Find out whether you are suffering from physiological or pathological ageing.

The ageing can be defined as a progressive functional deterioration, or a progressive gradual decline in physiological function with age, including a decrease in fecundity (Partridge and Mangel 1999; Lopez-Otin et al.2013), or the intrinsic, inevitable and irreversible age-related process of loss of viability and increased vulnerability (Comfort, 1964). Clearly, human ageing is associated with a wide range of physiological changes that not only make us more susceptible to death, but also limit our normal functions and make us more susceptible to a range of diseases.

Ageing is characterised by changes in appearance, such as a gradual reduction in height and weight due to loss of muscle and bone mass, a lower metabolic rate, longer reaction times, impairment in certain memory functions, decline in sexual activity , and menopause in women, a decrease in functional hearing, smell and vision, decline in immune, lung and kidney functions, exercise performance and multiple endocrine changes.

On the other hand, the incidence of the number of pathologies increases with age. These include type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and kidney disease. It should also be noted that the incidence of some conditions, such as sinusitis, remains relatively constant with age, while the incidence of others, such as asthma, even decreases.

The physiological or primary ageing  would rather refer to the first aspect, i.e. that of gradual biological, psychological and social changes related to age, which are intrinsic and unavoidable.

The pathological ageingalso called secondary, would rather refer to changes resulting from diseases and bad habits.

In the face of both, it would be desirable to optimal ageingThe aim is to grow old in the best possible circumstances (physical, psychological, social), taking into account the many factors involved in the ageing process.

With anti-ageing medicine, what we are trying to achieve is not pathological ageing, but physiological ageing that is typical of our age, thus tending towards healthy ageing.

In order to know whether we have physiological or pathological ageing, we have to carry out a series of tests, in which we determine the biological age and the chronological age, so that if there is a discrepancy between one and the other, the patient will have pathological ageing, so that in this case anti-ageing medicine will obviously have a therapeutic role.

A series of biochemical and biophysical tests have to be performed on blood and urine, some with sophisticated equipment. specially designed to determine the patient's biological age and compare it with their chronological age. In this way, it is discovered whether the patient is physiologically ageing or, on the contrary, is suffering from pathological ageing. After the specific tests, the most effective personalised anti-ageing treatment is applied.

Improving activity with Anti-Ageing Medicine

The anti-ageing medicine applies a range of techniques to improve physical, mental and sexual activity.

Treatments such as ozone therapywith the revitalising effect of ozone, the regenerative medicine, The aim is to combine cells, biochemical and physico-chemical methods to repair, improve or replace, in whole or in part, damaged or missing tissues or organs, orthomolecular medicine or spagyric medicine, Bach flowers, Schüssler salts, cosmetic therapies are all methods that anti-ageing medicine uses to improve our activity.

And it is clear that improved physical activity supports improved sexual health through its preventive role in erectile dysfunction, a condition often associated with age or metabolic conditions such as diabetes.

Another certainty: physical activity reduces tension, anxiety, depression, and therefore stress, improving mental activity.

Some sports that are particularly suitable for improving the ageing process and that are more suitable for improving sex life include jogging or running outdoors, pilates or yoga, which also, when done as a couple, enhances the sexual relationship by boosting confidence, relaxation and fun.

Some of the things we can achieve with anti-ageing medicine are:

• Slow cell damage and increase cell repair and revitalisation.
• Balancing the psycho-neuro-immuno-endocrine axis.
• Improve skin elasticity and healing.
• Eliminate the negative effects of free radicals.
• Improve physical and sexual performance
• And on a mental level, it improves intellectual performance, a sense of well-being and relaxation, and the recovery of lost mental agility.

So take the plunge and get going - you can add more life to your years!
