Anti Aging - You Are Only As Old As Your Cells
Anti Aging
Hi all,
As promised, I shall talk about Anti Aging today.
Anti Aging & Antioxidant
You are only as old as your cells.
Research shows that cells are only allowed so many cell divisions in a human lifetime before they would have to give out. Based on their findings, scientists say that by the time you are 20 years old, most of the cells that make up your body have already used up half of their available cell divisions in their cell lifespan. That means by the time you are 40, your cells may only have 30 per cent of cell divisions left. This is actually the reason behind the physical changes that goes on not only inside but outside the body as you approach your years.
When your cells finally use up their naturally allotted cell divisions, the result is death. It is an inevitable occurrence and there’s not stopping it. There is however a way to retard it though. Recent research has found a way to give you new hope, a way to rejuvenate and extend the lifespan of cells.
What causes aging?
According to scientific studies, one of the most significant factors contributing to the aging process is chronic inflammation. These are the identifiable inflammatory diseases which the body develops as we age. Chronic inflammation leads to damage in the cells of our brain, heart, arterial walls, and other body structures which are attributed as the cause of such illnesses as heart disease, Alzheimer’s, senility, Parkinson’s, rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, prostatitis, stroke, and a few other diseases brought by aging.
Much of scientific research these days are focused on finding a solution to aging. Their results point to free radicals as the main culprits. It seemed that the more free radicals you have in your body, the faster the aging process becomes.
Free radicals are harmful, unstable substances that develop after oxidation, a naturally occurring process of the body. Free radicals are not harmful in themselves. In fact, they can be beneficial. The only problem is they do not distinguish between healthy and harmful molecules so that there is a great possibility that they would also “attack” your other healthy cells, causing massive cellular damage, tissue damage, and eventually resulting in a chronic disease or disorder, such as aging.
What is antioxidant antiaging therapy?
Modern theories of aging are generally looked at in two theoretical ways – the damaged theories and the programmed theories.
The damage theories of antiaging primarily look at the damage that our cells incur over time. Hence, this aspect of antioxidant antiaging therapy focuses more on extrinsic aging, which is the aging process compounded by externally caused factors.
On the other hand, the programmed theories are primarily concerned with the genetics of how long and how efficient our cells can maintain optimum health. This antioxidant antiaging therapy looks at intrinsic aging which is aging due to the rate of passing time.
Anti Aging Antioxidants – The Answer to Aging
In their focused attempts to find a solution to aging, scientists have finally made a breakthrough with the discovery of anti aging antioxidants. Anti aging antioxidants are substances whose sole function is to act on free radicals and keep them from damaging cell tissues. Anti aging antioxidants are natural substances but our bodies cannot produce them by themselves. That is why, we depend on plants for our source of anti aging antioxidants.
Human beings are only one of a few animal species who can’t produce their own anti aging antioxidants. We get most of our anti aging antioxidants from the fresh fruits and vegetables that we eat. Vegetables such as cabbages, potatoes, cauliflowers, squash, and carrots are all rich in vitamins which act as anti aging antioxidants.
What are the benefits of antioxidant antiaging?
Antioxidant antiaging therapy is actually a combination of different therapies used to slow and/or reverse human aging. With the possible exception of longevity medicine, antioxidant antiaging is one of the fastest growing segments of medicine.
How antioxidant antiaging works?
As you process food for energy, your body produces substances that are highly unstable. The process is called oxidation and the substance produced is called “free radicals.” Because of their highly unstable nature, free radicals increase damage to cells of the body, thus contributing to the aging process. In order to neutralize these free radicals, your body uses certain vitamins, minerals, and enzymes – collectively known as antioxidant antiaging. All these nutrients come from the food you eat, but they may also be available as supplements in the form of pills or capsules.
Some antioxidant antiaging you might have heard of include:
Vitamin A
Vitamin B-6
Vitamin B-12
Vitamin C
Vitamin E
Beta carotene
Folic acid
Selenium
All these antioxidant antiaging can be found in the food that you eat everyday. The best sources are usually fresh fruits and vegetables. If you can’t obtain all the antioxidant antiaging nutrients that you need from food, your doctor may recommend using supplements to make up for any deficiencies.
Phew, what a big topic.
Hope you have learnt something.
Till we 'meet' again, Stay Healthy and Stay Young.
Cheers.
