A strong case can be made that ~60–70% of what we attribute to “aging” is either directly calcification or tightly adjacent to it.
Calcification is not the whole story, but it may be the most integrated expression of aging—where multiple insults (nutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress, oxalate, phosphate) converge into one visible, progressive process we have been sold(told) called aging.
Assuming one has all of their inner parts(organs) and that they are functioning within the realm of what your doctor would call normal, you(your body) can live to at least 120 years of age.
I know nobody willfully wants to feel anything less than stellar. No one wakes up in the morning and says, “Oh, I wish I felt worse today,” no, NEVER.
I may not yet have all of the answers, but my goal in life is to dedicate all of my spare resources to finding what it is that we are doing to interfere with our body’s default programming that is attempting to reach 120 years of age, maintaining a dis-ease free homeostatic and peaceful life, full of vigor and boundless energy.
Life is not hopeless. A full life is not outside of the realm of possibility. We just need to stop interfering with that natural process.
