Leaving it in claims another victim.

Pseudoscience.

Without an anal swab, they don’t know shite!

I'm 47 going on 48. Feel every single bit of my years. Started going down hill at 44. Grey hair, baggy eyes, vision going to shite, etc. Getting old sucks big time

Had my last at 42....damn I cant imagine having a 4 year old! And as far as aging I have noticed two things and both at 52-54....gray hair has just gone wild and eyesight. I have readers covering every corner of this home and God help me if I go to a restaurant. It is getting quite alarming.

I recently started thinking that if people waited to have kids at older and older ages, we could eventually extend the human lifespan and physical prime by decades.

It won’t help us individuals and would have some negative (but some positive) societal effects.

Think about it: if we choose not to reproduce until our 40s/50s, it’ll create a selection pressure to keep humans fit in those decades that up until now have been ignored by evolution.

Yes. 100%

Can confirm. It starts with eyesight going bad. Then you start noticing things like cuts taking longer to heal or hangovers and colds being harder to get over. Then internal problems start, like acid reflux or high blood pressure. Then joint and muscle problems creep in. Grey hairs then launch their assault, beginning with the 'soft underbelly' of the chin, then invading from the east and west above the sideburns.

Nailed it. Bug bites take a year to heal it seems. I’m in my late 40s.
