“There are huge strides being made in aging biology” that point to ways that we can potentially slow the aging process, says Steele, 35, whose research focuses on the ways that the body ages at a cellular level.
“We have loads and loads of different ways in the lab to slow down and reverse this process.”

(1) Take care of your teeth: (actually gums more IMO) It may sound surprising, but there is a connection between your oral health and aging.
“There’s quite good evidence accumulating now that brushing your teeth can stave off heart disease and maybe even dementia,” Steele says
(2) Exercise regularly: Research has shown that people who have consistently high levels of activity have longer telomeres, which are caps at the end of chromosomes that shorten as you age. Adults with high physical activity levels (defined as 30 minutes of exercise five days a week) had telomeres that were nine years “younger” than others,
This is why drag my butt to gym 6 days/week.
(3)Get good sleep: During sleep, your brain essentially flushes out toxins, including some that are associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Systemic reviews of research on sleep and mortality have shown that getting less than seven or eight hours of sleep is associated with an increased chance of death, but sleeping more than 11 hours a night is associated with an even larger increase for death.
I can’t sleep so I’ll see you on the other side.
Another method:
Believe and declare that the Lord “Renews my youth as the eagles” (Ps. 103:5).
He in the process of doing that for me right now. At least in some ways, I feel younger at 73 than I did at 23.
Learn to part your hair with your tongue.
Ping.
Wait 19 years in heaven for me to show up, since I plan on living to age 100.
So do I.
The reason has to do with blood supply between the mouth area and the heart.
In about 98% of the heart attack cases they find the same bacteria causing problems in the mouth, in the heart tissue.
This is also why you don’t want to have root canals if you can avoid it. Bacteria from those deep bloody operations can find their way to your heart.
It’s been a significantly underestimated risk.
Weird finding: A couple of years ago, I had a telomere test done. The result was that my telomeres measured the same as a ten-year-old in length.
As I told my wife, maybe that explains my immaturity.
So, you’ll sleep when you’re dead. :)
If you are having trouble sleeping, try adding diet tonic water that contains at least some amount of quinine. It may help. It did for me.
Also, if others tell you that you snore, get checked for sleep apnea.
Socialized medicine won’t allow people to become that old the way we are quickly headed.
God gave us this amazing and magnificent brain. I think he wants us to use it and not depend on him for carrying all our burdens and solve all our problems.
I am about to burn 81 candles, and is just flabbergasted that my brain retains vivid memories from my older sister’s wedding when I was 3 years old. And thousands of other memories in technicolor during my kindergarten, high school and college years. How amazing is our brains ability to store so much. And I remember all 3 of Newton’s laws of motion and the derived formulas from them.
Stay immature as long as you can lol..
As Groucho Marx says “You’re only as old as the woman you feel.” I keep getting younger and younger girlfriends.
Great plan!
If you can’t sleep try NAD+.
LOL.
6 days a week is too much. Double your cardio time and cut it to 3-4 days. IMHO.
Touch your elbows together behind your back three times a day.
