Do you think human body is biologically primed to age?

No its a myth. some molecular microbiologist reports that human body can repair dna damage of the cells daily around 50.000- 70.000 . but people who have deficient of some macro and micro food elements (for example vitamin e, c, magnessium, zinc, b vitamins etc) have no ability to repair this. so people think human body is biologically primed to age. no no. its a myth.

i have also read a research about people who has old damaged cells have not enough strong immune systems. so viruses that infected to those damaged cells can not be killed and you have lifetime chronic inflamation. this is 2023 reasearch. I've shocked when i saw that. they even say if people had strong immune system, their cells would be rejuvenated.

To be honest, people do seem to have an expiration date. While it is true that we are making lifespans longer, there is the question of quality of that life. It is great that people who once died from bad flus in their 50s or heart attacks in their 60s or cancers in their 70s have diminished as treatments for those have improved greatly, but now people are finding the brain and neurological diseases, from Parkinson's to Alzheimer's to other dementias.

And of course, this assumes people take care of themselves and do not engage in self-destructive behaviors because their lives are meaningless or unhappy.

A few microbiologist saying something doesn't make it true. They go on to state why cells mutate, which may or may not be true. But if it requires some kind of idealistic perfect environment, then their claim doesn't mean a whole lot.

The claim that "if A, then B" might be true. But if A does not exist, then it's meaningless.

Aging isn't a real thing in humans. It's more like a blueprint.
