Doctor believes we will be able to live and work at the age of 120
The question is, do you really want to work until that age?
There has been much conjecture over the topic of working over the age of retirement.
But can you imagine if we lived in a world that didn't stop us from living or working well into our centenarian years? Well, Dr Ernst von Schwarz believes that this could happen in the next decade.

"Dr Ernst von Schwarz believes that rapid advances in stem cells mean living and even working far beyond current expectations is entirely within humanity’s grasp and that 150 will be normal by the end of the century. The only downside: stem cells will not work alone. If you want to benefit, now is the time to start eating healthily and exercising regularly." (New York Post)
That's surely a good motivation for those wanting to extend their lifespan to change their lifestyle habits.
But shouldn't that be a motivation for you to eat healthy regardless...
And if you are well over 30, von Schwartz says it may be too late. Because 30 is when you need to change your life.
“I believe that we can create prolongation of life,” von Schwarz tells The Post. “Probably within a couple of years people can live to 120, 150 years if not longer than that. And not just as bed-bound non-communicating individuals, but really as active individuals who can participate in social life, professional life and have a quality of life. Because that’s the goal.”
