Since antiquity, the search for eternal youth have been one of the challenges and objectives of man throughout history, experimenting with magic potions, rituals and remedies. With the advent of science more practical solutions were sought, less ambitious than “live forever” and more short-term increase in life expectancy (delayed death) and improve the health and appearance.
What exactly is aging?
It is a continuous, gradual and acts independently, such as sensor neural aging is independent of aging of bone tissue, muscle, endocrine, the blood, etc. The aging process begins after 21 or 25 years, just after the end of the growth stage of an individual and from that moment the cells no longer reproduce
Age for various reasons. There are several theories that are not self-exclusive each other. One possible cause may lie at the ends of chromosomes, called telomeres. Human telomeres are programmed to be reduced by about 50-100 base pairs per cell division, when the total loss reaches many thousands of bases, the cells stop dividing and enter senescence. Somehow telomeres contain the “biological clock”. The older, the lower the telomeres of the chromosomes of cells. Cancer cells are considered immortal because they do not suffer reduction of telomeres. It is as if her biological clock had been deprogrammed. Another possible cause is the deterioration of cell membranes by free radical action on phospholipids on their structure, causing cell death. Free radicals are highly unstable molecules or atoms because at least one unpaired electron and react rapidly with other substances lost looking for that electron. 90% of free radicals produced in mitochondria, cellular organelles that act as power plants. During the process of obtaining energy, oxygen plays a key role and produces free radicals (O2-, H2O2 and OH) highly oxidative to various molecules and sub cellular structures. These radicals damage the membranes, proteins and DNA.
Oxygen, as fundamental element for the life of aerobic organisms (organisms that rely on oxygen metabolism) that without it life on our planet would be impossible, is also the cause of destruction. This is the great paradox. We grow old because we oxidized.
However, the body has natural mechanisms to defend against free radical toxicity: internal mechanisms mainly enzymatic (catalyses, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxides, etc.) that convert free radicals into nontoxic products, and on the other hand, mechanisms external, such as providing antioxidant molecules (vitamin A, E, C, Carotene, Selenium, Magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, Iron and bioflavonoid) from the diet, which neutralize the oxidizing effects of free radicals.
