New research has demonstrated a way to reverse cell aging by 30 years, an accomplishment no other reprogramming method has accomplished to date.
Bryan Johnson is a tech millionaire who practices an extreme anti-aging regimen, which has allowed him to reverse over three decades from his biological age. He attributes this achievement to four simple daily habits.
1. Exercise
Researchers have long experimented with ways to reverse aging, with mixed success. Nobel laureate Shinya Yamanaka won recognition for developing factors that can return cells back into an embryonic state; unfortunately this approach doesn’t work on humans. A recent study shows physical exercise may stop this Yamanaka process at just the right moment and turn back time by 30+ years. Furthermore, physical exercise helps improve biomarkers associated with aging in blood samples taken prior to exercise sessions.
Physical exercise has a powerful antiaging impact at both cellular and system levels, directly impacting nine major signs of aging: genomic instability, telomere attrition, epigenetic modifications, loss of proteostasis regulation, deregulated nutrient sensing mechanisms, mitochondrial dysfunction, cell senescence and stem cell exhaustion.
3. Diet
Diets rich in plants and low in processed foods are key components in delaying biological aging, supporting healthy telomere length, decreasing chronic inflammation, and improving many blood biomarkers associated with age. Furthermore, such diets help prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) as well as increasing longevity through improving heart health.
Yamanaka factors, which revert cells back to embryonic form, have long been used to reverse aging processes in mice, but scientists had been struggling to use similar techniques on humans without overstepping boundaries. New research has discovered a way to stop the reprogramming process at just the right moment – effectively turning back time 30 years in human skin cells! This accomplishment stands as the greatest success anyone has had at turning back the clock so far.
4. Supplements
Supplements can play an instrumental role in turning back the clock on biological aging. Supplements may help you avoid diseases related to aging, improve blood biomarkers and enhance overall health benefits – some key ones include Berberine, Lutein, Quercetin and Resveratrol for this purpose.
Many individuals want to delay or reverse aging by getting enough exercise, eating healthily, foregoing cigarettes and alcohol consumption and increasing sleep time – these all help decrease biological age.
As these steps alone are not enough to turn back time 30 years, scientists are exploring Yamanaka factors – Shinya Yamanaka won a Nobel Prize for discovering them in 2012 – which revert cells back to embryonic state. Although not ready for human trials just yet, these chemicals could help stop cell reprogramming before it resets your age too significantly.
5. Lifestyle
Scientists have long researched ways to turn back the clock of aging; unfortunately it’s not yet possible to completely stop or reverse all cellular aging; however, lifestyle changes may help slow biological aging processes. Eating diets low in fat and sugar, getting enough sleep, not smoking, monitoring blood pressure levels regularly, remaining physically active and following eight healthy lifestyle recommendations can all make your biological age lower than your chronological age; this helps protect against heart disease and other age-related health problems; scientists have even been able to “time jump” human skin cells by 30 years!
