According to life expectancy statistics, we’re living longer than any time in history. In fact, in less than a century, approximately 30 years seem to have been added to our collective life spans. This creation of old age is said to be the most important adaptive change the human species has ever witnessed. But what if the statistics are wrong?
When you say emphasizing a natural lifestyle - your talking about using unprocessed foods, being more active ? Statistics I see now say if you get to 70 , the expected average is 16 years to 86, many will get into the 90s. I see much evidence that people who have successfully focused on fitness and nutrition and are hitting their 60s and 70’s are having more extended health spans. I agree with you there doesn’t seem to be any statistics that show significant supplements and other treatments is providing significant extended life span.

Great perspective Jorg. I’ve seen that analysis before. Critical thinking is needed when interpreting any statistics.
