Aging is a disease that kills over 100,000 people each day. We age because; 1.) We gradually build up byproducts of metabolism in our cells that will outpace our ability to get rid of them, 2.) We have a biologic hourglass called telomeres, and 3.) We accumulate toxic and damaging waste products in our extracellular compartments. We can alter these responses through many lifestyle mechanisms; nutrition, exercise, stress, and environmental exposures and if we stave off frailty long enough, we may be alive long enough to take advantage of major life extension technology.
