A scientist has said he is now medically ten years younger after spending three months underwater.
Retired naval officer Joseph Dituri spent 93 days inside a 100sqft pod in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean to research the effects of a pressurised environment on the human body. Medics who assessed Dituri after he got back to dry land told him that his vitals, DNA and stem cells were now those of a younger person, compared to how he was at the start of the experiment.
The rejuvenating experiment, which also helped him achieve the world record of living underwater, helped him achieve better sleep and a 72-point drop in cholesterol. His inflammatory markers have been slashed in half.
