Stupid question of the month

[Albert Sales]

   Actually, the work that the Army did is accurate for physiological development under modern medicine. The human body reaches a physiological prime at age 23 in most cases. While in this prime, an active individual will tone until they begin to degenerate. With modern medicine, 32 is the norm for the start of degeneration, and 26 the end of the toning period. Under archaic medicine, this curve is made much more narrow; perhaps 150 % to the "A" factor of the curve. Magic is where this would be thrown off; does magical healing restore a person's life-force and nothing else? Is it physically addictive? Does it have side-effects?
    With most aging systems, the prime age is extended until about 40 physiological years. With this being the case, the study the army has done would have very little effect on it. ***** STUPID COMMENT ***** With aging being caused by rapid mutation, and the sun being the prime mutagenic agent on Earth, do the sun-shy gain "Protection from Age", and can non-sun-shy benefit from avoiding the sun? In a real world, the answer is Yes!

Interesting info it would be. But the army is a bit different from the
ancient
knight
or wizard. So could be a bit difficult to match the info up. It would take a
lot of
study likely..
