Many consider ageing to be a natural process, but more and more scientists, researchers and physicians see it as a disease.

The only difference between the disease of ageing and other diseases is that ageing affects all men and women.

Anti-ageing medicine

The anti-ageing medicine is the stimulation and the addition of "natural" human elements to help ensure that the body is able to repair and regenerate itself, using the same chemicals it relies on on a day-to-day basis, but making them more available in older age.

In short, anti-ageing medicine is the supplementation of the body's needs as we age, to help it continue to function as well as it did when we were in our 20s. Nobel laureate L Pauling called it orthomolecular medicine.

Healthy ageing and longevity

Growing older can be accompanied by a wide range of health changes. But we can take action to maintain good health and reduce the risks of disease.

Exercise, good nutrition, regular health check-ups, getting enough sleep and engaging in enjoyable activities are just some of the ways to achieve healthy ageing.

By investigating deep inside cells into what causes ageing to test the effects of healthy behaviours or other approaches, we have uncovered some secrets to ageing well. While the chances of discovering a magic pill or potion to fight all the effects of ageing may be small, scientists believe that today's research will lead to the interventions that will give us a longer, healthier life tomorrow.

Determine the biological age of the patient

Determining the biological age of the patient and comparing it with the chronological age of the patient is the most important thing. in anti-ageing medicine. In this way, it is discovered whether one is physiologically ageing or, on the contrary, suffering from pathological ageing. After specific biochemical and biophysical tests on blood and urine and some with sophisticated equipment, the most effective personalised anti-ageing treatment is applied to the individual.

Natural anti-ageing treatments and techniques

Once the results are obtained, one of the following treatments is prescribed:

• Prevention of ageing
• Anti-ageing therapy
• Detoxification programme
• Anti-stress programme

Once again, we emphasise that at Biosalud the natural anti-ageing treatments are fully customised

New trends in anti-ageing medicine

Ageing, role of the mitochondria

One aspect of ageing that is currently attracting a great deal of interest is the mitochondria - the tiny "power plants" - found in each individual cell.

They produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) - the universal energy molecule that our bodies use for every function.

They also help produce a chemical called pregnenolone which is the starting material for all the neurosteroids and sterones in our body.

As can be seen, these tiny mitochondria have a very important job to do, but they are easily damaged. And as the mitochondria are damaged, the organ they support is damaged as well.

It is therefore important to help prevent this damage from occurring.

Ribonucleic acid replacement therapy

Each organ contains ribonucleic acids (RNA) that help organ repair and regeneration. Each organ appears to have a different set of ribonucleic acids to carry out its particular function. As such, ribonucleic acid replacement therapy has proven to be useful, especially for older people. both in terms of improving their well-being and the capacities of their organs

The good news is that laboratory experiments have shown, for example, that liver samples from young and old people function almost identically when given the same correct environmental conditions.

In other words, optimal nutrition through the simulation of bodily chemical processes, in terms of hormones, vitamins and amino acids, etc., benefits the ageing process to a much greater degree than imagined.

Ageing of the brain

One of the main areas of concern in ageing is the brain. This central command organ is perhaps the most overlooked in terms of nutrition.

Your doctor may be able to suggest a diet for your heart or kidneys, but what about your brain and memory? This is compounded by the fact that the brain contains a unique protective sheath.

This barrier is an obstacle for many dietary supplements to pass through, but its presence is unquestionable. Unlike other organs, the brain does not have the capacity to renew its cells; once they die, they are gone.

Protecting and improving brain function has become one of the cornerstones of anti-ageing medicine.

Ageing and anti-oxidants

The major scientific breakthroughs in combating the ageing process are likely to be in altering or stabilising DNA.

There are already a number of leading geneticists studying the DNA strain specifically to investigate the changes that occur in ageing.

It seems that the telomeres that attach to the chromosomes in the DNA coiled coil are shortened due to their inability to reproduce themselves accurately every time it repairs itself. With this comes a call to other organs, for example a reduction in the production of thyroid hormones.

Dr. Kleinsek, a leading geneticist in the field of anti-ageing, has discovered that the correct reintroduction of thyroid hormone (for example) will help repair the telomeres responsible for the thyroid to their original, correct structure.

In other words, this is a two-way street: it appears that telomeres can be repaired even if damage has already occurred. What we need to do therefore is to take a blood test, examine the DNA structure, see what specific damage has occurred in that person and then reintroduce the correct and precise hormones to repair this damage.

We understand many of the changes and some of the principles of the ageing process. This indicates that major advances are just around the corner. It is generally thought within medicine that the current generation will witness these advances.
