Fundamentally, the secret to a longer life is no great secret. It's laid out before us like an instruction manual: sensible diet, regular exercise, minimal interaction with roads, people or tigers.
So what would happen if someone actually played the perfect game, and reached the maximum age that any human body could possibly handle? What age would that be?
Well according to AFP, a new study by Dutch scientists at Tilburg and Rotterdam's Erasmus universities posits that a man can reach 114.1 years, while a women can go on to 115.7 years.
Data was pulled from over 75,000 people over 20 years, and while Professor John Einmahl believes that average life expectancy will change over time, he stated that it hasn't changed a lot over the last three decades.
"On average, people live longer, but the very oldest among us have not gotten older over the last 30 years," Einmahl said.
"There is certainly some kind of a wall here. Of course the average life expectancy has increased," Einmahl added.
"Nevertheless, the maximum ceiling hasn't changed."
