Hank (from SciShow) do a quick review on the current scientific knowledge on aging and what can we do about it:


While there's been interesting advances in genetics that promise to increasing our lifespan by 33%, it will be a long time until these are available for humans. Till there, you can review your genealogical tree for long life-span relatives (accounts for up to 30% of your chances of living till 85), and keep a healthy life-style (diet, regular exercise and avoid smoking and alcohol).
