the secret of longevity is easy, eating less and less sex activity. the more sex you have and reproduce the quicker you age. and when you starve your molecules stop splicing and reproduce themself. actually this is how the extend the life of mice 6 times by genetic modification.
you may have a point I don’t have sex at all (to disgusting for my stomach) and at age 33 I look like I’m only 13 LOL
jaja yeah, me too i’m 31 and i look like 17.

@imarchello I agree! I want to see where we go and what happens. Most of all I would love to live long enough to see religions of all stripes become mythology like all the others in the past have.
Lets hope there will be medical breakthroughs in next 20 to 30 years… That’s all we can do right now…
@imarchello Have you seen the latest studies out about Vitamin D? Very Interesting!
Watch this when you can: If you did not already know just add the following to the end of the YouTube URL.
