Around the 1990s, a man named Aubrey de Gray published a book containing anti-aging theory. In his theory entitled Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging, it is said that there is a possibility that humans can fight aging by repairing damaged skin cells and tissues. But, until now there is still no bright spot regarding Gray's thinking.

A futurologist, dr. Ian Pearson believes "immortality" or living forever can become a reality. According to him, there are some ways that can be done in 2050, one of which is renewing body parts.
He revealed that one way to prolong life is to use bio-technology and medicine to continuously renew the body and rejuvenate it.
"No one wants to live forever at 95, but if you can rejuvenate your body to 29 or 30, you might want to do that," he said.
This can be done in several ways, including genetic engineering that prevents cell aging. Or, it can replace vital organs with new parts. Even one of the richest people in the world Jeff Bezos wanted to do this in order to have "eternal" life.
3. Drinking Mercury and Liquid Iron

Drinking mercury and liquid iron was already done by the ancients to get a long life and eternal life.
Unfortunately, this is untrue because mercury and liquid iron are not something that can be consumed and will actually cause disease. However, it is understandable because in ancient times knowledge was not as advanced as it is now.
4. Drinking Blood

For giving a longer life, there are experimental results about drinking the blood of young women. Apparently, instead of drinking the blood of young women, but using the blood of mice. The results showed that the easier mice blood when injected into the older mice, the older mice regenerated to be more active and the remaining scars faded.
In fact, the heart organs of the old mice look regenerated and are getting "younger". But for the record, blood isn’t a liquid that can be directly consumed like drinking water in a glass. In fact, only blood transfusions must be by injection. This is also the reason for the myth that vampires can live forever by drinking blood.
5. Genetics and Lifestyle
Genetics also turned out to have an effect on "eternal" life. Research says that there are genetics can live longer than others. Blue Zones are "areas" where people live longer. This is written in the book written by Dan Buettner.
Dan Buettner has revealed that there are 5 areas that are included in the blue zones, namely, Okinawa in Japan, Sardinia in Italy, Nicoya in Costa Rica, Ikaria in Greece, and Loma Linda in California.
These long-lived people living in the Blue Zones have 9 good habits, one of which is living by being a semi-vegetarian and being part of a community that believes in a sect.
He also revealed that drinking 1-2 glasses of alcohol, such as wine, is also recommended.
