    I’m good with 80 years. I’m currently 33.
  • Our aging has to do a lot with our lifestyle especially in developed countries, fast food, stress, lack of sleep….etc. Especially with metabolic diseases, diet is the key. No process food, at least not on a daily basis and eat much less.
  • ❤️🤍💙My degree is in science, and finding the cure, for some diseases has to do with diet and inherieted genes. For instance. Diabetics that gain muscle mass by lifting weights can cure themselves from diabetes, inherited diabetes can also change diets to off set glucose. For example..eating aloe and raw cactus will lower sugar levels considerably naturally. We are what we eat. I would be honoured to appear and actually eat and test my own blood so you can see results of blood glucose go down considerably!! ~Paquita Storm 2024 USA President ❤️🤍💙😢

    Why does it have to be a choice between 80years or hundreds of years wtf. What about somewhere in between!!!

    Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Rom 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; Psalms 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. Acts 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Corinthians 15:3-4 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. . . .

    As long as the Earth Revolves around the Sun at the same Constant Speed we will age Exactly as it is...Anything Else is just a Lie.

    The title alone on this book just gives off bait vibes. There is no new science of aging… nothing has changed for humanity in centuries. WTH? And WHO is on a quest for immortality!? 😄

    To sum it up: "He said the older you get the more your stuck in your ways !" Dear old people - let go ! 😂
