Have you always wondered what life would be like in 150 years?
Well, your dream may well come true, as scientists have created an ‘elixir of life’ pill that can potentially help you live longer – a lot longer in fact.
Professor Peter Smith from New South Wales University in Australia claims that due to advances in medicine and public health, experts have created drugs and medical therapies which can help people live longer, healthier lives and potentially celebrate their 150th birthday.
These wonder pills promise to slow the ageing process and aid body repair, and could be hitting the shelves as soon as five years.
“I think there is real hope we can extend human life by some decades further. The aim is not just to eke out extra existence but to facilitate a longer healthy life. We just don’t want to live longer, we want to live longer well,” Professor Smith told the Express.
“These drugs will help with the regeneration of cells, regeneration of processes in the body, so we expect people will live well, much longer.”
With the current life expectancy in the UK being 80, could these body-repairing drugs be the key to another 70 years of life?
