another doctor who did research in that field had the same postulation except he wanted to demonstrate oxidative stress through another mechanism. So what he did was cover 1 hand in aloe (very extreme moisturizer so obviously can't use this on anywhere else on the body unless you want to look like a plastic wrapped mummy) every day of his life for 30-40 years. The experiment worked, and the oxidative stress theory was proven. One of his hands is 40 years younger than the other hand at the age of 70. Fact.

Ok this is a bit of a nit-pick, but one person testing something on themselves does not count as "research" or a proper "experiment" , and it definitely does not prove anything in the scientific sense. Which isn't to say individual testing can't reveal great insights, it just means we have to be very cautious of such insights, and test them properly with the actual scientific method, because the seeming "insights" could be caused by something else entirely (e.g. for all we know the aloe had nothing to do with it and the SPF provided by wrapping his arm is what actually made it look younger).

However, there is one thing that has been scientifically proven (with tons of mice and some human studies too) to increase lifespan ... but I don't think anyone here is going to like it. That thing is caloric restriction, ie. eating a whole lot less (https://www.scientificamerican.com/a...aging-results/).
