Slowing or Reversing Aging: Can We Live for 180 years?

The video explores the science of aging, discussing how aging occurs due to cellular damage and the body's limited ability to replace cells. It highlights research on slowing or reversing aging through stem cells, removing senescent cells, and altering metabolism. Drugs like metformin and rapamycin show promise in extending lifespan, though they remain experimental. Lifestyle changes such as calorie restriction, exercise, and stress management are also discussed as ways to promote longevity. While living to 180 may be unlikely, reaching 130 years of healthy life could be possible with further research.
