How to stop the aging processes?
' has engaged the human mind since inception of recorded civilization. Man has tried to find solution in mythology, religion, yoga and of late in scientific breakthrough.
During the last century medical science managed to double the life span of human species mainly due to prevention of diseases. Will the trend continue in future? Will we manage to double the human life expectancy again in this century? Few renowned scientists are already saying that babies have been born who will live beyond 150 years. Is there any truth in these predictions?
Anti-aging is an important issue because it has huge implications for us as individuals and society as a whole. There is no doubt that we will live much longer than our fore fathers.

We don't have to grow old with health problems and memory loss. By understanding the aging process we can increase our youth span and live a healthy and productive life.
