[Star Wars] How does the sarlacc pit both digest its victims and keep them alive for hundreds of years beyond their lifespan?

The exact quote is

>In his belly, you will find a new definition of pain and suffering, as you are slowly digested over a thousand years

It says that you will be digested over a thousand years.  It does not say that you will be alive for all of those thousand years.  You can find a new definition of pain and suffering even if you "only* survive a few days/weeks/months/years of being digested.  Also, you need to remember that Threepio is just saying what Jabba told him to say.  We don't even know if it is true, or just something he made up to scare the prisoners.
