Wanna Live to 450 years?

Interesting science study using yeast that suggests that we might live a lot longer if our bodies think we still need to reproduce?

"We hit them with oxidants, we hit them with heat," Longo notes. "They are highly resistant to everything. What they're doing is basically saying, 'I cannot afford to age. I still have to generate offspring, but I don't have enough food to do it now.'"
