DNA, telomeres and degenerative disease which prevent us from living forever. Healthy lifestyles may reduce such toxins as free radicals, collagen and lipofuscin, but they are not going to be able to keep us going eternally. https://youtu.be/x-NOhJ1VlOQ
Take a page from a book, scan it and print it out. Not a lot of difference? Now if you take that newly printed sheet and scan and print it again, and repeat it hundreds of times.
Because of dust and imperfections in the scanner and printer, letters get warped, blurry, etc.
Most words are legible, but some are unrecognizable or completely different. This is what happens to our DNA – every time our cells divide, small errors compound, causing physical aging.
Some cells like neurons don’t divide, which leads to mental aging as they die out.
A healthy lifestyle and diet will slow this process, but current technology doesn’t have the capability to stop it
