It is the dose. Ionising radiation breaks DNA that won’t make your cells stronger, it’ll make them dead.
Boiling, baking, fermenting can detoxify some poisons from some plants, but we appear to be able to survive for 120 years, so what’s limiting that by 40 years since we invented agriculture?
Have you seen the video about the carnivore since teenage woman running a cattle farm? She moves and looks like a healthy person in her 40s, but she was 82 when the video was made. I’ll edit this with a link when I find the video
Yea I agree. It’s the dose, context and recovery. (I have written more in my other replies along with the example of exercise)
woman in her 80s that looks and moves like someone in their 40s
It’s definitely possible. I have seen many who climb boulders (simple ones not bouldering sport level), carry heavy loads up and down the mountains everyday well into their 80s and 90s.
They also look much younger and leaner. All on a mostly plant based diet. Whole grains, nuts, fungi, and legumes.
so what’s limiting that by 40 years since we invented agriculture?
I think too much food, lack of exercise, pollution etc. The plants from modern agriculture have less nutrients and we eat very few varieties. Refined sugars and ultraprocessing of food is also up there.

@silly_goose@lemmy.today updated with some links. I couldn’t find the exact one I was looking for
