Getting older without getting old - with Andrew Steele

Ғылым және технология

Ageing is not a biological inevitability. Scientists are studying every aspect of the body which could lead to treatments that could slow down, or even stop, the ageing process.
In this talk by Andrew Steele, discover how understanding the scientific implications of ageing could lead to the greatest revolution in the history of medicine. One that has the potential to transform the human condition.
Watch the Q&A with Andrew here: • Q&A: The science of ge...
Andrew's book 'Ageless' is out now: geni.us/t50pxZv
Andrew Steele is a London-based scientist, writer and presenter.
After completing a PhD in Physics, he decided to make the unusual leap to biology as he saw understanding ageing as the greatest humanitarian mission of our time. A recent Research Fellow at the Francis Crick Institute in London, he has used computers to decode our DNA and unravel the secrets hidden in some of modern biology’s biggest data.
He has featured in or on the Guardian, Sky News, The One Show, and Discovery’s Impossible Engineering and Through the Wormhole, BBC Radio 4’s Inside Science and Newshour.
His latest book 'AGELESS: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old' is available from Amazon at geni.us/t50pxZv.
This talk was recorded at the Royal Institution on 16 March 2022.

    As several of you pointed out, the original title of this video was inaccurate! Instead of 'Getting old without getting older', we've changed it to 'Getting older without getting old'. Apologies to Andrew Steele for getting it wrong - perhaps our brains need some of that anti-ageing science.

    I was diagnosed with cancer age 44 and know many others who have been too at a relatively young age. I ate organic unprocessed food, exercised, mediated etc for many years before diagnosis. No family history, no genetic factors or risk factors. Environmental factors are huge, especially in hormone driven cancers. We need to clean up our toxic world to avoid cancer, it's not just ageing.

    When I was a young man I worked at a Health food store. Over and over again I would meet these 80+ year old people (couples) who looked 40 maybe 50. I asked them what their secret was and they all said eating healthy foods in their natural form and taking some vitamins. They all took vitamin C and flaxseed and a few other antioxidant type vitamins. And they exercised daily in moderation. They looked and moved like athletic middle aged people.

Good clean food, herbal remedies, minerals, vitamins, and other supplements, rest, love, family, trust in the Lord make life worth living no matter how long you live and often does increase one's life span. Also avoid prescription drugs and over the counter medications. Over the long term they mess up your body.

    Interesting observation, but there's something called "sampling bias." In this case, it seems reasonable to assume that patrons of a health food store, as a group, would be more interested in their health than a random person (as well as wealthier, more educated, etc ) and likely to eat the kind of whole foods sold at, well, health food stores. Their interest in health would also be plausibly make them more likely to take supplements. Finally, this biased (non-random) sample is also healthy enough to go shopping independently, despite their advanced age, something whole-food eating invalids aren't. Some things to consider when drawing conclusions about cause and effect.

Seriously, reading up on aging on my own has been an uphill struggle. But I found that this video helped connect the dots for me in a clear manner. I really appreciate holding my hand as I navigated this complex process. And it does a very decent job in tackling tough social, economic and demographic issues. Keep it up guys, it has made a big difference for me in terms of how I live and move forward to the next couple of decades.

    Cultural disorders have little if anything to do with the fact that most, if not all the world's so - called clean drinking water is poisoned with toxic chemicals including fluoride which amongst other things is known to cause Cancer. Also, the food we eat is pumped full of toxic chemicals. The soil our food is grown in is also poisoned as is all the world's sea water and the very air we all breathe. Now it stands to reason that if everything that goes into our body is poisoned with toxins, then so too is our body also poisoned at the cellular level.

Doing a bit of research about death and persons who have been resuscitated after clinical death is interesting. Most recollections indicate dying is not so bad.

You are frequently required to stay up all night and sometimes you might get just a couple of hours sleep in a couple of days. So it's no wonder that soldiers are very happy to be allowed to sleep. Anyway, regardless, getting enough sleep is a priority. That's very true. One reason that exercise is important is that it facilitates proper sleep.

    I'd heard about one or two of the possibilities in reversing the aging process over the past few years and was wondering how the various things in trial were going, but obviously wasn't aware of how many different areas of research there were that are likely to now to be developing ways to treat each specific symptom, and it is very nice to see how excited Andrew is about the possible near future advancements. Thanks so much to him and The Royal Institution for sharing this information, he is very articulate, easy to watch, and his excitement is contagious. I just hope that people will start donating to research into curing ageing, rather than donating so many billions to curing each of it's individual symptoms! There's another few trillion dollars into the world economies once/if a cure for ageing can one day be found. 🙏✌

    Is not the truth of the matter that from the moment that men (human beings) are born, or first draw breath, they embark upon a process identical in every respect to either jumping or being pushed from a very high place, which can only possibly have one result or consequence? What the speaker seems to be contemplating is that it is possible to commence or start that process of falling *without* eventually coming into contact the ground or whatever is adamant at high speed, or that it is or might be, possible to go in for falling *without* landing on the ground. Is it not exactly correct state that there is absolutely nothing that anyone might try after entering the process of life or falling that can possibly alter that inexorable consequences or results of falling which started from the moment that you either jumped or were pushed? Is it not true to say that for all practical purposes, given that jumping or being pushed, or living can only have one possible outcome jumping or falling or living are in every possible respect identical to hitting the ground? - Because one is the inescapable consequence of the other because that was a certainty from the moment that you were born, first drew breath, jumped, or were pushed, or were born, for all practical purposes given that the outcome of jumping is hitting the ground. Furthermore it strikes me that while you are alive or falling, no amount of worrying or being afraid and no amount of doing anything can possibly affect the inescapable consequence or outcome. Why would anyone be frightened something that they have never experienced? Is it not true to say that no amount of fear or care can possibly alter the inevitable outcome of jumping or being pushed or living? - Do you not hit the ground the very second you jump or are born or commence what is called living which in point of fact and reality(whatever that might be) that it can only possibly have one *absolutely certain* outcome unless of course you happen have a note from your mummy saying that diddums is excused gravity, so the title the piece is best rephrased as “how to jump or fall/jump from a higher place without hitting the ground which is identical to saying: “how to go swimming without getting wet” Thus birth is jumping, and living is falling. Right now dear reader you and I are rather like the man that jumps from the top of a very high building of say, two hundred storeys and going by an open window on the 50th floor and saying to whoever happens to be looking out of the window: “so far so good.” That being the case the title of the piece is little more than: “how to jump from the top of a skyscraper without actually hitting the ground.” I rather suppose that there is a word or someone that supposes or imagines that that is possible given that for practical purposes jumping or falling and landing, are one and the same thing, or some might suggest that is possible to fall more slowly and that to them, they appear to be falling so slowly that they may suppose that they will never get the ground, and I also suppose there is a word for someone like that. You and I, dear reader are falling at this very moment, are we not? Do you suppose that there is *anything* that you and I can possibly do that can materially alter the inevitable outcome of jumping or being pushed, or living, or falling? Do you perhaps suppose that it is possible to fall*Up*?

    Interesting talk on the subject of aging. It’s primarily about anti-aging drugs that will be available in the future. If that’s the case, and they’re affordable, I’ll try it. In the time being, it makes sense to take good care of yourself and stay active to slow down the aging process as much as possible. Now for my story. As a teenager and preteen kid I was one of those wimpy weakling types, largely useless at sports and school physical education class. Fast forward to the present I’m 61 years old, healthy and quite fit, and from what others have told me I look about 8 years younger than my actual age. Why? What happened? It’s because I smartened up, have taken decent care of my health, and keep active, ignoring all those ageisms that someone my age shouldn’t be doing the things I do like mountain biking. If I can do it, so can anyone else. I recently saw a video about a woman 73 year old mountain biking down steep slopes in British Columbia. Also I see Paul McCartney is still rocking at 80 years old and last but not least I saw a clip on TV of a 100 year old man still driving the tractor and working his farm near Teeswater, Ontario. See what happens when you stay active?

    A caveat worth mentioning is there is such a thing as overtraining and it is quite debilitating. An active lifestyle needs more sleep to repair and build muscle. More to the point, most people are not mesomorphs, so attenuate your expectations accordingly. More breathing also means more oxidative stress and cell cycling, and not all activities are created equal. Running a marathon in a smoggy trafficked road probably isnt as good for you as doing cross country in a forest or beach.

    He misrepresented some of that though. Look up a chart showing global population growth since 1800 or even 1900 to current, not the fake one he used for bias purposes. There would be more people added by his plan than the entire global population in 1950. His "only 16%" is 2 BILLION more people. (Plus 9 million people starve to death every year NOW. That's 250,000 just today. 250,000 tomorrow. And every day after. There's no place for misinformation in science.

    @dražen g "strain it would put on pension system": if people are staying healthy and robust why should they retire in their 60s? Why wouldn't they continue to stay employed into their 100s (or 200s...)? The sad answer is that a lot of people are fundamentally unhappy with their jobs. Looking forward to being able to give up employment in their 60s is what keeps them going day to day. The requirement for most people to labor in an unfulfilling way for most of their lives is a much more serious societal issue than ageing. The lack of resources would also be a very serious challenge with increased population due to extended lifespan, but it's already a very serious challenge with people dying on average in their 70s. These don't have to be either/or, all or nothing propositions. As a species we can learn to extend our lifespan to the fullest, utilize resources wisely, eliminate human abuses of each other, etc., simultaneously.

    Unrelated to all the moral issues and monetary benefits, I see a huge potential in academics. Usually aging puts a massive damper on your academic career. As I have taught programming to 13 and 40 year olds alike, you can clearly see the slowdown with age. Programming is a especially good indicator since it deviates from almost everything you learn in school and daily life. You really need a flexible mind and children are very good at that. If you could bring just a little bit of that flexibility and curiosity back to a 60 year old researcher, we could narrow the gap to the next breakthrough in anything basically.

    I believe you are underestimating the importance "forgetting" plays on the development of new theories. I strongly suggest you watch Richard Feynman's lectures on physics from the 1960s. There's a particular moment where one of the professors in the audience tries to defend "classical optics" - only for Feynman to shoot him down in spectacular fashion based on recent experiments confirming certain predictions provided by quantum-mechanics. We need to face facts here - a human brain with a Ph.D already takes an average of 31 years to build. By any reasonable standard, it's already approaching mid-life and becoming obsolete as is. Asking a brain that's been specializing on one specific subset of problems for 30 years to keep producing discoveries when its 30 years out of date with much of its own field let alone applicable discoveries from every other field is almost pointless. It's not about the quality of the individual brain, it's about the quality of the information stored within.

    OP and Grizzabeebles you both made such interesting points. From my own personal thoughts, I've always thought that the work systems, mostly globally, but especially in the west, and in countries that adopt western ways, are deeply flawed in how only a very very specific and small demographic is considered by society of greatest value, contributions worthy and capable to being a productive member of society. Work structures are created so that anybody older isn't viewed as valuable, and are unashamedly rejected. No matter the different ways the human mind scientifically computes as it lives, we still acquire wisdom through experiences and an endless degree of other things, something a young person would never be able to contribute with. That said youth IS also very valuable. We just reject incredible productivity, their guidance and personal historical information from our elders, solely due to some baffling obsession with youth. When I speak to older people, I'm blown away by their stories, every single time, by the way they think and how they perceive life. They're treasure troves, and should be a part of society/life as such.

    @@ts4686 -- This is just my opinion, but have you ever noticed how people of different ages search for missing objects? Children under a certain age tend to run from room to room randomly, teenagers and adults in their 20s start tending toward retracing their steps and doing systematic searches. And people above a certain age tend to shout instructions based on personal experience and historical patterns without getting out of their chairs. There's also the phenomena of people age 30+ starting to walk past the object they're looking for multiple times because they're expecting to see the object in a familiar place or see the object from a particular angle. Adults who don't have children often forget to check to see if an object is buried under other objects, etc. I suspect humans evolved under conditions where people of a variety of ages worked together to solve problems. As such, brains of different ages are more sensitive to different types of patterns and different types of problem-solving. But how is that supposed to be leveraged when it comes to problems like solving string theory or marine rescue or designing skyscrapers? There's a certain minimum of technical knowledge that takes decades to learn or extreme safety risks that make bringing children to the problem *more* troublesome rather than less. What I'm suggesting is that the same probably holds true for the other age-related brain development cohorts. We as a species have generally let our social and economic systems stratify based on arbitrary lines. But age isn't arbitrary - it *HAS* consistent and measurable effects on the way a person thinks. It is my belief that there are just some problems that an 8 year-old is better suited to solve than than a 38 year-old or an 83 year-old. A society composed of only one type of mind only produces one type of solution. A society mostly composed of old minds, for example, results in nothing but a lot of shouting and no actual movement.

We are better suited at becoming successful beings as community and in unity, than the way we are now fragmented, divided and separated, based on producing endless profits in an unsustainable system. These systems are not in sync with humans, nor are they sensitive to our rhthyms, potential or well being. They're merely there to generate more more more profit. Profit based in yet another theoretical unsustainable system, benefitting only a few. The fields you mentioned of engineering, science and architecture are a mere few of massively vast job descriptions, but even in the jobs you wrote of, they've effectively proven that getting children and older people in on idea development, has shown to be beneficial, exactly due to that one category of minds can't produce enough diversity of ideas and productivity.

Please bear in mind that as life-spans grow longer the proportion of the population with an "elder" mindset will grow far above historical norms and unless preventative action is taken, society will naturally shift exclusively toward the primary "elder" problem solving method - yelling at young people. Already, the Japanese society seems to be on the verge of a critical number of young workers getting so frustrated with having their voices suppressed by an aging generation that they are choosing to eschew traditional work and material possessions and are simply waiting until enough of the elderly population dies off for political and economic reform to be possible.

    When I started "restudying" biology as an adult many pennies finally dropped compared to what I learned in school, to break it down I realized yes you are literally what you eat and more on the philosophical side of things, yes we really are all one. It made me think about ageing and what those implications would be if we lasted even a decade longer. If everyone had the more reasonable life span of 100 years instead of maybe making it to our 80s/90s I think it may have the opposite effect on the population. I think most species only breed out of nessecessity and lack of time. We "know" we only have so long to have a family and on an emotional level it may be to replace the family already lost etc. But what if we have more time? That might change. Also on the most selfish side some people try to live their youthful dreams through their kids, again what if we have more time to realise those dreams for ourselves? As far as America and where it throws money, I don't think all the Healthcare companies would let money go to that research when they make so much from diseases and suffering. Vicious cycle.

    It is already possible to minimise all the diseases mentioned and thus age considerably more healthily by changing our diet to one that minimises carbohydrate, especially refined sugars. All those diseases and more in most people are due to our bodies inability to deal with the high levels of blood glucose and fructose in the modern western diet. The damage caused by this takes years to accrue but accelerates with increased dose. This increased dose is why we are now seeing children who are obese and diabetic after consuming this hyperpaletable and cheap food from a young age. We only need look back 60 years to see a time when these diseases were rare. This dietary change would also save our health services billions.

    This is why Metformin has anti-aging effects - because it helps reduce blood glucose levels. It is odd that this video doesn't mention at all the role glucose has in disease and aging, in great part through the glycation of proteins. I think it is because a high carb plant based diet is accepted a priori as the optimal diet for humans, so it is never considered a candidate for causing illness and accelerated aging.

"evolution" means a gradual change and can apply to just about anything, from life to consumer products. "natural selection" is a type of evolution but one that is determined by a combination of chance and environment (simple in principle and without a designer). In reality, evolution by natural selection is incredibly complex but that complexity arises from the huge number of variables involved, not from the concept itself, which is actually pretty simple.

No wonder he truncated the graph. Ri is typically excellent. This was very disappointing. He's more shady lawyer than science presenter. Ghastly.

    Evolution gets a lot of things wrong, especially if it has no way of preparing for it. Also, the diet of the earliest hominins was probably somewhat similar to the diet of modern chimpanzees: omnivorous, including large quantities of fruit, leaves, flowers, bark, insects. Meat only became dominant as the hunting tools evolved, which made it possible to hunt larger prey (to near, or total extinction). And then agriculture brought us back to plants, mostly, until the domestication of certain animals.

We dream of being ageless, never ever caring if we really reached that level of maturity in the first place - this is proof in itself that we are still 10-12 years children.!
