Anti-aging and Disease

By Jeff Anderson


The key to successfully reversing your age, extending your life, or anti-aging, so to speak, is to focus beyond living longer to living well. After all, living longer is only as good as the quality of life you're living. One of the many issues we suffer with in later years is the risk of terrible diseases, such as Dementia or Alzheimer's. The key to successful aging is not only to live longer but to live a life that is free from these and other such diseases. Biochemists and anti-aging experts are coming across new breakthroughs in medicine and technology that help us come closer every day to increasing not just our years, but our disease-free years.

Anti-Aging and Knowing the Risks

Diseases that we refer to as diseases that come with age are actually quite recent human sores. They do, however, presently infect our society with increasing proportion every year. In fact, studies show that Alzheimer's and Dementia plague people aged 85 at a rate of nearly 50%. As we biologically age this risk increases. We want to extend our lives, therefore, by reversing our age. Biochemists are researching how to prevent these diseases in the first place, not merely treat or even cure them.

Anti-aging Basics

It should probably come as no surprise but the primary prevention of Alzheimer's begins with diet and exercise. It is followed closely behind by not smoking and keeping your weight down. Keeping the weight down seems to be a much bigger factor than we expected. Recently Alzheimer's has been referred to as type 3 diabetes. This is recognition that a major cause of Alzheimer's is a poor diet. There is no magic to it; in fact it is just common sense that we should do those simple things that we all know we should be doing.

Anti-aging future

It is reassuring to know how close science is to some very interesting breakthroughs in the fight against Alzheimer's. One of the most promising breakthroughs we know about is a combination of 59 all natural compounds ingested via supplementation. For instance, in one trial 99 out of 100 patients treated had a reversal of their symptoms. The one lone patient that did not respond to the compound was found to be non-compliant. He simply did not take the supplement as he should have. This compound should be available in a year or two as well as other drugs and cures being worked on my other scientists. Still, the best cure is always prevention and in the anti-aging case the prevention is simple; diet, exercise and supplementation.
