    It also helps to have so much wealth you don’t need to worry over things like affording food and housing.

      Those 2 have not much to do with it, since there are hundreds of millions on people that have neither of those problems in the EU and USA alone and they still age just fine.

        Almost all of them have to work to live somewhat comfortably. They also have to do their own housework and childcare in addition to paid labour, which rich people do not. Both of those, especially in combination, are stressful. Stress ages you.

        Once you get to a certain amount of wealth, you never have to do labour again, paid or otherwise, unless you want to.

        Not to mention that they can’t afford dieticians, personal trainers, aestheticians, etc., as the rich do.

          They absolutely do not need to worry about food and housing. The sample size of these people is gigantic and it simply has nothing to do with it.

              Those “super rich” people lose their hair etc too., today they can simply afford to do something about it. 50 years ago they looked like everyone else. The money is important to deal with the issue, not to prevent it.

        How many of them have exited the rat race and could stop working forever without a problem?

          That is a completely different level of wealth compared to not worrying about food and housing.

        No one “ages fine”, it’s a slow breaking down of your body and its organs over time.

        We do actually die of it you know.

            Worrying is bad for you if you do it a lot.

            If you eat badly iften then that’s bad for you.

            But mostly only if it becomes a quite recurrent event.

            The basics are, dont do drugs, dont smoke, dont drink (often/regularly), don’t be sedentary, avoid eating processed food and ofc soda.

            And then just wait for the next breakthrough that will repair our metabolism a bit so we can be here for a while longer til the next breakthrough comes around.
