What causes us to age?

At first, that sounds like a stupid question. Aging is such an intrinsic aspect to the human condition we tend to take for granted it . . . just . . . happens.

But we live in a world of cause and effect. Aging is an effect, so what is the cause?

The common way of thinking about this is from the perspective our bodies are physical, and everything else that's physical eventually wears out or breaks down, such as our cars, our houses, and even our computers.

That's known as the "wear and tear" theory of aging.

But our bodies are different from such items because they're alive and, in optimum conditions of health, regenerate themselves if at all possible.

Cuts heal over, broken bones knit and so on.

Indeed, every day millions of our cells die in the course of performing their functions. They're simply replaced by new cells. Our bodies can even work around permanently damaged tissue, even including the brain itself.

However, at a certain point, our bodies become less able to repair and regenerate. About age 40 we stop totally repairing and processing all the protein from our dead and damaged cells. Like a declining city running out of tax revenue, services such as street repair and garbage collection get farther and farther behind.

Another quick answer people have is "gravity." And Earth's gravity field does continually pull us down. True, but it's what our bodies evolved to cope with. Without gravity, Space Lab astronauts rapidly begin to experience muscle atrophy, skeletal deterioration and other function loss. To avoid long term health problems they must exercise heavily to mimic the effects of constant gravity.

Besides, while gravity may explain some body wrinkles it doesn't explain the white -- or no -- hair of aging.

Fear of death and the desire to live (youthfully) forever have obsessed humanity since the dawn of our species.

In the last hundred to hundred-fifty years or so, the average life span of people -- especially in the developed world -- has increased dramatically. Credit for that goes principally to improved sanitation, antibiotics, improved care of infants and small children, and an increase in the food supply.

Thanks to good sanitation and clean public water, people are not exposed to as many infections. People eat more protein to keep their immune systems strong and so resist the infectious organisms they do encounter. If they do get an infection it'll most likely be cured by a drug. Babies and children especially benefit from this.

Nor should I neglect to mention the United Nations project of the 1960s-1970s which removed the smallpox virus from humanity.

So we've removed or dramatically reduced many of the causes of childhood through adulthood death.

We've living longer because more of us reach old age. Once there, however, the main causes of death are heart disease, cancer, and strokes.

The medical establishment has created heroic measures to help people with these and related problems.

But what if we could avoid them altogether?

How long would we live?

Isn't that a better question?

Not -- what causes aging -- but: how can we slow it down or stop it completely?

Of course, it's assumed we need to know the "why" of aging before we can hope to "cure" it.

Medical science has gone much farther than the general public realizes in discovering why we age.

What's even better, though many practical applications of today's discoveries are still in the future, you can today buy a supplement designed to directly address the cause of aging.

That's the purpose of this short report -- to tell you about the Nobel winning medical research that may hold the key to an extra long lifespan, and the supplement which is available right now to help you live longer.

Chapter One

Life Expectancy Vs Life Span

Nontechnical chapter summation: Life expectancy is the number of years you might live as an average of everybody else your age. Life span is the actual number of years you as one person do live.

*************

This short report uses the terms "life expectancy" and "life span" a lot, so I decided to add this short section to make clear what I mean by these terms, because a lot of people get them wrong.

"Life expectancy" is the AVERAGE number of years you are expected to live once you reach a certain age (or at birth, as is often the case). It applies not to you as an individual, but to you and everybody else your age as a group.

"Life span" is ACTUAL number of years you as an actual, individual person reaches.

Averages are Not Necessarily Representative

A lot of time you hear such statistics as how the life expectancy of a baby born in 1600 was age 30.

And lots of people therefore believe people in past times were old at 25 and dropping dead with white hair and wrinkles at 30.

That's not true at all.

That life expectancy is an average of how long lots of people lived.

Until modern times in the developed world -- and to this day in many parts of the developing world -- many people died as infants and small children.

Dehydration due to diarrhea, smallpox, starvation, and many other infectious diseases and dangers contributed to this.

The average life expectancy was low not because people were arthritic in their 20s, but because so many people died in infancy and childhood.

If you were strong or lucky enough to reach age 5, you probably grew to young adulthood. You didn't die of old age at 25, but you were still subject to periodic famines, wars, giving birth, epidemics, hunting accidents and random violence.

Not to mention infection caused by wounds. In an era where people believed taking baths was unhealthy any wound could easily become infected. And antibiotics were hundreds of years in the future, so it was easy to die from what we'd consider a trivial scratch.

If you were strong, smart or lucky enough to avoid these problems, then you could live to the Bible's "three score and ten" (70) years or even older.

An Example

Many years ago I explored the spot in Minnesota where The Mississippi River begins. Close to it is a pioneer cemetery. I was struck how, according to the markers, so many of its "residents" were either young children or older adults.

Here's a simple illustration:

Joe died shortly after birth. His lifespan was 1 month.

Mary's lifespan was 100 years.

Their combined (average) life expectancy was:

0 + 100 = 100 / 2 = 50

However, that obviously doesn't reflect the reality either person lived. Neither one died of "old age" when only 50 years old.

Your Birth Year Doesn't Predict Your Life Span

Think of yourself. You may have read when you were born your life expectancy was X years -- you and every other one of the millions of babies born that year. And that statistic was accurate based on the best knowledge of the time.

But some of those babies died in childhood. Some of them died in car accidents.

The year you were born says very little about how long you as an individual will live. That depends on your lifestyle, whether you smoke, whether you drink and how much, what and how much you eat, whether and how much you exercise, where you live and many other factors, some under your control and some not.

Modern Medical Science

Modern medical science has greatly increased life expectancy at birth by reducing the rate of infant mortality.

Public health, greater knowledge and practice of hygiene, and increased wealth have also done a lot.

Life expectancy has already increased because modern medicine has a lot more effective and sophisticated ways to keep you alive if you suffer a medical emergency such as a heart attack and stroke.

Obviously they're far from perfect, but if you have a heart attack in 2011 -- and you don't die before you reach a hospital -- you have a much better chance of surviving it than you would have had fifty years ago.

All these things have increased the average age at which people in the developed world (and to some extent the developing world as well, as people there learn modern medicine, build hospitals and clinics, teach hygienic practices to school children, and receive increased incomes to improve their diet.) die.

More Good News

The longer you live, the longer your life expectancy.

If you can read these words, you won't die as an infant.

If you're over 21, you're past all childhood causes of death.

If you're 50, you've proven you're tougher than the people who died of heart attacks in their forties, and so you're more likely to reach 80 than you were when you were born.

If you're now 80, you stand a decent chance of reaching 100.

Even More Good News

All these statistics are based on the past. For example, if you were born more than 20 to 30 years ago (and I doubt many really young people are reading this report), chances are your REAL life expectancy at birth was higher than what the life insurance companies computed at that time -- because at that time they couldn't figure in the future medical advances that have happened.

None of these numbers can predict dramatic changes in the world.

For example: a widespread thermonuclear war would obviously reduce all our life spans and life expectancies -- for those few people left alive.

Or if aliens land next week and teach us the secret to immortality then we'll all obviously live a lot longer than we think right now.

This Book is About Extending Human Potential Life Spans

However, there's no reason to believe medical science has yet increased the maximum lifespan people are capable of.

So far, medical advances have helped a lot of people live longer and better, but still very few of us reach the 120-130 years a few people have attained. This seems to be the upper limit.

However, the more modern medical research learns about our bodies and how and why we age and die, the closer we come to extending human actual life span.

That's what the rest of this book is about -- extending human life span.
