The Science of Aging and Extending Human Lifespan

Biological age is a term used to measure how healthy people's cells and organs are, and it's different from chronological age. While some people claim to have reverse-aged their cells, there is no scientific consensus around the definition of a true biological age. Scientists are racing to catch up and find ways to target aging and bring down one's biological age with drugs like metformin and rapamycin. Other anti-aging practices that have been shown to have an impact on people's longevity and healthspan include eating well, exercising, meditating, and maintaining strong community ties.
