  • Extend your life: make the choice to take action on health and medicine, and reap the rewards!

humans have long been in search of a formula to get hold of time and the only way that seems possible to me is by stoping or halting or slowing the aging process.
of the different theories evolved i am personally very much interested in the harmonal theory in which the receptors for the 2 hormones i.e insulin and insulin like growth factors are altered.
the other theory regarding the oxidative processes in the body and toxins released due to them is also very much interesting.
i will be pleased if i can get some latest info about the research going on.
