Longevity tips and AI startups

Aging (spelled ageing in British English) is the process of becoming older, that involves a series of functional changes that appear over time and are not the result of illness or accident, but occur as a consequence of accumulating disorders in the body's structure and functions. It is an unpreventable chronological, social and biological process and is genetically determined and environmentally modulated. Let's see now how aging and life expectancy are affected. In the case of mammals, life expectancy varies hugely and it ranges from 3–4 years in small rodents to as long as 150–200 years in bowhead whales. As for us humans, we can potentially live for one hundred and twenty years, and just now an international research team has identified more than 2,000 new genes linked to longevity in humans (linked to DNA repair, coagulation and inflammatory response) during an evolutionary comparative genomic study that included 57 species of mammals.
