100 days underwater: Scientist claims his biological age dropped by 10 years

Florida, Thekabarnews.com—After spending 100 days underwater, a researcher named Joseph Dituri reportedly lowered his biological age by 10 years. People all over the world are talking about this brave scientific experiment. It took place in the waters of Key Largo, Florida.

Dituri lived at the bottom of a lagoon about nine meters below sea level for 100 days in a row in 2023. People called him the “Deep Sea Doctor.” As part of Project Neptune 100, researchers examined how long-term exposure to hyperbaric pressure affects the body.

During the experiment, Dituri lived in a specially designed underwater habitat. He conducted research and closely monitored his health markers. Researchers aimed to determine how higher atmospheric pressure—similar to that used in hyperbaric oxygen therapy—affects inflammation, cellular aging, and overall health.

Dituri said that he felt much better by the end of the mission. He said that his cholesterol and inflammation levels had dropped a lot. He also got better sleep while he was underwater.

We learned more from the medical tests done by the University of South Florida. Tests showed that Dituri’s biological age dropped from 44 to 34 years. Researchers found that his telomeres lengthened, and that change reduced his biological age.

Researchers are still trying to figure out how long-term exposure to hyperbaric conditions affects health and longevity. Experts assert the need for further clinical research. However, the results of Project Neptune 100 have made people more interested in other ways to stay healthy as they get older.

Dituri’s experiment shows how marine science, medicine, and research on living longer are all coming together. The underwater mission is one of the strangest recent scientific projects. This phenomenon is because scientists are trying to find new ways to slow down aging and improve people’s health.
