Review of Limitless

Limitless (2022)
7/10
An entertaining way to show what we know today about trying to slow aging
5 December 2022
The series was tailored for Hemsworth measurements, as he is an athlete by nature so he was able to perform the required activities.

So it is fun to watch him training and struggling and joking about it, but in terms of quality content, for me there were no revelations, anyone who is interested in the sciense of aging and watches related youtube channels already knows the basics that are presented in the episodes. It's devestatiing still, to see that we have some tools we can use to slow aging and the deterioration of the bodt, and mainly prevent hard deseases such as cancer and brain function in old age but still it's clear, even in Limitness, that nothing really stops aging. All the old peaple shown in these episodes looks old, they may be in better shape and more vital then many others and without deases but they look at there age and not younger meaning that the aging process does not stop, yet the body is still able to function better and the person does not suffer from illness which is common in old age. I think that in 20 years when people will watch this it will still be relevant. Fasting, wordout, stress management, exposure to heat and cold, we know it's healthy and beneficial, but still, non of it will add many years to your life (it may add some, but the chances to pass 100 is very low no matter what you do, the human body geneticlly is programed to last for a limited time which can be extended a bit, but not much more). A reminder is that the oldest people on earth where not athletes, did not fast, did not expose themselfs to very hot or cold temp, and did nothing except being active and not eating too much. The bottom line is that today we can do things that will allow us to live and still be active till our 90s maybe, to avoid dying prematurely from cancer or heart deases, so extending the time we have without the suffereing of illness, and add some quaility years to our lives, but at the end aging can't be stoppes with any of these tools. A new technology and can impact DNA is required and it will take many years to find it.
