Aging occurs as the result of repeated cell replication. Each time one replicates, its telomeres shorten until they reach a threshold that triggers it to die off and trigger further cell reproduction.
Researchers have successfully reversed cellular-level aging using Yamanaka factors. Here are three ways that can help reverse your own cellular aging: 1. Exercise regularly
1. Eat a Healthy Diet
Although there may not be a “fountain of youth” or miracle cure, eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables may help slow the aging process. A well-balanced diet not only protects against diseases while encouraging healthier skin but it can also reduce inflammation levels as well as improving many blood biomarkers associated with ageing.
Many of the items on this list can help reverse age at a cellular level, meaning that they reduce biological age by lengthening chromosome caps (containing DNA) that shorten with each cell division and some reduce oxidative stress build-up, both of which contribute to premature aging and disease (Shanbhag, 2019). All strategies on this list have scientific support or widespread recommendation: 1. Consuming foods high in antioxidants including vitamin C helps slow the aging process
2. Exercise Regularly
Exercise is an indispensable component of an anti-ageing regime. Regular physical activity keeps the heart in good condition and allows vitamins and minerals to reach all parts of the body more quickly, helping keep age-related diseases at bay; according to one 2018 study, those who regularly participated in physical activities throughout their lives had cardiovascular systems comparable to people 30 years younger!
Though many attempt to reverse aging with lotions and pills that claim they provide the fountain of youth, cellular regenerative strategies offer real solutions. These anti-ageing methods address the root causes of cellular aging to boost health no matter your age. Aerobic activity has proven particularly helpful at lengthening telomeres while regular exercise helps prevent fine lines and wrinkles on skin – aim for at least 20 minutes of aerobic activity daily as well as resistance training training as part of your workouts!
3. Quit Smoking
Though aging is inevitable, you can slow the aging process with healthy lifestyle choices such as sun protection, quitting smoking and eating a well-balanced diet. Such habits will ensure that your biological age remains younger than chronological age allowing you to look and feel younger!
Smoking accelerates the aging process by creating biochemical changes within your body that cause premature wrinkles, hand tar staining and classic smoker’s wrinkles around the mouth; and reduced oxygen in your blood can contribute to hair loss as well as lung and heart diseases. Quitting smoking is one of the best things you can do for yourself and it has even been known to add up to ten years to one’s lifespan!
5. Drink Water
Even if the fountain of youth remains an urban legend, you can slow and even reverse its effects by following healthy lifestyle tips. Hydration plays an integral part in anti-ageing as it supports skin health, flushes out toxins from our systems, supports various bodily functions and boosts energy levels no matter your age. Although no miracle cure exists or elixir of youth exists; drinking enough water can provide simple yet cost-effective benefits for our health; here’s more information about its importance here.
7. Take Supplements
Many lotions and pills claim to reverse aging, yet not all are proven effective. The ones which actually do work are those which act at the cellular level to delay biological aging by lengthening telomeres (the caps at the ends of your chromosomes that wear down over time and cause them to break down), sometimes by lengthening telomeres which eventually wear down altogether and lead to cell breakdown.
Other antioxidants, like vitamin C, help fight free radicals in the body and reduce oxidative damage that leads to premature aging. By making some simple dietary and lifestyle adjustments you can reverse or even stop this cellular-level process and boost both health and energy no matter your age.
