Mitochondria against Apoptosis

It appears that mitochondria...the once bacteria and now an essential powerhouse of the cell refuse to go into Apoptosis and activate an efficient energy saving mechanism of NAD+ production when cells are not over nourished. And this is the reason why people who eat a bit of food live longer.

A more concise explanation of this phenomenon can be found here:

Quoting:

researchers in this latest study have discovered two mammalian genes called SIRT3 and SIRT4 that are directly involved in prolonging cell life.

So we can make a molecule that activates these genes responsible for mitochondria efficient energy cycle...and thus prolongue cell life.

I wouldnt mess with apoptosis, mostly when mitochondria is damaged/not working, cells cant go into apoptosis and with few other mutations you have a cancer cell.
