How wonderful would that be?? Obviously there will be critics, sceptics and just plain argumentatives who'll challenge this. Speaking personally I'd have gained little from this as I looked 50 when I was 40....probably on account of having lived an equivalent 60 years by that time!!!!
But seriously, I think the idea is brilliant! And thinking about it, I realise that I've had my own "stop the ageing clock programme" in place since my 50th. I'm sure it was triggered by my "ex" running off around my 50th birthday. (note to self - avoid unnecessary joke that this was bound to have rejuvenating effect!) But it probably began earlier than that when corporate life decided to do without me at 47 and the thoughts of "mid-life rebellion" were implanted. But looking back I am really grateful for those life changing events that did exactly that! They changed my life. They recharged the sense of purpose and challenge to start over again.
Nowadays I do all the recommended things. The daily workout ...sorry the photographer cut off my head. The brain workout too, with good old Sudoku and the like. Eat the right things with Omega 3 seeds on my muesli...red grape juice....salmon or mackeral four nights a week...and yes a glass or two of my favourite red as advised by a dear old cleric! But for me the most important "anti-ageing agent" has been and continues to be change. No, I'm not recommending that you run out on your partner! But to be continually introducing some form of change or difference: New skills. New interests. New ventures. New friendships. If we keep giving the mind something new to think about, the mind in turn will give the body something to think about. "Come along, we're not finished yet ............ON WE GO!"
