My grandpa was super healthy, he didn’t have chronic pains anywhere, never needed help with anything, super independent, then In just 3 weeks of sickness he passed. I’m very happy he died that way. Instead of hurting for months or years
How old was he? A lot of these "healthspan" elongation strategies cause the organisms to have all-at-once wear-out failure as opposed to staggered deaths by chronic disease.

And every day since he was about 30 he would try to write a chapter… his book was about some old middle eastern country’s… it would be monsterus to get published and I don’t think he wanted that. I think he wrote it because he was passionate about it :). But sadly It’s in some relatives basement now, and she doesn’t really care.

It's been 5 years now, there must've been new breakthroughs in the field! Would love to see an update on this topic!
there have been a lot breakthroughs and more discovered hallmarks of aging. i think the biggest player is AI. rly exciting stuff
@@ryepooh5052 shut up you don't know what AI means
I'm planning to angle myself into this field as a biomedical engineer, and I can tell you multiple leading figures have estimated 20 years for big advancements. Some say they are already there(one person, but he's taking upwards of 100 pills a day and has tons of money). Aubrey de Grey has been estimating 2035 for Longevity Escape Velocity - the point where new treatments come out every year that add more than a year to your life for every year you live. Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte has published a study recently where he expressed three specific Yamanaka Factors(tl;dr, 4 turn cells back to stem cells) in mice and their cells showed signs of rejuvenation and they physically appeared to look younger. He's thrown out the estimate of 20 years - so 2042. Another result using the same mechanic that was the proof of concept was done in David Sinclair's Harvard Lab that used those factors to restore the optic nerve. And, this is where I want to work, Altos Labs was founded earlier this year with an astounding pool of scientists(including aforementioned Dr. Belmonte and Shinya Yamanaka) with $3 billion in funding from two people - one of whom is Jeff Bezos. If you're Gen Z, at the current rate of progress you're likely on the cusp - a 50/50 of making it in my eyes. I myself have started working out this year in order to improve my odds cause I'm an early zoomer, but on the flipside my living relatives are living looong(dead at 94, doing very well at 88 and 85. I like my personal odds). Some people will say Gen Z is likely to make it based on above, but those were specific scenarios. The experiment that visibly made mice younger(and actually did too) was done on genetically modified mice to produce the factors when exposed to a specific chemical. One of the struggles in genetic engineering is affecting the whole body - every single cell in the body - and is something that needs more work before we go up and say "holy shit just need to wait for clinical trials!" The point is the concepts have been proven to a degree in one aspect, a lot of execution and other therapies will need to be done. To end on some good news, 3D printing organs is on the rise. My school, not a huge one, is just getting a cell 3D printer. You'll be able to regrow your organs and replace them, and multiple trials are currently in the work that will hopefully turn out good in humans. Therapies will come in our lifetimes, and the field is only going to grow. So have faith, and enjoy your life in the meantime instead of waiting for the end of aging.

People who say they don't want to live forever should still support this because you can always change your mind later but not if you're already dead. I have been saying this... longevity is our choice! If we want to sustain our health, we have to do something about it! This will start by knowing what supplies our body needs. Start by eating a balanced diet, quit vices, exercise regularly and take an NMN supplement. Mine is a 500mg per day, NMN by Vitruvin.
I agree with you on taking an NMN supplement. I also take a nicotinamide riboside supplement and apply daily SPF to my face to prevent skin cancer and delay visible signs of aging.

Well my grandpa was really healthy. He always did yoga and my father said that he was doing yoga when there was a yoga camp in our city And from then no matter it's raining or it's winter he would do yoga everyday and a weird thing that we are a Hindu family but my grandfather's preferred language was Urdu not Hindi. He was 85+ and he would give all his pension in mandirs[Hindu church] and bhandaras [where anybody could eat food for free] He would travel in government buses and still he only had some minor issue of high blood pressure but he only believed in Ayurveda and never took medicines from a doctor, although he would go for a check up. Unfortunately he died last year while crossing road when a truck collided with him Really Miss him a lot🙂
personally I dont want to live forever but I definitely want to live much longer than we do now. I want to be able to choose when I die. And also, I want to slow down aging. I want to stay in my 19 year old body for as long as possible.
I'm nineteen and I'm on fire!!!

@@wren_. im 16 rn, and i think sciene would be quick enough to let me stay in my 30s self (not too young, not too cripply old either), asuming i have the money
@@TuanLe-wz1ko thats extremly optimistic. if there is a breakthrough in this aging stuff, it will be for rich people only for our generation
The dilemma, at least for me, is that if you live until you “choose to die”, then wouldn’t that be no different than suicide? I would never be able to have the guts to just voluntarily die. Another dilemma, is that if people were to “live much longer”, say like 400 years, then the balance between birth and death would be out of order, until eventually the population would stabilize at a very ludicrous population value, assuming birth rates per woman stay constant. This could exceed the carrying capacity on Earth, so we’d either have to reduce or birth rate or spread throughout the solar system to accommodate for the unavoidable population increase caused by lifespan increase.
It's funny how often I forget I'm living in the future.
SylenDraws nobody lives in the future because it has yet to happen (yes I'm not funny at parties)
Of course you're not funny at parties, how could you, you don't even get invited to them
Yeah, I hope we are all gonna still be alive in 2117 :)
yeah, you're living in someone's "the future", and at the same time someone's "the past".
It’s also quite interesting to look at a baby, could be your baby sister/brother or just a random baby and think about the fact that they could be living life in 2100. Life, aging. Really makes you think.

Metabolism is the key. The faster the metabolism, the quicker things seems to age. How much correlation there is in humans is the real question.
@@chrisseger2346 r/wooooooosh
Chris Seger Humans do live a lot longer than most mammals of similar weight... I also know that Humans are pretty much fine tuned for long distance running and travel (as in, literally strolling after prey until the prey just says “fuck this, I’m done” and dies from exhaustion). I don’t know how that would relate to metabolism for size, but it wouldn’t surprise if some of the adaptations to maintain sufficient aerobic respiration going even under physical stress, would also play a role in helping to reduce long term tissue damage and help more complete repair of damaged tissue (people do scar over more as well, but said scar tissue is generally tougher as well)

Would you want to see your family sacrificed by others for "life itself?" My comment was dark humor above, but I take your thoughtful point seriously...yes, I agree with you, and no, I don't agree at the same time.

@@lemax6865 I think its obvious that the science involved is in need of improvement and funding, of which I am convinced the former is indeed happening. The latter being another issue is one we likely agree on given your response. I will say that we as a species need to address how we are going to handle population growth BEFORE this science is developed to the point that population growth becomes an emergency. It is only rational that this is the case and I assume you agree with that too. Is that correct?
_Combines all methods together_ *It seems I've outsmarted you in every way possible*
Although all of this makes me happy but it kinda makes me sad as well. What if all of this succeeds and becomes publicly available only after a few years of my death :(
Trouble with curing aging is that someone must be the last person to die of old age. Nice aside though that person will be world famous.
That's why we need to support science and progress and understand more about ageing as there are too many people who pro-death and doesn't help us get to where we need to.
Or worse, only available to the elites or super expensive
Tell Me This, You're still going to die, it just delays the body malfunctioning and makes it into a smaller time period. For example, instead of beginning to age around 30s you'll age at 60s. Stuff like that.
yes, in the end we we all die, and even if one day humans live very long, eventually they will die when all the stars will be dead :(
Imagine dying and the next day on TV it says “ scientists found a cure for aging and immortality”
It's like you are 80 years old lying in bed looking at the tv as you are dying they announce it.. that would suck so bad

If we had such an ability and didn't destroy ourselves, it'd be because of solving the population question.

@@bob388 I agree with you. But i think when we colonize the other planets in our solar system~galaxy this won't be a problem since there will be so much resources/space available
i dont want to die. I want to see the future.
Life is what gives meaning to life and death is NOT inevitable and I'll explain why: Technology is all about overcoming nature; all medical conditions will become curable, all accidents will be prevented, people will become more physically durable, ect., so all of the problems that cause death will be cured. Cryonics is a medical experiment that has all of the evidence in the literature supporting its feasibility, so it's realistic to think that people who are cryopreserved under the best current conditions have a good chance of being revived in the future. Rejuvenation research is the area of scientific research in which underlying damages that build up and lead to medical conditions (such as most cancers, Alzheimer's, dementia, ect.) are explored in order to create medical therapies (called "rejuvenation biotechnologies"); after the rejuvenation biotechnologies are developed, the elderly will become perfectly healthy, which will, as a side effect of staying perfectly healthy, lead to indefinite lifespans (this is called "longevity escape velocity"); Aubrey de Grey from the SENS Research Foundation thinks there's a 50/50 chance of people reaching longevity escape velocity by the year 2036.

A positive video from this channel? How strange...
Even the existentially terrible videos usually have an optimistic twist.
Yeah, that is true. However, unlike their other videos, this one was fully optimistic. That's what I deemed 'strange'. Not in a negative way. I love how at the end of Kurzgesagt's videos/series they have positive twists to them. Which, in typing this comment, I think I'm realizing part 1 of the series was the gloomy part, and the optimistic twist is part 2 (the conclusion).
ConfusedPal it’s because their videos are informative and objective. Some facts in life are good, some are bad. It’s that simple.
I received a sad vibe because I thought about my parents and this guy just said how weak their bodies became/ will become :/

@@bob388 maybe disable the ability to reproduce in the people who don't want to have kids??
@@bob388 I think we will be fine. Only 2/3 of deaths are age related and in recent years birth rates have been dropping dramatically. And even if our population does start increasing, we are soon to be interplanetary species anyway, so I don't think we should worry about it. I'm sure that by the time we have found the cure for aging we will either have finished colonizing Mars or will be in the process of that.

I can’t wait for the future
@Ayomide Idowu i wish i could live forever. I dont think I would like to die for atleast another 1000 years or so.
Only if mankind does not descend into a cesspool of madness, causing societal collapse.
@Ayomide Idowu But in any case mankind will expand and while the chances are unlikely, there could be a possibility of Mars being habitable far into the future.
Going forward in time is a posibility due to phisycs and space traveling, but being alive during all that time in the same spot in our planet is a much bigger issue.
Thank you for this fantastic video!
If this channel doesnt go viral, Then i dont what can. If not his channel then we are screwed. Thanks for posting. It makes a huge difference.
God bless you guys. one of my core beliefs is that there is no occupation more honorable and more beneficial than the peaceful distribution of knowledge. you are the epitome of that belief, and whoever you are I hope that you live happy knowing that you are doing the world an Indescribable amount of good.
ThatFighterGuy you are deeply right.
fake
ThatFighterGuy I don't think these guys believe in god (by human conception) that much
Alex Đoàn To be fair, I don't believe in god either: I'm an atheist. But if anyone of these guys does believe in god, I threw the "god bless you" part for them.
Maybe we won't stop aging, but we are ready to regrow hair
specifically on the lower half of our body
Everything grows hair on mice , those things never seem to work on people
Some Guy I would prefer just have hair from neck to head.

Thanks for the video!
It's crazy that people are so smart they can find cures and surgeries for all types of things. We are so grateful for all these scientists.
today i lost a purple book with a star picture on it, have you seen it
+Seth :o Meh, you do have a point. Despite that, I still try to look on the bright side. Humans, despite our many flaws, wars, disputes, and greed are still going for the greater good (at least in our own eyes). We want to make life happier, healthier, and longer as a whole. Sadly there are those who ruin this but still, overall we want what's best for us as a whole
Hydra Except there are anti gouging regulations in price, and providing them en masse at an affordable price to the public populace(majority of working class) is actually beneficial both short but more so in the long term, as the work force will be more productive, less prone to diseases, and even last longer working than retiring, cost effective benefits.
@Hydra it's also to make less money for other products, since most old people rely on medicines. if their age sicknesses are gone, they wouldn't need to spend money on medicines. so it's kind of a balanced thing on money making in the medical field

A. G. L. E. T. don’t forget it
*A* *G* *L* *E* *T*
I’ve always wondered why everything has advantages and disadvantages! Like elderly people and senior citizens suffer health issues, but they have a bundle of knowledge about the world! Imagine an 84-year-old telling a 25-year-old don’t do this don’t do that! Listen to learn and learn to listen!
Except that in today's world. The advice of the elderly has very little application
cuz we don't rlly need elderly lectures when we have the internet
Thank you mice, the real MVPs
Wow this looks really nice Especially for the mice, which seem to be getting most of the benefits right now lol.
Kulfyr3 You could say this looks really *MICE*
They live in a lab bro. What's the point of being alive healthy for a long time if youre not _living_ ? Thank you for your forced sacrifice mice friends :)
Kevin C-137 they aren't being forced they were born in a lab without knowing of anything else after all
Kevin C-137 animals are happy when they are alive and well-fed. Living in the wild does not equate to being "happy" for them, especially for lab rats, that were born in labs and only know labs
Most likely a lot of mice died horribly through tests. I wouldn't be so anvious of them if I were you :p.
Jeeee, this animation is amazing !
Welcome to Kurzgesagt, enjoy your stay.
Within the first 2 seconds I had that thought. Have never seen more clean animations.
FD I have a very small penis and it makes me very sad and suicidal.
Good Times this is no place for your normie memes.

Thank you, Steve!
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
You know what's sad and great about this? I paid $600 to learn about all this in college. this 8 minute video was free...
How about the pc?
but this vid was made not only for education purposes i guess... after watching i think it mainly aims at finding human volunteers for antiageing projects
you probably paid a lot for WiFi, the electronic you’re watching on, most likely a house, and basic needs that keep you alive, so not for free.
How much does Internet/Data costs in US per month?
PopMaster $8,000
If only all the big countries in the world would invest in science, as much as they do in military, just imagine what humanity would have achieved today.
Boogie, vacations to the moon
Nothing because all the small countries would take over with their military
YOU DO NOT KNO DA WEI
Of course they would. It isn't like war *became obsolete 150 years ago, because countries don't fight for resources or honor anymore but for Ideological reasons, that slowly die out, because they are minor and stupidic. And we live in an age of Economical Warfare, were countries with best trade network, Universities and brands are culturally colonising others. (cough, merica, cough)* Military is useless and if you really think about it just a bunch of people trained to be serial killers.
Sebastian Moore he never said they should have no military (which ideally they wouldn't) just that more money should be put to science
We need a part 2 - update of this please❤❤❤
I can't stop watching this stuff and for the first time it's making me better and more interesting lol
You should ask Ash Ketchum. He is still 10.
exactly
Lol. XD
Xd
Nah, just capture that fucker and do some serious experimentation to find out what keeps him young.

Thank you your wonderful imformation WOW.
I want to become immortal just so I can see how amazing humanity becomes in the future.
Every humans dream
🎉
Then: do you really want to live forever? Me: Yes.
Nice you see your long-term plans! :) LifespanIO, who collaborate with Kurzgesagt on these films about aging, have a rejuvenation research blog, you are welcome to check it out. www.lifespan.io/
ur name translated to woodpecker. please explain this
Oheadthaboss lmao
careful what you wish for...
People who want to die early can always just commit sudoku, after all
When they call NAD+ "Never Aging Drug"
_Plus_
...I can't believe I actually thought it was called NAD+ because of that.
sounds like a supplement you can get at a health food store _ NAD+
Nad Flanders +
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide +
I think... this is my favorite KZGSGT video. So fitting.
I'm 20 and I'm so obsessed with anti aging lol
I'm 29 and already found tiny wrinkles under my eyes and told my dad about it (he's 80) and he started laughing at me 🙃
GenZ has a 50-50 shot at being the first generation for anti-aging
I'll remember this, and if I get old I'm blaming you guys.

@@Burn_Angel Because you're stupid, just like me!

I didn't notice until I read this!

great video, thanks from Turkey 🙋🏻♂️
I so-o-o much want a sequel of this topic.
sameee
Plenty of progress has taken place in geroscience since this video was uploaded. An example being that there's now an actual rejuvenation biotechnology industry featuring a lot of different companies conducting damage repair research. I recommend reading Lifespan IO's Rejuvenation Roadmap that keeps track of how close different lines of rejuvenation research are from entering into clinical trials. For the latest information about geroscience, I recommend reading the Fight Aging articles.
Earth: We die some day Science: Hold my Beer
Then the sun explodes and the universe is consumed by black holes
Isn't any surgery or medication that improves your life span literally science saving you from death?
wrong, the black holes would have decayed by Hawking radiation before they consume everything.
Actully there is a thing called red darws wichmis our only chance for survival afyer that we are done

Thank God I’m a teenager. I have another 30 years before it’s too late to prolong my life
less than 20 lol
No. Then it might be given to rich people but in an unoptimal way to be sure that they remain addicted to the cure and that the pharma can make a lot of money
Clinical trials are already taking place.
We are all gonna die nothing matters summer just come watch TV.
@Henry Kermond I am in great pain...😁
Great video!
Love this. Bio-immortality. Wow!!! This should be mankind's only purpose.
Very True
"Only" seems a bit too obsessive however you're right for wanting to make this a priority. But, there is an elephant in the room that needs addressed: The conversation noone seems to be ready for is how to deal with population growth even if we do solve aging. If we don't solve population control first, the lack of aging will do more harm than good and I am a SUPPORTER of solving aging saying this. Any claim that I was biased against solving aging would need to also claim I don't like to be alive and healthy. Your move.
@@bob388 i dont think its going to be a big problem. Maybe for the first generation because things would still adjust but generally speaking, people will still want the same amount of kids and if they live longer, they will probably want them later aswell. As we can see in advanced societies, child birth declines with longlivety.
Maybe not the *only* purpose. We're gonna want to look into climate science and space exploration as well for the long-term survival of humanity.
Well I just wanna be sure there is have a after life and able to see souls then die is wouldnt important for me if I life as a soul
I just hope that when this stuff works on humans, the super rich wont be the only ones able to afford it. :(
At first they will but then prices deflate over time and by the time it is cheap and ubiquitous the treatment will actually be safer and better.
I'd pay everything I have
Assuming the US government isn't in shambles when it finally becomes a thing
Don't worry comrade King; after the revolution, it will be provided to everyone!
I agree with Mcdicks, because a lot of advanced treatments that have been around for a long time still haven't reduced in price. But on the other hand, technology is advancing so insanely fast. Medical breakthroughs happen all the time, and a cheap, innovative cure for aging will probably present itself.
This channel taught me more about life and how the worlds works than my entire time in the U.S education system. Just wow, please become an education platform, so many people would benefit from your videos and spread of knowledge.
Ryaken the "us education system" is a daycare center for adults.
Yes, because these videos taught you how to read, write, count, talk, co-ordinate, rationalise, problem-solve, empathise, interact with others etc. And not to mention all the basic or perhaps even advanced general knowledge acquired in a broad range of subjects - if you dared to actually pay attention. Rather than an in-depth exploration of a few interesting topics to engage short attention spans, otherwise summarised as indulgence in brain candy. Don’t get me wrong, these videos are highly informative and thought-provoking on seemingly relevant topics, but don’t disregard your entitlement to an education and the opportunities within just because it abides by a systematically constructed attitude of irrelevance and ineffectiveness in outcomes. Of course no education system is perfect, that’s really a matter of opinion, hence the content of your curriculum won’t always seem relevant to you as an individual, and the efficiency or tone in which it is delivered may be far from the best. Still, it helps to meet the system halfway with an attempt to engage and focus even when it’s boring as fuck, because it’s just not feasible to contrast enjoyment with information, as this compressed video so successfully does. I can continue to drone on but you’ve probably already formed some sort of nit-picking rebuttal or lost interest. Just remember, ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power...
They should get rid of the insane and evil oxymoron concept "optimistic nihilism" before that though, and the gnostic atheism. No one should ever treat death as something positive, or assume that it's "the end". enough people have seen ghosts to confirm that there is consciousness beyond death. The obsession with the brain as the "source" of consciousness is no good.
Tasorius can you provide sources to prove that people have seen ghosts.
Ryaken I wish
1:25 The name for the end of the shoelaces is Aglet. And also I very like your videos, I learn something new everday, thank you!
you guys are so smart
I am sure someone out there is passionate about solving aging. That person will be my--our hope.
Lots of people are passionate about it and there are ways that even non-science people can get involved, such as fundraising and advocacy.
@@cynanthropewoman3608 True
I am in medschool looking forward to a career in anti-aging research. I think solving aging should be a concern everyone alive today should have and contribute to solving. Why waste time protesting vaccines when we can all work towards making ourselves immortal or at least prolong the one life we get so we can continue taking steps towards this goal? Go to medschool ye lazy pigs. Who wants to degenerate at 70

Be the change you wish to see in the world
side effects may include: being asked for id at the age of 90 everyone asking if your child is actually your sibling getting frustrated at young people while looking like said young person
I look forward to the weird conversations where you are talking to someone and your age comes up, you say your are 150 and they respond with "oh so your just a kid! We are all in our 10,000s!"
Well be like oh son yo are so young at age 200, we were one of the first ones to be this old, like 2000 years.

This is fantastic
Damn. Love the NAD+, been using it for a while AND IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE
If I could live twice as long and healthy then I'm perfectly fine craving cheese. 🧀
Quantum Chill Craving not eating, but then again I like cheese and if you can't eat anything enjoyable or are constantly painfully hungry .. that's not living either. 🙄
Spot the vegan.
You're so delusional it's actually funny.
I don't think you even know the meaning of ignorance or arrogance, I haven't shown evidence of either. Yes, you literally just directly insulted me for making a barely snarky remark. There's no argument for me to say you're "wrong" about so I've no idea why you said that.
Not being defensive at all, I couldn't care less about the differences between our diets. You can eat whatever you want to, just don't push your opinions onto others.
2:37 _He squeeeeeekkkkeeedd_ That adorable attention-to-detail though
WateverWatever04 it's so cute I could... Die of old age 😢
Great video
I am all about this and would entertain the idea of being part of this study. Anything for our astronauts and future space travel folks.
This is absolutely the worst time to be alive, especially at 40. Right before all this good stuff hits the market.
I share your concern, being 23 myself I feel it's rather likely that my generation is either the last to die of traditional aging or the last one to see many of our loved ones die because of it.
Take a look at the Broccoli compound called "sulforaphane". There is a bunch of evidence to support its potential to increase health span.
Seriously right? But I think these things have been around for long, but we're never gonna get it. After watching all videos from this channel, i found nothing being actively introduced to common people.... Just a thought.....
Cyber Yep at 24 I feel the former is much more likely than the latter. R.I.P to us, lets enjoy our youth shile we can!
Be more grateful, you used a computer to type this which means you probably have a home, imagine you were alive during the black death, you wouldn't be alive.
From now on, I'm going to eat healthier and exercise more! *Goes down the stairs* Exercise: Done *Eats an apple* Healthier life style: done Looks like I'm not gonna die
TrashOwO goes upstairs: sleeps Wakes up, goes downstairs: *Eats 3 pancakes with 2 tacos*
TrashOwO you'll still die so thats kinda useless
Not gonna die tonight
Apples aren't always red.
Well then we should stop aging itself to stop the desieses that come with it
thats fricking epic dude
