Deepak Chopra Quotes

You can open up a centenarian's brain, and you'll see some areas that look like that of a 50-year-old or of a 110-year-old. You can have variation in the basic process of aging, called senescence, in different parts of the same body.

I don't see any absolute biological limit on human age.

I have little doubt that gerontologists will eventually find a way to avoid, or more likely, delay, the unpleasantries of extended life.

Age is the single largest risk factor for an enormous number of diseases. So if you can essentially postpone aging, then you can have beneficial effects on a whole wide range of disease.

There is no empirical evidence to suggest that ageing in humans has been modified by any means, nor is there evidence that it is even possible to measure biological age. And nothing has been demonstrated to be true when it comes to anti-ageing medicines.

If you can slow the biological process of aging, even a minor slowdown in the rate at which we age yields improvements in virtually every condition of frailty and disability and mortality that we see at later ages.

Biological age is the key component of the aging process.

A 70-year-old who takes good care of herself can have the biology of a 40-year-old. Conversely, a hard-living 30-year-old who has been inattentive to his health and well-being may have the biology of a man many years older.

I want to live to be 120. That's when I will start worrying about my age.

'Aging' has been bad ever since we figured out it led to dying.

No one can control the aging process or the trajectory of illness.

All diseases run into one, old age.

Aging is mostly the failure to repair.

Ageing is very rare. We only see it in humans and laboratory animals and in zoo animals and in our pets. Basically, organisms that are protected from the external world. Once you create that protection, you live long enough to see ageing.

The old age of lower mammals presents characters similar to those found in man.

I really think people should live to be 100 years old pretty much disease-free. I think that's our genetic potential.

Your age is your No. 1 risk factor for almost every disease, but it's not a disease itself.

When you extend life span, that's really something. That's hard to do.

Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.

Age is the biggest risk factor for many diseases. You're 100 times more likely to get a tumor at age 65 than age 35. It makes a huge difference. It gives a whole new meaning to preventive medicine.

The hope is that if we can increase youthfulness, we can postpone age-related diseases.

The biggest myth about aging is that we can't do anything about it. That it's a road to being decrepit, frail, and sick.

Aging is not one process. It's many different things going on that cause us to age. I have a program that at least slows down each of these different processes.

Children born today have a fifty-fifty chance of living to 100.

Researchers have been looking for biomarkers of age for a long time and have failed. People sell tests out there to measure your biological age, and none of them work. There's no evidence that you can measure biological age with any reliability.
