Nature Fixes No Age Limit for Athletes
A discussion on aging argues the traditional "three score years and ten" is not fixed by natural law. Cells can remain active under proper care, not overstrained, enabling longer peak performance. With ideal hygiene and temperance, champions may extend their careers and resist disease longer.
