Anti-aging

The concept of anti-aging is not new. Since ancient times, people have been trying to find ways to delay aging or even rejuvenate. Modern medicine offers some strategies. Diet, exercise, sleep, relaxation, avoidance of harmful substances or habits, health maintenance, disease prevention, hormonal balance, early diagnosis and treatment, convalescence, and aesthetic procedures. It seems that DNA is responsible for aging. It degenerates gradually and after an X number of replications it stops functioning. Then the cell dies in a biological process called apoptosis (programmed cell death). With the current genome research, it may be possible one day to slow down the aging process by maintaining DNA health as long as possible. Turtles must have better longevity genes than dogs since turtles live much longer. Some trees can live over a millennium and they must have excellent longevity genes.
