Part 1 Staying Young - BBC Explorations

[PamelaViktoria]

Conventional medicine is always looking to add stuff into our body. Natural medicine encourages us to make lifestyle changes so we make our own HGH.

[MetlaStrapata]

I have a question- are those people really that dumb, that they actualy think they will, in some sense, never get old? :D

[Lukeclout]

guys SENs 

[MrPinaka]

the anti aging elixir is inside my COCK!

[TEARDUCTER]

@MrPinaka lol they better kill the queen off she is giving the game away :)

[msiloveshoes]

Nope, growth hormones will not work. You can't beat or cheap death. No has been able to do it and no one will. This lady is delusional because she is still aging, you can see it in her face no matter how far they pull the camera back.

[legend956]

@msiloveshoes well they did discover an aging gene they just dont know how to remove it but aging is genetic

because your body repairs it self without the aging gene your body would continue to repair itself the same as when you where young you might not look younger but you would stay looking the same age forever

[msiloveshoes]

@legend956 - well, I sure won't sit on a hot stove waiting for it to happen. Man will not be able to reverse aging or death. That task belongs to GOD!

[legend956]

@msiloveshoes ya i know it is up to god but human nature makes everyone fear death if i can live longer i will

[ShoppingQueen4ever]

Okay "war against aging" whatever happend to aging gracefully theory.....its part of life its inevitable

[GuruPePe33]

this bitch injecting herself is going to die erarlier with that shit ... most likely will develope an enlarged heart and it will eventually her organs will not be able to with stand that shit shes puttin in herself

[amelitaz]

@GuruPePe33 ''this bitch'' - true there are proven negative health issues associated with high levels of growth hormone - but why do you need to be so derogatory?... 

[codyjohn1551]

genetics and nanotechnology will give us eternal life, and l want it! >:D

[crackfiendables]

everyone dies!! dont worry though you will be reborn!! good luck escaping the cycle if you are concerned with the way that you look

[dirtynuke]

Genes...diet...environment..sl­eep...etc. Many things contribute to helping you look younger..but in the end it's pointless..you'll end up old anyways..you can't beat time. I don't understand things like botox...for some reason to me...of all cosmetic surgery like techniques it always seemed the most snobby to me. Why pay thousands for a single needle prick?

[blondecat666]

@dirtynuke I agree completely. What happened to the ancient Greek values when old meant wise and more valuable? Funny to see how 50-years-old women with Botox and surgeries think they look like 40. What they don't realise is that they don't look 40, they look like a 50-year-old, who had Botox and surgery.

[GuruPePe33]

@blondecat666 haha couldnt agree with you more

[WWPSdvia]

Gosh everyone dies eventually..you can do whatever you want, diet, pills, ..they need a reality check..

[BananaSandwich1]

these people are neurotic, you can care about your health and well being, other that that though you just need to enjoy the present moment

[HealthQuestion]

Its all about reducing cell oxidation, mind and body connection. Genetics plays the biggest role.

[straightupmenace]

I wanna live to be old but I wanna feel comfortable being old. I wouldnt wanna be 93 years old in a wheel chair on oxygen. taking 7 different prescriptions a day. Is it really worth it ?death is inevitable do all this stuff just to allow you to live 6 months longer? to some 6 months may be alot but 6 months to me is nothing i would know that my life was fun but now its gotta end.

[Pawnbroker00]

@straightupmenace Do what you have to do in life and dont piss it down the drain like the majority of people, then you will be glad and happy when you die, instead of being fat and on all kinds of shitty pills. Be healthy and you wont have to worry about being in a wheel chair on oxygen.

[neoaeonian]

Aging is reversible. It's a process. It's not just wear and tear, it's a biological process. If it was just wear and tear on cells, then mice would live as long as people. They have almost the same cells we do.

There is more research into aging going on every year than occurred in all of history before 2000. Little breakthroughs are occuring here and there. We are going to reverse it soon. We're not talking 10 extra years here, it could easily be hundreds of years of extra healthy young life.

[Pawnbroker00]

@neoaeonian Remember, if you defy nature, it will catch up with you eventually..

ie, the destruction of forests, the lack of food, the massive urbanisation of the world, these will all destroy humans eventually if aging is reversed. We dont deserve to live longer than any other creature.. a dog only gets 15 years at maximum. Do we really need such a lifespan? =.=

[neoaeonian]

@Pawnbroker00 Re: "if you defy nature..."

Defying the rules of nature, is impossible. Learning and understanding those rules more helpfully and wisely, this is why we are here.

Re: Do we really need such a life span?

If you are one of the many people who use your life to add to the beauty, joy and wisdom around you and others, then I wish you all the life that nature make possible.

If you are not one of those people, then I wish you'd become one.

[jorgeluiscuyubamba]

@neoaeonian Yes buddy, I really really agree with you, I currently study human medicine, and I am very happy to see a person like you, very intelligent, and smart, and optimistic about science and the future, thumbs up for you , yeah !

[neoaeonian]

@jorgeluiscuyubamba Re: I currently study (am happy to see a person optimistic about science and the future}

If more people knew economics, geology, history and sci-techn they'd be optimistic too.

Instead people watch shows that assume that any negative trend will continue ad infinitim, and at the same time assume that all the positive trends (lower crime, longer lifes, lower child mortality, better technologies) have reached their limit.

Our future's so bright, we gotta wear shades!

[68buickwildcat]

I don't think it's a good idea to live to 120 + yrs. Unless we have the physical to match the longevity, then it's useless.
