Who is the aging session?Is there a creature that is not aging?

From ancient times to the present, "longevity" and "eternal youth" have always been a good expectation in people's hearts. But over time, aging is an inevitable.

What is aging?

The World Health Organization defines aggression as a process of gradually accumulating various molecular and cell damage in the body over time. Similarly, there are still different levels of aging in biology, physiology, pathology and sociology.

Biological aging manifests the degeneration of the organism of the organism and the decline of function. The physiological aging is the inevitable process of spontaneous development, manifested as the entire individual development process from fertilized eggs, infants, and young people to the elderly. Pathological aging is a reduction and abnormality of biomass function. The aging of sociology is manifested as individuals who lose interest in new things and become more and more nostalgic.

Why do we get old?

It is important to find the culprit behind aging! Scientific research has shown the following reasons for aging:

The first is free radical imbalance.

The free radicals are atoms or groups with unprocessed pairs of electrons caused by both monomer or compounds, and their chemical activity is high. It tends to form a stable structure with other groups. In the body, free radicals are the intermediate products of the metabolism of the body.

With the increase of age, free radicals in the body increase, but the enzyme activity combined with free radicals decreases, and the imbalance between the two causes too much free radicals and cannot be eliminated in time. Therefore, free radicals will attack other molecules in the body to cause various types of damage of the body and accelerate the aging of the body. It is manifested as skin relaxation, deeper wrinkles, and spots.

The second is the shortage of telometer.

The telomere is at the end of the cells in the cell, which is essentially a DNA-protein complex. The length of the telometer directly affects the replication potential of the cell and affects the life of the cell. With the division of the cells, the telomere will continue to be shortened, so the cells will have a replication aging.

Studies have shown that the length of the telometer is closely related to the division of the cell itself, which is closely related to living habits, work pressure, and smoking.

The third is microcirculation disorder.

The blood circulation between the tiny arteries and veins in the human body is called microcirculation, and its fundamental function is to ensure the normal exchange between the material between the blood and the tissue. When the metabolic waste and slag in the body are deposited, microcirculation disorders can be caused, which will affect the normal body metabolism, leading to cell aging, body dysfunction, and disease.

The fourth is the decrease in protein steady state.

There are more than 20,000 protein in the human body, and protein is the basis of life activities. The steady state of protein is an important process to maintain its structure and function, but it gradually degenerates with the aging of the human body, which is prone to produce protein synthesis disorders and errors.

Studies have shown that peanutoramine, spermamine and oleic acids can improve the steady -state capacity of protein in the elderly. Therefore, a variety of dietary supplements have gradually attracted attention in anti -aging.

Fifth, the level of metabolic level and hormone imbalance.

Metabolism is the basis for ensuring the orderly chemical reactions in the body and the prerequisite for maintaining the normal growth of the organism. When the level of metabolism in the body is reduced, too much or lack of exercise will make the waste in the body fail to excrete in time and accelerate aging.

At the same time, when the hormone secretion in the body is imbalanced, the physiological function of the human body cannot operate normally, causing a decline in physiological function.

How to delay aging?

Although aging is inevitable, we can make ourselves slower. Let me give you a few tricks to delay aging, learn quickly.

(1) Reasonable diet

Celenial, non -elastone, anthocyanins, cowinin, and capsules have been reported to have anti -oxidation, anti -cancer, nerve protection, anti -inflammatory and other effects. These substances exist in various fruits and vegetables.

Therefore, you should usually pay attention to eating more fruits and fruits, and add dietary supplements to keep the cells the best function if necessary. At the same time, consumption of high -fiber food promotes intestinal peristalsis to protect the intestine.

Studies have found that people who are too full for a long time are more likely to suffer from dementia, and that eating too full will not help cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.

(2) Persist in exercise

Exercise can effectively help cleaning the failure cells and the disorder of the gene sequence, thereby improving the metabolic ability of the body, enhancing the working ability of each organ and the body's immunity. At the same time, research found that exercise can make people feel physically and mentally happy. It can be seen that insisting on exercise can delay aging together from both levels of physiology and psychology.

(3) Correct skin care

It is the culprit of accelerating the skin. Therefore, we should pay attention to sun protection and resist the old age. At the same time, ingredients such as cosmetics containing anti -aging ingredients, retinol, taro snail peptides, and peptides are proved to be effective anti -aging. Reasonable skin care to resist the aging of the skin, youth must be you.

(4) Keep your emotions good

Psychologists have confirmed that "the mentality is not good, and it is easy to aging" is the correct statement. Excessive anxiety, excessive stress, and frequent insomnia can affect the metabolism and hormone regulation of the body, and then accelerate the aging of organs and skin. So keep a pleasant mood and make yourself more and more young!

Is there a creature that is not aging?

Having said so much, it seems that aging is the fate of each life body. Is there really no one who can resist aging? In fact, "Life is not old" is real among many creatures.

For example, naked mice are one of them. Naked mole is a supermodel that ignores aging in the animal world, with pink skin full of wrinkles and many huge high -profile teeth. Studies have shown that there are active repair DNAs in the naked mouse and partner elements that help the correct folding synthesis of proteins. Therefore, it is almost a cancer insulator, which can greatly delay the aging of the body. At the same time, with the increase of age, the risk of death of naked mice remains basically unchanged, and its life span is ten times that of ordinary rats.

In addition, the lobster that everyone is very familiar with is also a handle in the anti -aging session. Lobster usually appears in everyone's vision as food, so their life span is difficult to be estimated.

However, studies have shown that the life of lobster is close to humans. The difference is that the lobster body contains special enzymes to prevent telometer damage, so the metabolism and appetite of lobster will not decrease with age. In the end, the main reason for the death of lobster is the process of lobster molting regeneration, not human aging.

There are sponges, and its life span is also long. Sponge is a simple creature living in the deep sea without trunk, limbs, organs, and nervous systems.

When their organizations are shattered, they still have the ability to reconstruction. Therefore, aging and death basically have no fixed definition on them. Studies have shown that the life of the sponge can reach tens of millions of years.

Jellyfish also lives long. As a kind of aquatic floating creature, the main component of its body is water. At any stage of growth, jellyfish can reverse aging by rotating and resume vitality.

Finally, everyone recognizes longevity animals, that is, the turtles are first thought of longevity. Alidabra image turtles can reach hundreds of years of life as a longevity turtle. Studies have found that its aging rate and mortality will not increase as they increase, and the death is not aging but diseases and other reasons.

When you see this here, you do n’t need to envy. Aging is a normal phenomenon. We should treat it rationally. On the one hand, we can always maintain the best physical condition through the scientific life, thereby delaying aging. The process of aging, receiving time gifts.
