Can people expect to live up to 150 years from now for the cost of a daily coffee?
Strategies for a Longer, Healthier Life

By five years, the public would be able to purchase a pill that could stop the aging process, and it would cost the same per day as a cup of coffee.
Can a person live for 150 years? For a very long time, medical researchers have been searching for methods to increase human longevity.
According to a news story, Harvard Professor David Sinclair and researchers from the University of New South Wales have discovered a new procedure that involves cell reprogramming.
Professor Sinclair works at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney's Faculty of Medicine. Also, he holds the positions of Co-Director of the Paul F. Glenn Laboratory for the Biological Mechanisms of Aging and Professor in the Genetics Department at Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Dr. Sinclair, who is the co-founder and co-chief editor of the academic journal Aging, claims that the process might be used to restore human organs. He claims that it might even allow paralyzed people to move once again. Within two years, human trials must begin.
According to the research team's report to The Herald Sun, they also discovered that giving mice a vitamin B derivative tablet might extend their lives by 10%.
The tablet also reduced hair loss brought on by aging.
Prof. Sinclair believed that in five years the public will be able to purchase the pill for the same price as a daily cup of coffee.
At the same time, the Harvard professor issued a warning to those who want to avoid trying to slow down the aging process because it has not yet been "officially tested for safety." Peer review and publication of the underlying science are required.
We do not advise individuals to consume NAD precursors because they have not yet undergone proper safety testing, the man stated.
The novel method was discovered by the study team and uses the chemical nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), which is important for the body's energy production.
Nowadays, supplements containing the chemical NAD are used to treat Parkinson's illness and combat jet lag.

Professor Sinclair claims to have tested it out using his own molecule and discovered that after taking the tablet, his biological age was reduced by 24 years.
He claimed that since starting to use the chemical a year and a half ago, his 79-year-old father has gone white river rafting and trekking.
The professor added that his sister-in-law, who had begun the menopause transition in her 40s, was now fertile once again following the treatment.
The groundbreaking ceremony for California's newest aging and longevity research center was inspired by remarkable advancements in the biology of aging and the realization that its course can be delayed, resulting in a major delay in age-dependent health decline. These innovations, which include those from CALS laboratories, suggest that we may soon be able to significantly extend the era of youthful vibrancy.

Age-related diseases account for a disproportionately large share of rising medical costs. Understanding how to extend human healthspan, the time of life in which we are rich with energy, is a primary motivator of biological research in CALS, according to Joel Rothman(link is external), the center's director and a renowned professor of molecular and cell biology. By simply slowing the biological aging clock, it is likely that a significant variety of age-related disorders might be simultaneously reduced.
Even more audaciously, CALS researchers are looking into ways to maybe stop some components of the aging process altogether. It's possible that the idea behind F. Scott Fitzgerald's story of Benjamin Button, who gets younger and younger as time passes, is more real than originally thought. Rather,Recent research, particularly that done by CALS researchers, is cited by Rothman as raising the idea of "extending, or perhaps regaining, the energy of youth after it has gone away."
The world's foremost authority on aging and longevity research, Cynthia Kenyon, Vice President of Aging Research at Google's Calico Life Sciences, LLC, will present a lecture at a special grand opening event honoring these remarkable advancements and the public launch of CALS on April 6 on the Music Academy campus. According to Kenyon's research, the biological aging clock's speed is determined by our genes. The biological aging clock can be delayed, which significantly lengthens the youthful phase of life. The Santa Barbara Symphony's quartet of musicians will perform an interlude during the performance, which will be introduced by Maestro Nir Kabaretti, the orchestra's music and creative director.
CALS brings together 30 UCSB academic members and more than 300 researchers from 15 departments and groups that span biology, technology, psychology, communication, and sociology. It is the state of California's newest center committed to aging and longevity study. Rothman said that "as my eligibility for senior discounts has risen, so has my investment in delaying the pace at which the inevitable depredations of aging approach." CALS researchers have a personal interest in this quickly developing science.
The CALS Director of Education and Outreach, Nicole Alea Albada(link is external), states that the center cultivates the following generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, and healthcare professionals through the creation of new courses and research opportunities.
According to Rothman, "it is definitely time to start thinking about the savings that you'll need for a considerably longer retirement than you may have formerly imagined" because of the speeding up of scientific discoveries from CALS and the global scientific community.
