Script

I Interviewer E-Expert

I Hello, and welcome to the truth, the program that brings science into your home. Today our topic is the truth about ageing and expert Helen Foster is with us today… Hello, Helen.

E Hello

I So, what is the truth about ageing? Have scientists found a way to stop ageing and for us all to live longer?

E Not yet! However, the question that many scientists are interested in is, ‘why do some people live a long time and others don’t?’...Studies of the lifestyles of very old people don’t really show a common pattern. Many of them drink and smoke and don’t do much exercise. In fact, the oldest person ever, a woman called Jeanne Calment , who lived to the age of 122, only gave up smoking when she was 120!

I really?!

E Yes…so if lifestyle isn’t the answer, then scientists think that it may be in our genes…that some people are born with genes that protect them from ageing and diseases better than other people. For example, in the case of Jeanne Calment … she probably had a gene that stopped her from getting cancer (caused by smoking) that other people may get aged 40 or 50…

I Is there anything we can do about it then? Can we do anything to change the genes that we are born with?

E Well. There are some experts who believe that the answer is in your diet…specifically a low calorie diet. Experiments with mice show that when they eat one third fewer calories every day, they live 40% longer. In human terms, that’s the same as living to 170 years old.

I Oh well… perhaps that’s what we should all do?

E I’m afraid there is no proof that it works in humans… and I am not sure that being hungry all your life is worth those extra years!

I No, you are probably right… it’s best to enjoy the days we’ve got!
