In reality, many people fantasize about being able to obtain eternal life, and scientists have been exploring the secret of eternal life.
In persistent research, some scientists have discovered the mystery of life, and proposed that the real lifespan of human beings should be 1,000 years, which is far longer than our current average lifespan. Then why did the remaining 900 years disappear? What scientific mysteries are hidden in this?
human aging
To explore the secrets of life, we must first understand the process of human aging. Human beings are one of the creatures of nature. Our bodies have been repeating complex physiological activities to support the operation of life, but in this day-to-day operation, we may suffer from diseases, or due to excessive aging And finally to the fate of death.
Human growth and development are inseparable from cell division, so when scientists study human life span, cell division is always an inescapable central topic. There are a huge number of cells in our body, but these cells are constantly working day and night to maintain our living body.
Over time, oxidized wastes are produced, and they accumulate in the body, causing cells to oxidize and causing certain damage to the body. When our body’s protective mechanism cannot repair these damages, the human body also enters the aging period.
In addition, the number of cell divisions is fixed and limited. In the research of scientists, we found that there is a special thing in our chromosomes – “telomere”, which is like a “timer” existing on all cells, composed of proteins and DNA makeup.
Its function is to control the number of cell divisions, and it will continue to shorten and decrease with the number of cell divisions until the “timer” disappears, and at this time the cells will stop dividing, and life will enter the countdown.
It can be said that this telomere has an inseparable relationship with human aging, because normal cells cannot achieve wireless division and proliferation, except for special cancer cells.
The aging of the human body is also manifested in the aging of various organs. Cells support the operation of all organs. When all organs have reached the limit of bearing the weight of life, our life will also come to an end.
Therefore, some people propose the idea of replacing aging organs to extend life, but in fact, we will face the aging of all organs. As long as one organ can no longer function, the human body will die, and replacing all organs is obviously not A realistic proposal.
life limit
Human beings are still a mystery about the limit of their lifespan, also because we will always encounter some unexpected events in this world.
In biology, there is a calculation coefficient about the life of mammals – Bafeng coefficient, which multiplies the growth period of each animal by five to seven times. The human life cycle is generally twenty years, so the life expectancy About one hundred years old.
With the development of science and technology, human beings no longer regard 100 years old as the threshold of shackles, but have been looking for the limit number of human life span. After entering the field of biology, Aubrey de Gray once made a shocking statement that he believed that the human life span could theoretically reach 1,000 years.
In his eyes, human beings want to achieve a substantial increase in lifespan by overcoming the state of cells. We mentioned earlier that cells will start to oxidize due to the waste accumulated in the body, and eventually become aging and lesions.
Based on this, Aubrey de Gray believes that if an enzyme with “cleaning” ability can be produced in the cell from the genetic level, and the waste that cannot be excreted can be removed in time, the human life span can be further extended.
Another technological means of extending lifespan lies in cell division. Some researchers have proposed that since life functions are so closely related to cell division and regeneration, can we delay aging by prolonging the number of cell divisions, thereby prolonging lifespan?
This is theoretically possible, but very low in practice because the number of cell divisions is effectively pre-set. During cell division, the cell itself engages in a protective behavior in which a random piece of code sends instructions to the cell during DNA replication, indicating whether it is okay to replicate.
These studies seem to show us a point of view, that is, the life span of human beings is far greater than we imagined, but in the final analysis, these are only theoretical discussions, but they face many difficulties in actual operation.
ways to prolong life
Instead of pinning your life on theoretical issues that have not yet become a reality, it is better to seize the opportunity to prolong your life. Here are some good ways to prolong your life.
First of all, work and rest must be regular. If you want to prolong your life, the key is to maintain a reasonable time and rest, and maintain health through adequate sleep every day. The body that stays up late will be more prone to aging, because important organs cannot rest, and their functions are impaired, threatening human health.
Secondly, maintain a good attitude. Negative emotions will affect the physical state and induce psychological problems. Therefore, we must maintain a positive attitude and face life.
Furthermore, maintain a reasonable diet. Diet is the key channel to obtain nutrients. An unreasonable diet will cause damage to the digestive system. In order to prevent adverse symptoms in the body, it is necessary to have a reasonable diet.
Finally, we must do scientific exercise. Sufficient exercise can improve the body’s immunity, reduce the chance of disease, and allow our organs to function normally for a long time.
epilogue
At present, the average life span of human beings is still around 80 years old, and the inferred 1000 years old is still far away, and the remaining gap of more than 900 years old must be due to the natural law of biological development itself, cell division to stop division is an inevitable process .
The inference of human life span of 1,000 years still has great technical realization problems. Science must be realistic. On the day that has not been realized, we still need to treat it rationally, cherish life, and respect life.
