Laura Wilkinson could not qualify the test to be selected in this year’s U.S. Olympic Diving Team. Because she has finished her diving and came 10th in the game. But because of her performance at the diving, she has received a standing ovation from the judges and the audience. If you are wondering why it is because Laura is 43 years old. Her performance at this age has made the crowd stand up and clap for her. Now she is twice the age when she has won her gold medal for the first time at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
This event may not have much significance to you. But from this single event, we can have a fair idea about how much we have progressed in the path of living a healthier life as we age. Studies have shown us that in the U.S. only the normal average life expectancy has increased from 60 to 80 in the last decade only.
It is not far from that day when we will be able to say that 100 is the new 60. The recent researches in the field of how our body functions and how we can delay the process of ageing has given us this result.
The CEO of BioXcellerator, a leading stem-cell treatment and research centre has said that he has found out some of the best scientists and made a team to research on the topic of how to live a longer and healthy life. Scientists have found out the benefits of a healthy life is hidden in our regular diet.
