To understand the fundaments of aging I would love if some of the more advanced members could answer my question.
In a pure fictional setting, how would a human body change (including aging) - especially in contrast to real world settings - to whom the following principals apply:
- Perfect diet - and that means perfect. The intake of nutrients etc. would match exactly the needed amount, whatever that would be.
- No contact to external toxics / harmful bacteria / virus / prions
- No contact to harmful sunlight, but only to fictional rays of sunlight in an amount needed (for internal clock, vitamin d, etc)
- Of course to accidents / contact with forces of higher power (earthquakes, etc.).
- Perfect activity - the exact amount needed to keep all the muscles in check
Etc. I guess you get the point (someone could add social activites and so forth, but please dont let split hairs).
What would happen in that scenario. Why would someone age?
Thank you so much!
