Life Extension

Life Extension refers to the concept and practice of prolonging human life through various means, including medicine, biological research, health practices, and lifestyle choices. The goal of life extension is to delay or prevent age-related deterioration, disease, and mortality, thereby extending both lifespan (the length of time a person lives) and healthspan (the period of life spent in good health).

This field encompasses a range of approaches such as dietary supplements, regenerative medicine, genetic research, antioxidant therapies, and interventions aimed at maintaining physical and mental health well into old age. Life extension advocates often emphasize the importance of preventive healthcare, wellness practices, and advancements in science and technology that could contribute to increased longevity and improved quality of life.

Overall, life extension represents a growing interest in understanding the biological processes of aging and finding ways to enhance life through health, technology, and innovative medical treatments.
