit of human life expectancy? Could we possibly live forever? Answers to these questions and many others await on Longevity Support.

Why do y’all wanna live so long? LOL
Does metabolism rate relate with aging process?
Turns out this doctor is 65
Dr. Dan Belsky thank you so much for this it was very interesting 🙏 I would be eternilitly great full if you could answer my question: we can increase talymire length because i have done so with Epithalon. They say that this reduces your chances of cancer but you say this can increase it and also longer talymire lengths also doesent mean you increase your lifespan. Could you eleborate on this? Thank you in advance 🙏
he’s so unpleasant to look at… his face is so frowny it makes me feel bad
2:01 I thought there was no difference between a man and a woman ¯_(ツ)_/¯
NMN, Berberine, or Reservatrol good supplements anti aging ?
Ironically I’ve aged visibly since having 2 kids. Nearly 4 years of significantly worse sleep.. Knock on effect to exercise and diet habits. I’m clinging on to some health for sure but it’s taken a big hit
I say ironically because ppl with kids supposedly live longer
What are those drumbeats in the background? Annoying and unnecessary.
Oxygen – in the long run – is a poison. Eventually, we would all rust.
Oy, an additional 100 years of trying to decide what’s for dinner?!?!?
We will all age and die. Period.

He’s hot
Basically y’all eat well, exercise, don’t stress and accept you’re gonna die. Death is a gift. Everyone wants to be immortal but nobody actually wants to live forever. Enjoy life, you’re gonna spend a lot more time being dead.
In my humble opinion, the evolutionary purpose of aging is quite clear: planned obsolescence to avoid self-competition. If a certain species had individuals that never aged, they’d basically last forever and thus compete with younger, more fitter members of their own species. And if your species consists mostly of individuals like that, any sudden environmental change will most likely wipe out the entire species because it doesn’t have the ability to adapt via new, genetically different individuals. It’s the same reason companies don’t make products that last forever. Customers would never need to buy another one and eventually there’d be no one left to sell to, bankrupting the company. It’s not a stable system.
We are animals, some live longer than others… end of story
Take this the biggest factor to tell who live longer is height. The data is strongest in places with people with height shorter than 5.8 living longer than the average.
until I realize how I feel about it , I’m just going to say more cakes
Aging can be stopped, increased, decreased or maybe even reversed! We don’t know much about this subject because no one pumps money in to R&D. With advances in technology, we could keep you at your optimal age (21-25?) forever. (you’d be bored shitless but hey it’s possible). Cells multiplate and get rid of the waste build up / plaque but over time the cell cycle multiplication and waste disposal stops. We just need to find out what that STOP mechanism is and stop it (or even reverse it? who knows). Anything is possible, especially with the advent of nanotechnology.
