Prominent in the United States are the Chopra Center for Wellbeing and Andrew Weil. They research into various means and processes for solving age and age related problems. Also, there are the Life Extension Foundation and the Ageless Lifestyles Institute, which focus on anti-aging psychology.

However, evidence shows that ancient Egyptians in the least were somewhat interested. Study of the hieroglyphics in the pyramids betrays a lot of mention of the afterlife and even longer life while yet human. The olive leaf was used extensively in ancient Egypt. It was believed at the time that the herb helped to promote overall beauty in a person, and also assist the person in living a longer and more fruitful life. In the event that this failed, then at least, they could try to make their afterlife a more fruitful one. Contrary to what gerontologists might have you believe, some strengths do go with aging. To begin with, it can be argued that several older people have a higher sense of fulfillment than the young do. The experience that they have garnered over the years also makes up for much of the physical prowess lost as they aged. Meaning that aging is not so bad after all. There are reports of many people who have lived longer than a hundred years. They are referred to as centenarians. Although there are claims of some who live beyond a hundred and thirty, or even more, the oldest documented record is of a woman, Jeanne Calment, who in France lived up to 122. Studying her life, there is sure to be a lot you can learn about old age.
