The Future of Longevity Medicine

Discovering and activating the Foxxo genes and the Sirt2 genes gave us hope that we could possibly extend our lives. These genes are thought to be responsible for great health and a long life-the kind of health where people can drink and smoke to their delight, yet reap no consequences. Whereas people without this gene sufferer premature health consequences despite eating healthy and exercising. Activating these genes are like activating an internal maintenance team that fixes any damage in our body before bad health sets in. Longevity medicine is a rapidly developing area that combines advanced customised preventive medicine with profound indicators of ageing and longevity. Biogerontology, geroscience and precision, preventative and functional medicine are all rapidly expanding fields within the topic.
