Since the dawn of human history, aging has been inevitable. That is changing: longevity medicine has entered the mainstream. We have long known that healthy lifestyles can minimise the impact of chronic diseases of aging, and extend your “healthspan” – the period in which you enjoy a healthy life. More recently, longevity research has shown that aging is malleable, and hundreds of therapies have been identified that extend the “lifespan” of animals as well as their healthspan.
Human clinical studies are now under way, and early results strongly suggest that the lifespan of humans can be extended too.
