It's amazing the stuff that gets funded in the research community in place of, you know, actually addressing the physical, biochemical causes of aging.



This isn't "in place of" any research: This is different and honestly, it is hard to tell if this will wind up being important or not. This is research that is testing how to make people feel better as they age. I mean, if someone could feel just a little better and that little bit of feeling and performing better means they are able to move more and be healthier and stuff? Besides, this is looking at the mind-body connection in aging. Maybe this leads to research on different ways neurotransmitters react and the result of aging on the chemicals - and on and on. Maybe this research will inspire others. Research can lead to more research, when allowed.


How much of the consequences of ageing are physical or biochemical, and how much are psychological?
