Scientifically speaking, we grow old and die because our body has consumed its telomeres.

Researchers observed, that in most types of cells, the telomeres became shorter after each successive division. Thus, after 50 or so divisions, the cell’s telomeres were whittled down to tiny nubs, and the cell stopped dividing and eventually died. The observation that cells appear to be limited to a finite number of divisions before they die was first reported in the 1960’s by Dr. Leonard Hayflick. Hence, the phenomenon is now referred to by many scientists as the Hayflick limit.

Going deeper though, why we die, there is something more important for us to know why do we grow old and die.

Imagine your life, if you could live, two hundred years, five hundred years, or more; An endless life is preferred is it not?

If you contemplate your desire to live endlessly, and the natural tendency of us not to accept death, did you not wonder why we think this way? If fact, on our part (the editor) already know the real reasons why we grow old and die.

It is very interesting to gain understanding on this matter. If you want detailed information regarding this discovery feel free to post your comment.

t is also of great interest to note that we humans have the deep inner sense of who we are. On the other hand, no animal species has the capacity to meditate the lot in life.

Live longer. Enjoy life while you are yet strong. The attainment of good health lies in knowing more about health. But the attainment of life without end is something more precious than the riches of the whole planet. Let your quest for the the attainment of the real life be granted.

All is well.
