There will be individuals who will live to ridiculous numbers, like 160 in the next century. But those will be the people who never smoke, drank, were always healthy, always in great shape, never took stereroids or any drugs etc.
The life expectancy will go up constantly for awhile I would have to imagine. 200 years ago people lived to be like 40. Now my grandma is strong as ever at 78.
Also, the Bible mentions people living to be well over a century. I wonder if this was truth or not, but I imagine with no influences of tobacco, drugs, unhealthy lifestyles, TV etc, living a solid life wasn't hard. Also, the more you are exposed to the stronger your immune system: An american born and raised person that drank from a well in a poor Ecuadorian city would become very sick, yet the Ecuadorians survived by drinking that water. So I guess over time Biblical people built up immunities to sicknesses that existed back then.
lol that was alot of babeling. Sorry, was just writing whatever came to my head.

Nope cannot see that as the sun ages us but without sunlight our bodies dont produce vitamin d. we would be all pale.
I believe 100 is about the best it will ever get. We age its as simple as that. bones get brittle muscles deteriorate we shrink skin get saggy.
Unless We create a functioning bionic man/woman we arent getting past 95 as an average life span.

Just remember that it only takes about 3 minutes of sun exposure on a daily basis to manufacture the necessary Vitamin D for the body. That limited amount of exposure will hardly age you. But those sun worshipers spending hours a day in the sun...yeah..they're gonna be a life size human raisin when they get to be 100.

Oh, also the reason why people who have pale skin is that historically they lived in areas with limited sun exposure. You could say that they simply became a more pale group of people from lack of sun light or as a way to evolve their skin became lighter to be more responsive to the UV light and therefore not suffer Vit D deficiency. Sorry for this long ass run off sentence. Back to grammar class I go!

The most important of course, nutition, diet, activity(basics). BUT best new areas are in hormonal manipulation, especially GH. But I think the new area that will extend life the most will be stem cell research and growing your own organs from your bodys own cells with no chance of rejection. need a new kidney? heart? liver? GROW ONE!!!!!

The epic of Gilgamesh, one of the earliest known Sumerian texts, in the ninth and tenth tablets tells of Gilgamesh's fear of mortality after his friend dies, his realization that death resides within his body and all of mankind. He understands his imperfection with deep sadness, life is toil and grief, in which his final reward is death and that he will eventually lie down and turn to clay. Similarities to 'from dust you came and to dust you shall return' in the Genesis account and the Buddha’s first noble truth 'life means suffering' can be seen. His subsequent journey to see Utanapishtim and quest for eternal life is the first in a long line of interesting stories and legends on the search for life giving plants, trees, grails and fountains of youth.
In my opinion immortality is unrealistic however I believe prolonging life, prevention of disease and pushing life span limits is possible through good nutrition, clean living and further studies into the science behind longevity and how our bodies work.
On the subject of health and longevity Udo Erasmus states in his book Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill ‘We have little control over the biochemical processes that take place after we swallow, breathe in, or expose ourselves. We can choose what we swallow, breathe in, or expose ourselves to. Our health depends on our choices.’ He goes on to mention the 50 essential factors (of which about 46 are nutrients the others being energy, water, oxygen and light) that must come from our environment. These are factors that our bodies cannot manufacture but must have to live, function properly and be healthy. It is the quality and balance of each of these essential factors that determines optimum health. In addition to the physical components, physical activity and rest, emotional and mental states, and lifestyles and environments are also very important for health.
Some say Silicium could be the next break through in the longevity and anti-aging movement. The decrease in Silicium in the ageing of tissues (skin, joints, brain) is enormous, up to 80% from sexual maturity till death. These tissues more than any others undergo a gradual, constant and marked ageing process (wrinkles, softening of skin, loss of elasticity, loss of hydration). Silicium has also been linked to the prevention and treatment of degenerative neurological diseases like Parkinsons and Alzheimers and also Osteoporosis. The best sources of nutritional Silicium are whole grain cereals and edible fibers (soluble and insoluble). A special source is the Horsetail herb when harvested in the spring.
