There's no solution to death. You can only put it off, but something will assuredly kill you in time. If it's not aging, then it will be cancer, heart disease, an accident, etc. Ultimately, entropy will get you one way or another.

Personally I didn't do a lot of fun stuff (like riding motorcycle, extreme sports) to decrease probability of an accident, even though I'd love to (I'd tried them, loved doing them, but not doing them regurarly).

As for cancer and heart disease, both are linked to aging or genetically inherited mutatations. Heart disease is a natural result of damages in the human body not being reversed.
