Our average life span right now, think e's about 80. If we do the right things in our life, like eating healthy food and not too much of it... We add another ten to 15 years to our life span. There is no reason why a hundred and 20 needs to be the maximum human life span. And there are many species that live a lot longer than us. Take the bowhead whale that can live over 200 years. That's very similar to us. Our genes are almost identical. Compared to a banana and a yeast cell. These are living, breathing mammals with milk andther they're conscious beings, and they live two centuries or more. Why? Why can't

Biologist and genetics expert Dr. David Sinclair is out to prove he can live past 100 years old, and he thinks you can too. On this episode Sinclair goes in-depth on the process of aging and the techniques you can incorporate into your life that help you live a longer, healthier life, including optimizing your diet, the benefits of exercise, the role of a positive attitude, the importance of sleep, the three supplements he takes every day, why it’s never too late to slow the process of aging, and so much more. Dr. Sinclair is a professor of genetics and co-director of the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research at Harvard Medical School, and he is best known for his research on aging, with a focus on epigenetics. He’s been called one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by Time, and in 2019 he released the New York Times bestselling book, Lifespan: Why We Age – and Why We Don't Have To. --
