A number of studies have pointed out the health benefits of resveratrol, a compound found naturally in red wine and other foods like berries an peanuts. Now scientists are testing synthetic forms of the drugs on patients with an eye toward extending life.
Like calorie restriction and exercise — but without weight loss — resveratrol speeds up a target enzyme called SIRT1, which has the potential to prevent disease and slow aging. The latest findings were recently reported in the journal Science.
“Some of us could live to 150,” Harvard genetics professor David Sinclair told the Daily Mail. “But we won’t get there without more research.”
The synthetic forms of the drugs are 100 times stronger than what you’d find in a glass of wine. The drugs could be oral or topical and may be available within five years. via the Daily Mail Source
Personally I would want to live up to 80-90 150 seems too long imo.
Would you guys want to live to 150?

I think weed has preserved me like a mummy.
-------------------- Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

Yeah me too. I agree. It's the secret to a long life. It's like the One Ring with less side effects.

I got tired eyes and dry mouth 24/7.
Yeah I guess "preserved like a mummy" is just right
