INTRODUCTION
Middle age is a very tricky part of an individual’s life. On one hand, you become fully mature and feel like you can tackle the challenges of life much better. On the other hand, you become anxious about what’s coming ahead. You start imagining what old age might feel like and the reality of death becomes clearer than ever before.
But what if the 'middle-age' according to you is not actually middle age in the modern era? What we mean to say is, you might be getting worried sooner than you’re supposed to. Thanks to modern science and technology, it is now possible to live longer than the previous generations.
Advances in science have had a significant impact on our daily lives. Whether it is the remote-controlled operation of electronics or staying virtually connected to people all over the world, the transformation has been extraordinary. Nobody could have imagined the current standard of living a few decades ago.
Moreover, the progress seems to continue unbound in the near future. Science is rapidly evolving and creating new opportunities continuously. It almost feels like a new world is emerging, full of previously unimaginable possibilities.
One such possibility is for human beings to live longer. Based on past data and research, experts are finding new and innovative ways to extend the human lifespan. They are continuously working to find a cure for deadly diseases and conditions related to old age.
Longevity is a relatively new concept for many people. It is still not as commonly discussed as it should be. In fact, the thought of doing something to increase lifespan does not occur to many until and unless they are diagnosed with a potentially life-threatening disease. But one should not wait till that point to start looking after small details that can go a long way in preserving sound health.
In science, the concept of longevity is better known as life extension. The term refers to all the medicinal and technological solutions for helping an individual spend more years alive than it was previously possible. The progress in this regard has been remarkable but going by the scientists' claims, we still have a long way to go.
The following text begins by linking the theory of life extension to modern science. After touching the various viewpoints of different scientists, it moves on to the practical steps that (according to science) increase your lifespan. Lastly, it discusses some not-so-scientific ways that may keep you
