Accoring to a reknown blog, scientists might have discovered a key to longevity in a form of an antibiotic called rapamycin. Rapamycin is usually used in organ transplant patients to reduce the risk of rejection. However, recent studies and tests on mice revelaed that rapamycin increses the lifespan of female mice by 14% and male mice by 9%.
The interesting fact is that the antibiotic was administered to adult/old mice, so that you do not have to take the antibiotic from a small age!!
Until the tests are confirmed and the new medicament elaborated into a longevity-pill several years will pass, for sure. Until then, the four keys to longevity stay the same:
- no smoking
- daily vaggies and fruits intake
- healthy weight/height ratio and
- at least 3 hours of sports weekly
Live long!
