Preface
The purpose of this website is to inform the professional about the aging process. Aging starts at birth and finally end at death. It is an ongoing process that is important to understand. People like to have some control or ability to influence lifespan. Eternal life is no option, that is a myth. Understanding the process gives the opportunity to assist and extend life to make it a long lasting healthy process.
It is important to place scientific development in the right perspective. Evolution has been “cheated” by the fast increase of lifespan. In less than 100 years the human age has improved with 20-30 years. This is an incredible achievement.
With this achievement, the most important goal should be the expand of healthy years. Currently, people suffer from 10-20 years of bad health which is around 15 – 30% of the lifespan. The focus of this website is to create awareness and knowledge to help and improve the general amount of healthy years and decrease the cost of healthcare. By providing and assisting the plus 35 group with the proper information and tools it could save large amounts of money but most of all the suffering that goes with every disease. The working goal is prevention only after that the focus can turn to people with the disease.
All knowledge is based on interpretation, personal view, research and in the vision and critical eye of others. It is neither all conclusive nor has the pretention to be complete. Science is considered undoubted facts but there is always room for interpretation. This website contains a collected vision of many scientists but still one should work with experience and some trial and error. Science is a developing process and not a race already won. Many scientists contributed directly, indirectly or from a historical perspective to the content but much more research is needed.
One of the most important virtues of aging is the move from talking to listening. Every person is aging in a unique way. Listening combines knowledge facts, the story told and experience into a personal helping formula. This website gives the tools. Organized seminars and lectures hand the instruments and the professional groups are ears and eyes. Join one of the groups to improve personal professionality.

Introduction
To understand aging it is important first to study life itself. The foundation of life is (bio) chemistry. All that surrounds us and the universe is based on chemistry. Every process is chemical or mechanical (physical) or a combination of both. In this website, the focus is on the principles of biology and chemistry to understand the processes of life and aging.
Aging is surrounded by a “mystical” portion of assumptions, myths, believes and traditions/culture. Altogether it is not easy to enter this topic with an open mind. Every person and living being gets older, has connections with older people and are related to them. Emotions play a high ball.
To refrain from emotions it is important to analyze the topic part by part. There are many theories on aging. All pretend to be the “one and only” but aging is a multi-dimensional process and there is no one layer solution. This website addresses most of the different sides of the problem and asks everyone to participate in this ongoing research by sending remarks and commands. All effort taken is in the benefit of mankind and not individuals. Join the activities and connect with us.
