rapamycin triggers the same effect as extreme caloric restriction. Neither of the solutions you mentioned have been scientifically verified in humans.

Longevity research itself hasn't been around long enough to verify ANY longevity hypothesis on humans.

The scientific method came around 1600s. Statistics existed in 1662.

Science itself has not existed for a millenia.

Doesn't count as research imo. It's more speculation and musings. Research requires actual science.
