The term “anti-aging” is coming up frequently lately, and with more than 8,000 people in the US turning 60 each day, it’s possibly going to be a part of our vocabulary for a considerable time to come.  But what precisely does it mean?

Anti-Aging medicine – targeting age-implicated Disorders

Medically speaking, anti-age defying refers to the detection, prevention, and reversal of age-related sicknesses.  Progress in anti-aging medicine, a comparatively new field, has been really fast.  In up to date decades plenty of the once-standard perceptions about aging have been overturned as new treatments and methods proved effective.

Age-defying medicine incorporates the following :

– spotting the impact of lifestyle on aging

– Detecting and treating conditions like diabetes earlier, at a pre-clinical level

– Harnessing the power of antioxidants to fix and forestall cellular damage

– Antioxidant vitamins like vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin C

– Antioxidant supplements like COQ10, resveratrol, and glutathione

– Hormonal additions like DHEA and HGH

Anti-Aging Science – focusing on getting older

The systematic community tends to see age-defying more vis tackling the aging process itself, with research on the simple way to delay, prevent, or reverse aging.  To date no methodology for doing so has been settled, but one of the most promising areas of study involves studying the results of moderate stressors at the cellular level.

Animal studies have shown that moderate stressors like calorie reduction tend to lengthen the lifespan of the animal.  This occurs because stress excites cells to produce protiens that essentially repair cellular damage.

Research on how this effect can be put to use to reverse or halt the process of aging is continuing.

Buyer interest makes claims for anti-aging a valuable addition to any product.  Be careful of phenomenal claims, “secret formulas”, or any product that promises what sound like very unlikely results.
