The Ted Talk video about longevity was very interesting. According to the Ted Talk video, Dan Buettner states that there is no short term fix for longevity. He states that 10% of how long we live is determined by genes, while the other 90% is affected by our lifestyle. He also states that 1 out of 5,000 live to be 100 years old. People’s chances are low because we are not programmed for longevity. So many things can age us and so many things can happen or go wrong.
There are 35 trillion cells in the body, cells turn over every 1 to 8 years and when they turn over, there is some damage and the damage will build up. That is why a 65 year old is aging at a rate 125 times faster than a 12 year old. Life expectancy in the country is about 78 years
