Anti-Aging - Well-Being in Old Age

In old age, dynamic, fit, active, sporty full of fun and zest for life with the desire for everlasting health - we all want to grow old. Anti-aging products of all kinds are booming. The drugstores offer eye, memory, heart, kidney, bladder and tonic pills in an ever wider range.

Anti-aging refers to measures aimed at delaying human biological aging, keeping quality of life high and prolonging life as a whole. The term is used in medicine, nutrition and nutritional supplements and the cosmetics industry. Anti-aging medicine is based on prevention, early detection and timely reversal of age-related diseases.

Life expectancy has almost doubled in the last hundred years and today amounts to 78.5 for men and 82 for women. It depends on inherited genes, lifestyle and environmental factors, biochemical deterioration in the body, and decreasing production of various hormones in the body.

The concept of medical anti-aging therapy consists of different pillars

lifestyle

nutrition

Move

supplementation

Mental balance

Hormone Replacement Therapy

The basis for a happy aging is always a healthy lifestyle. These include normal body weight, preventive examinations, reduction of cardiac risk factors such as nicotine, alcohol, appropriate medical treatment and treatment in case of illness. Regular and adequate sleep as well as the avoidance of unprotected UV radiation (skin aging and wrinkling) prevent premature aging. The age-related legacy of mental fitness can address mental challenges, brain jogging, and participation in cultural life.

A balanced, sensible, fiber-rich, full-bodied, low-fat, low-fat diet provides an energetic body that can withstand the demands of everyday life. Through food, humans absorb the essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements that allow for a normal metabolism. Lack of balance between these substances leads to metabolic disorders. Consequence: fatigue. Obesity - fitness, health and zest for life are impaired.

Inactivity has a negative effect on the metabolism and accelerates physical decline. Those who exercise regularly - best an endurance sport 3 times a week 20-30 minutes calls for his body and brings many body functions in a balanced state. Sport strengthens the immune system and improves the oxygen supply to the cells and ensures the necessary removal of cellular pollutants. A trained body requires less energy for the same effort than an untrained one, so that less harmful metabolic products are formed in the body. The rule is: exercise moderately, but regularly.

Stress and unresolved conflicts are an important factor of aging Studies have shown that intact and stable social relationships or contacts prolong life. For example, married women live 4.5 years and married men 10 years longer than unmarried women. Mental health has a lasting effect on the physical condition and vice versa affected physical condition affects the psyche. Optimism, positive thinking and a positive attitude to life delay aging. Positive thinking people usually have better mental coping strategies. They expose themselves less stress and thus spare their defenses.

Supplementation refers to the targeted and supplementary intake of individual nutrients. This is especially true for deficiency diseases and abnormal physical stress. In all metabolic processes in the body, but also by UV light, exercise, nicotine and alcohol free radicals. They are aggressive oxygen atoms that destroy cell membranes, chromosomes or tissues in the body. Antioxidants prevent the harmful effects of free radicals. The most important radical scavengers are vitamins C and E, nutrients such as selenium co-enzyme Q10 and alpha-lipoic acid, which are often inadequately absorbed in unilateral nutrition and can then be supplemented.

Hormone replacement therapy is quite controversial in medicine. Thus one finds in the age increased hormone levels (Cortisol, FSH, TSH) as clearly lowered (growth hormone, estrogen, testosterone, Melatonin, DHEA). By mid-50, testosterone was reduced by one-third, DHEA by more than half, and growth hormone by two-thirds. Whether a substitution therapy of the reduced hormones is useful and useful should be decided on an individual basis (consultation with the doctor) due to the insufficient study situation, as side effects (cancer) are also feared. Exceptions are hormone replacement therapies in the context of a clinically relevant hypofunction.

In summary, lifestyle, exercise, mental activity, nutrition and antioxidants, as well as a positive attitude that gerontologists and geriatricians have been advocating for years, are sensible anti-aging measures. Controlled testosterone and DHEA substitutions are indicated only in symptomatic deficiencies.
