Thanks to Paula Webb for steering me towards Dr Paul Clayton who has lots of good things to say about how to extend our life expectancies through changes in nutrition and lifestyle - and thus stand a better chance of being alive when affordable lunar tourism becomes a reality:
"I believe that it is possible to stay healthy into ripe old age and to combat, and even reverse, the underlying causes of many diseases.
Underpinning all my research and advice is this simple fact. Given the right nutrition and lifestyle, our bodies have amazing powers of self-healing and regeneration. They have to – because almost every cell and tissue in your body breaks down and is replaced on a regular basis. Bone is re-absorbed into the body and then renewed, cartilage in joints experiences wear and tear but is renewed, membranes of nerve and other cells are broken down and replaced.
This natural process of wear and repair is going on all the time in your trillions of cells. The process of growth and re-growth in bones, cartilage and other tissues is called ‘anabolic’. The process of tissue breakdown is called ‘catabolic’."
