Elixir of life: Immortality in our hands

Immortality doesn’t seem to be so far away. This concept of a substance that can make you live forever, comes from alchemists, the fathers of nowadays scientists. But no one have ever found the “philosopher’s stone”, till now.
Some scientists from Nazarbayev University in the capital, Astana, have been asked to develop a drink, similar to a yogurt, called “nar”. This idea came from their 72-year-old leader, Nursultan Nazarbayev, who has being reigning since 1990 and wants to keep doing it till 2020.

This drink is based on the idea that all the diseases are caused in the stomach. Apparently the digestive system has a hundred trillion microbes, which is ten times more the amount of the in the rest of our main organs. The mixture of this microbes causes diseases as diabetes, obesity and even cancer. Controlling them with special probiotics can be the answer to have a longer and healthier life.

Country rulers will always want to remind in power for a longer time, even queen Elizabeth is interested in this improvement.

This drink obviously won’t be sold on shops, but it has been already tested and openly presented in an international scientific conference at the beginning of this month, in the Nazarbayev University.

Did you know about microbes? Would you try “nar”? why? Do you think it’s ok for a country’s governator asked the scientific community to develop this kind of experiments?
