00:00Aging is a tricky problem, and researchers are trying to help us out.
00:04One effort that's come out of the research community lately is from the Catholic University
00:08of Milan by a researcher named Francesco Panini.
00:12In this experiment, which has been running for several years, he took some older people
00:17in their 70s, say, and got them into an environment that was built to look exactly like things
00:22did as if it were 1989.
00:25By going back in time in this way, and spending time in this environment, it turned out researchers
00:31found that people could feel much younger.
00:33They looked younger, they acted younger, and they felt younger.
00:37Researchers measured all kinds of things about their behaviors, and over time, they found
00:41that the groups that were allowed to act younger did in fact experience health benefits, and
00:47they became more like their younger selves.
