Okay I’m gonna break the optimistic impression that this title gives: I believe aging is minimally truly genetic but largely depends on other factors you don’t control like epigenetics (which can be inherited), prenatal environmental conditions (like nutrition and toxin exposure), and conditions during childhood (mostly based on when/where you grow up and like what your family feeds you).
I do think we can still affect our aging significantly but much of it is out of our control even with a good diet. If you look at the blue zones, their diet is only part of the reason they live long. They probably lived in a region with great minerals in the environment and low toxins and were raised with a good culture without ruined epigenetics people in the west have.
I think now people are aging significantly faster because of all this pollution and Mineral-depleted soils. Much of how you age was probably determined by your developmental conditions during childhood and prenatal development and unfortunately just being born in western society in or near the 2000’s has harmed all our health in an unforgivable manner.
