The causes of aging and anti-aging human methods: genetic, environmental, lifestyle and disease

People aging from 25 years of age began, the causes of aging people:
mainly the growth of pituitary HGH secretion decline, usually after
age 25, the annual decline 1OO - 200 range, depending on each person's
situation is different, in fact, what physical phenomenon it? The most
obvious is the body fat gradually up, eat less fat will have gathered,
especially in the abdomen and hip fat is difficult to control,
followed by significantly increased and deepened the skin such as
wrinkles, while skin began to relax. Loss of youthful elasticity and
gloss, easy fatigue, energy, appetite and so on.
(A) The four major theories of aging mechanisms

1, the genetic theory

Any creature in accordance with the "birth, growth, maturation, aging
and death," has completed the five stages of the life of the whole
process of production. Genetic theory that this law is the biological
"internal" attribute is in vivo a "biological clock" program under the
control of the process.

The human body has a genetic clock to dominate life, through certain
control channels to dominate the whole DNA (DNA) structure, then
dominated cell division, growth, metabolism, and the whole process of
life. Some scholars have found limited cell division in that length of
life for the number of times on cell division and split times and
more, long life. Some scholars have pointed telomere theory, the
telomere is distributed in the structure of chromosome ends, protect
chromosomes, genes to prevent the loss of chromosome ends. Human
growth and development, the cells keep dividing, telomeric while the
division is not completely reduce the phenomenon of chromosomal DNA
once per division, telomeric to shorten a length, when the short to a
limit the propagation of cells can no longer remain be.

Strong vitality of cancer cells than normal, because it is an
alienation of cells with normal human cells without telomerase,
telomerase can protect cancer cells after the division of genetic
material in the (DNA) from losses, which have infinite endless
reproduction, tumor formation. Ganoderma lucidum Ganoderma lucidum
acid and some enzymes and other ingredients can be destructive to
telomerase, thus controlling the growth rate and number of cancer
cells.

2, the free radical theory

Free radical is a unpaired electron atoms, groups or molecules, it is
accompanied by metabolic processes in the body continue to produce,
the body of free radicals can capture an electron leaving other
material oxidation, free radical oxidation is extremely capacity. Free
radicals can damage cell membranes and cell aging and death. With cell
proteins, nucleic acids, DNA interactions, resulting in chromosomal
aberrations, cell mutations, leading to cancer. Allows the body
cross-linking of collagen degeneration, osteoporosis, wrinkled skin,
body aging.

There the body's own free radical scavenging systems, such as low
molecular weight compounds (vitamin A, C, β-carotene) and enzymes like
superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), catalase
(CTA), they can clear the body of excess free radicals, maintaining
free radical homeostasis. With the elderly, the removal system
dysfunction, free radicals, boosting the body's aging changes.

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can significantly increase
superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, significantly removed the body of
free radicals and prevent free radical damage to the body, retard
aging and protect cells produce a variety of diseases, to prevent the
occurrence of mutations in normal cells into tumor cells.

Ganoderma lucidum can be enriched in organic germanium, selenium, have
anti-cancer effect and anti-aging effect.

3, decreased immune function theory

Human immune system is one of the main control system, mainly the
thymus, bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes of the body composition.
Secretion of thymosin thymus, manufacturing T lymphocytes, responsible
for cellular immunity, the secretion of B lymphocytes in the bone
marrow, the formation of antibodies, causing an effective immune
response. Immune system is immune surveillance, immune homeostasis and
immune defense. People to middle age, decreased immune function,
vulnerability, susceptibility to cancer, prone to cause autoimmune
disease, aging and death caused by the body.

Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides, Hericium erinaceus polysaccharide
could significantly improve the immune function and enhance macrophage
phagocytosis, enhanced natural killer cell (NK cell) activity,
lymphocyte stimulating the release of a variety of immune factors,
disease, cancer , anti-aging.

4, TCM kidney theory

(1) a wide range of renal function, kidney function alone is far from
over. Such as: "The kidney is the innate, biological source. Kidney
essence, have kidney kidney essence." "Kidneys bone, marrow, through
the brain," "kidney by the Chinese in the hair, kidney opens into the
ear" "Kidneys water, the waters are born kidney." Fully visible, the
physiological functions of kidney, penetrate into the urinary,
reproductive, metabolic, endocrine, central nervous each system, and
guide the system to adapt to changes in the age of the program
operation.

(2) the nature of kidney involve a number of theories of aging. Free
radicals in human memory in kidney damage, kidney of the human body
immune dysfunction. There is also the person kidney neuroendocrine
dysfunction.

Visible, kidney substance doctrine involves free radical damage,
decreased immune function and neuroendocrine dysfunction theory and
other theories on the mechanism of aging.

Ganoderma lucidum is the food of ancient medicine, is considered to be
back to life, longevity of the "immortality." "Compendium of Materia
Medica" that Ganoderma "Lord deafness, Lee joints, health care, Yixin
gas, fill in, by wisdom, Yijing gas, strong bones, good color, virtual
TB treatment, the old sickness Jiufu not commit suicide."

(B) the direct cause of human aging

The direct cause of human aging depends on three aspects: 1, 2 genetic
factors, environmental factors 3, lifestyle and disease.

The maximum limit of the natural life of mankind (100 ~ 120 years) is
determined by the genes to live to the highest limits of natural life,
genetic factors play a role. Environmental factors including natural
and social environment, the two are complementary. The key factors
affect the life of lifestyle and disease. Another two are
interrelated, cancer, heart disease and cerebrovascular diseases have
become three of the three human killer. A large number of studies have
shown that these three diseases and hypertension, hyperlipidemia,
obesity, diabetes and other closely related. Are considered more a
result of disease, a common disease risk factors.


Regulating anti-aging diet
40 years old, the physical strength, energy deteriorates, many
diseases occur in this period or is laying the seeds. However,
functional decline is not terrible middle-aged, middle-aged people to
understand this period as long as the physiological and psychological
characteristics, know how to care and pay attention to good health,
can slow down the aging and longevity. Here to introduce you to some
common health food production methods, may wish to try it!

Studies have shown that eating dark chocolate can be anti-aging Zurich
University School of Medicine and the University of California, the
latest research shows that dark chocolate can significantly improve
endothelial function, and vascular endothelial damage and dysfunction
is the development of atherosclerosis, part of the initiating . This
is the recent "Chocolate, Chocolate 7 reasons like" activity,
nutrition experts described.

Institute of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, said
Dr. Chang Qing Cui, chocolate contains calcium, phosphorus, magnesium,
iron, zinc, copper and other minerals beneficial to human body. Known
as flavonoids, polyphenols are the core health component of chocolate.
Polyphenolic compounds with antioxidant activity. It can inhibit the
oxidation of LDL cholesterol (LDL cholesterol, the "bad cholesterol"
is the blood of "impurity" that can cause atherosclerosis, coronary
heart disease and myocardial infarction and other diseases.) Oxidative
damage leading to many chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular
disease, cancer and aging of the important reasons. Antioxidant
polyphenols may play a preventive role for these chronic diseases.

For many people concerned about "eating chocolate will not cause
obesity" problem, Dr. Chang said: "a piece of about 47 grams of
chocolate per person per day 10% of the total energy, energy balance
in healthy condition, eating Chocolate does not cause obesity. 95% of
obese people is due to excessive eating and lack of exercise-induced,
that is, energy intake exceeds energy consumption, so that excess
energy in the body as body fat storage. "In order to maintain stable
body weight, experts recommend regular exercise to help maintain
energy balance, that is, energy intake equals energy consumed.

Chocolate for athletes and people who participate in physical
activity, growth and development stages in children and adolescents,
people with low food intake, heavy physical work the crowd, the crowd
did not have time eating food and aerospace workers.
