Survival was the main issue in the initial stage of evolution for humans. Now the priorities have shifted to immortality or graceful ageing. There is always a quest to understand the cognitive ageing process, which could be associated to a source of nectar or an organ that might be holding the key to ageing. Different doctrines evolved in different times or in parallel; they all explored and tried to understand in their own way the process of ageing. In Ayurveda ageing is defined as jara; and there are reports about manageing the ageing process, suggesting how to decelerate the jara process.

Abstract


Survival was the main issue in the initial stage of evolution for humans. Now the priorities have shifted to immortality or graceful ageing. There is always a quest to understand the cognitive ageing process, which could be associated to a source of nectar or an organ that might be holding the key to ageing. Different doctrines evolved in different times or in parallel; they all explored and tried to understand in their own way the process of ageing. In Ayurveda ageing is defined as jara; and there are reports about manageing the ageing process, suggesting how to decelerate the jara process.
