Reversing Aging

Why do We Age?

​

As we age, intracellular degeneration begins to take place, and the average capacity of the cells to divide starts to deteriorate. The DNA located within the nuclei of the cells replicates itself; the replication requires the DNA to stretch, and at the ends are the "telomeres" that protect the chromosomes from damage. The DNA and "telomeres" shorten each time it replicates itself. Most body cells don't have "telomerase," which makes them mortal.

 

The "telomeres" add additional telomeres at the end of the chromosomes; this helps prevent wear and tear in the DNA replication process. New research shows that abnormal "cancer" cells avoid shortening the "telomeres" each time they replicate. The discovery was that they become immortal when inserting the "telomeres" gene into a normal mortal cell.

Genetics Laboratory Modifications

​

Recent successful results have been obtained when replacing damaged neurons in mice's eyes, leading to the recovery of the eye cells. Reversing aging in mouse muscles and brain has also been brought in by David Sinclair Labs, and they are currently working on regenerating the entire mouse.

The Factors You Can Use to Reverse Aging

​

Scientific studies found that "fasting," "exercise," and "key nutrient supplementation" encourage body cell multiplication and division, keeping you disease-free and resulting in being younger and healthier.

​

Another critical factor is when to do it. The body follows an internal clock; the most well-known is the "circadian rhythm." This responds primarily to light and dark, which tell your body when to sleep and when to wake up. Your digestive and muscular systems are also designed to have periods of activity and time for rest.

​

Your body gets stronger and healthier when it struggles; too much is not good, but the right proportion is critical for the best results. Below, we explain each factor.

​

Fasting and  the Digestive System: Time to Rest

​

Fasting encourages the production of beta-hydroxybutyrate; this molecule stops the aging process. The results can be seen in reversing skin wrinkles and gray hair, among other health benefits. Every time you fast, you are given a break to your "digestive system" engine. Studies show that when the body is in a fasting phase, food digestion repairs and fights diseases and cancers more effectively, instead of being occupied with food digestion.

​

Fasting increases body cellular "autophagy," which encourages intracellular multiplication and division, making you younger, stronger, healthier, and free of diseases. It was found that the best strategy is "Intermittent Fasting."

​

Exercise and the Right Amount of Physical Stress

​

Exercise can partially reverse the aging process. Maintaining a minimum quality of movement decreases the risk of death, prevents the development of some cancers, reduces osteoporosis, and increases longevity.

​

Exercising improves the body's muscles, respiration, circulation, and bones. Studies show that muscle mass and strength are essential keys for longevity and health; it is suggested to exercise "Six Foundational Exercise Patterns," which is how your body is designed to move: push, pull, carry, hinge, lunge, and squat. The intensity should be between 60% - 70% of your body's actual physical capacity, which means don't exercise to exhaustion; always leave 30% - 40% of energy in your tank for the next day.

 

The study shows that based on the internal body clock, the best time is on an empty stomach with a glass of water at wakeup and for 45 - 60 minutes for total physical activity. The test group rests one day per week, and it was necessary to notice that daily consistency yields the best result.

 

Over time as the body adapts to the exercises, the weight is increased by 10% - 15% as the body muscles allow, and the activities' duration remains the same. The results show healthier individuals with a gain in power and strength in 60 days.

Key Vitamins and  Supplementation

​

There is a certain amount of vitamins, minerals, and food supplements your body needs daily to replicate the cells in your body correctly. If there is too much nutrient deficiency, the body cannot defend itself against diseases, and this lack of nutrients can lead to genetic errors within the body's DNA, leading to cancer and tumors.

When it comes to anti-aging, there are several supplements and vitamins that may help promote healthy skin, reduce wrinkles, and support overall well-being as you age. However, it’s important to note that no supplement can completely stop aging; they can only help slow down some signs of aging or maintain health over time.

​

Here are some supplements and vitamins that are often recommended for anti-aging:

​

• Vitamin C​: Is a powerful antioxidant that helps with collagen production, which is important for skin elasticity and preventing wrinkles. It also helps protect the skin from UV damage and promotes skin repair.​

• Vitamin E​: Is another antioxidant that can help protect skin cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It is often used in skincare products for its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.​

• Vitamin D​: Plays a crucial role in skin health and can help maintain bone density, which naturally decreases with age. It’s important for overall immunity as well.​

• Collagen​: Is the protein that gives skin its structure and strength. As we age, collagen production naturally declines, leading to wrinkles and sagging skin. Collagen supplements can help support skin elasticity and hydration.​

• Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)​: Is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative damage and plays a role in energy production. It’s often used in anti-aging skincare to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.​

• Omega-3 Fatty Acids​: Found in fish oil, help reduce inflammation, promote healthy skin, and support cognitive function as you age. They are also associated with improved cardiovascular health.​

• Resveratrol​: Is a polyphenol found in red wine, grapes, and some berries. It’s believed to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, helping to protect the body from the aging process and reduce skin damage.​

• Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN)​: Is a supplement that helps boost NAD+ levels in the body. NAD+ is involved in cellular energy production and repair, and it decreases as we age. NMN supplements may help improve energy, cognition, and support longevity.​

• Curcumin (from Turmeric)​: The active compound in turmeric, has potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It can help protect against cellular aging, support joint health, and even improve skin tone.​

• Astaxanthin: This powerful antioxidant, which is derived from algae, can help protect the skin from sun damage, reduce wrinkles, and improve skin hydration.​

• Biotin​: Also known as vitamin B7 is often used to promote hair and nail growth. It can help improve the health and strength of hair, which may become thinner with age.​

• Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)​: Is another antioxidant that may help protect the skin from aging signs by improving elasticity and reducing wrinkles.​

• Magnesium​: Supports muscle function, bone health, and may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles by promoting skin hydration.​

• Zinc​: Is vital for immune function and helps in collagen formation. It can support the skin by reducing inflammation and promoting healing.​

• Green Tea Extract (EGCG)​: Contains polyphenols that can help with anti-aging by improving skin elasticity and protecting against UV damage.​

 

Tips for Anti-Aging:

​

• Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep your skin hydrated and maintain cell function.

• Exercise: Regular physical activity supports healthy aging by improving circulation, boosting energy, and enhancing mood.

• Healthy Diet: A balanced diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals will help you maintain your skin's health and your overall vitality.

• Skincare: Topical antioxidants like vitamin C and E, as well as sunscreen, play an important role in protecting skin from the sun’s harmful rays.

 

Before starting any new supplements, it’s important to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure they are right for your individual needs and to avoid any potential interactions with other medications.
