Today, the science of aging has progressed in leaps and bounds. Indeed, we know a great deal about how each of our physiological systems functions, and the factors that cause each of them to derail and accelerate the aging process.
Fountain of Youth
The fountain of youth is a timeless myth that alludes to immortality which reappears over and over again in literature throughout history. Oftentimes, the fountain of youth’s classification as myth is challenged from time to time with expeditions or researchers that claim to have finally found the fountain’s location. Nevertheless, this symbol of eternal youth in most forms of literature and art, verifies man’s innate search for immortality.
