Human ageing is a subject that has always aroused the interest of both the scientific community and society at large. Is it possible to ‘hack’ the ageing process? Can we live longer and better lives by making changes to our daily habits? These and other questions form the central theme of the interview with Sergio Colado on the programme ‘Generaciones Tech’.

Ageing: a matter of habits

Human ageing is not just a matter of time, but a progressive accumulation of damage and errors at the cellular and molecular levels. According to Cast, one of the key factors driving this process is the emergence of the so-called ‘zombie cells‘, cells that no longer fulfil their function but do not die either, which causes constant deterioration in our bodies.

In addition to natural biological processes, there are external factors that can accelerate ageing, such as stress, a poor diet, lack of sleep and a sedentary lifestyle. If left unchecked, all these factors contribute to premature ageing.

How can we live longer and better lives?

To improve our longevity, Colado emphasises the importance of looking after our daily habits. Getting a good night’s sleep, reducing stress, maintaining a a balanced diet and regular exercise are key to combating premature ageing. In fact, maintaining a healthy routine can make the difference between ageing more quickly and staying vibrant for longer.

Final thoughts

‘Hacking old age’ may sound like science fiction, but the truth is that small changes to our daily routines can make a huge difference to our quality of life. The path to healthy longevity is in our own hands: let’s get started today!
