You can live up to 120 years old and still be healthy

Our life span according to Dr. Deepak Chopra in his book "Ageless Body,Timeless Mind" can approximately live up to 120 years! You die not because of sickness but because of depletion of energy in your body!

Sounds great and interesting! How many of you know that most people die of sickness and not of natural death such as old age?

dota gud. hehe. pero posible pa gyud kaha na sa? mura kutob nman lng gani ta 70-80 ron. hehe

Yes that is POSSIBLE! Our bodies are magnificently designed and created that would last for so long!
If you look at Japan and China, many of their people lived up to 100 years and above and still very healthy. The secret? Cultivation of energy through exercise and meditation. Also, fruits and vegetables are number one in their diet. Above all, too much mental and physical stress are avoided.

sakto jud sir..hehe
meditation = stress free = long life....
pero lisod nani ron..
w/ much pollution and temptation.

i don't think that is possible in today's environment and the kind of lifestyle that we have.

[edmac]

then you chose to die young.

[Sol_Itaire]

Possible...but my main challenge would be grief. I will have outlived all of you by then.

[necrotic freak]

sulagma ra kaayo naay mo abot ug 60yrs old karon nga generation.

New Clues on What Causes Aging

New Clues on What Causes Aging
Genetics and DNA Damage Play Role, Researchers Say
By Miranda Hitti
WebMD Health NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDDec. 20, 2006 -- Ever wondered what causes aging? The answer may lie in DNA.

DNA damage contributes to aging -- especially in people whose genes aren't good at repairing damage, researchers report in Nature.

"Damage, including DNA damage, drives the functional decline we all experience as we age," says researcher Laura Niedernhofer, MD, PhD, in a news release.

"But how we respond to that damage is determined genetically," continues Niedernhofer, an assistant professor of molecular genetics and biochemistry at the University of Pittsburgh.

DNA can be damaged by normal wear and tear, as well as from smoking, too much sunlight, or other factors.

"The bottom line is that avoiding or reducing DNA damage caused by sources such as sunlight and cigarette smoke, as well as by our own metabolism, also could delay aging," Niedernhofer says.

Boy Is Clue to What Causes Aging
One of Niederhofer's colleagues on the study was Jan Hoeijmakers, PhD, of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands.

Hoeijmakers had heard from doctors in Germany about a 15-year-old Afghan boy with an extreme form of premature aging, a condition called progeria.

The boy was extremely sensitive to sunlight and had had an old, wizened appearance since age 10.

He was gaunt, had hearing loss and vision problems, and had had hepatitisA and tuberculosis as a young child.

The boy died when he was 16 after getting severe pneumonia and having organ failure. Genetic tests showed the boy had a severe mutation in his XPF gene, a gene involved in DNA repair.

Lab Tests
Based on those findings, Niedernhofer and colleagues studied a mouse model of the aging condition. They manipulated mice genetically to mimic the rapid aging effect of the XPF mutation seen in the boy.

This doesn't mean the XPF gene is the only gene involved in progeria or in normal aging.

"However, it shows how important it is to repair damage that is constantly inflicted on our genes," Hoeijmakers says in the news release.

"It is fast becoming clear that unraveling the complex biology of aging so as to understand the true relationship between cause and effect will not be easy," writes editorialist Tom Kirkwood, PhD.

Kirkwood works in England at Newcastle University's Institute for Ageing and Health.

The XPF gene finding doesn't settle all the questions about aging, but it "represents a helpful buoy in these waters," Kirkwood writes.
