Unlocking the Mysteries of Aging
We are great fans of NutritionFacts.org, a science-based nonprofit organization founded by Michael Greger, M.D., that provides free updates on the latest nutrition research via bite-sized videos.
In a recent podcast, Dr. Greger seeks to unlock the mysteries of aging and discover the best approaches to do so. One method is to examine long-lived individuals, such as centenarians and supercentenarians, particularly those who are long-lived smokers, to uncover the secrets behind their resilience. Alternatively, one could study those with short lifespans—individuals suffering from tragic, accelerated aging syndromes like progeria, where children age at eight to ten times the normal rate, experiencing wrinkling and balding, and often passing away around ages 13-15 due to heart attacks or strokes.
In previous posts, we have discussed the birth chart indicators associated with long-lived individuals. In this post, we examine the birth charts of children available on Astrodatabank who died at a young age due to accelerated aging syndrome, progeria, uncovering remarkable findings that are present in all the cases.
