Life goes on and on ...up to 150!

HUMANS could live until the age of 150, an extraordinary report has claimed.

Scientists fed an artificial intelligence system with vast amounts of medical data from hundreds of thousands of UK and US volunteers.

They found that “human body resilience” is improving.

Enhanced nutrition, cleaner water, better sanitation and improving medical sciences have all been key.

Researchers believe genetic manipulation, calorie restriction and new drugs may extend life much further.

They also believe senescent, or “zombie”, cells that are alive in our bodies but not functioning may hold the key to an “elixir of youth” pill.The cells have been linked with arthritis and dementia.

The study was put together by experts at Singapore-based biotech company Gero.The findings are published in Nature Communications.
