  1. Free Radical
    • Like how a metal become rusted, or oxidized, an unstable molecule can target and attack our cells in our body to the depth of DNA causing cells damage which is believe one of the many causes of various diseases and of course aging!
  2. Inflammation
    • Once which is believed to be one of process of a healthy immune system is now being pin point and consider one of the major player for causing various diseases and promoting aging at the same time. Of course we are not talking about an acute inflammation but instead a long standing one or otherwise being defined as an chronic inflammation.
  3. Glycation
    • Basically too much sugar can promote aging. Sugar can mix with protein and fats leading to Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) are able to accelerate the aging process by churning out free radicals and promoting inflammation.
  4. Stress
    • Here we are taking stress seriously pin pointing out the stress hormone in our body which actually increase our pulse rate and blood pressure which can also promote chronic inflammation and even worse affect our brain tissue at the hippocampus affecting our long term memory functions.

So since now that you understand the process of aging and the reaction in our body that actually promote aging then I guess delaying aging is not that hard isn’t it? All you have to do is
  • Put yourself up on an anti-oxidant diet
  • Don’t forget the anti-inflammatory diet
  • Eat less sugar

  • Rest and exercise more


Yes indeed you could, there are many books or articles in the internet these days which will be able to teach you what antioxidant or anti-inflammatory food or supplement to eat to stay younger and healthier.. That is if you already knew these earlier and had been keeping yourself healthy with all these knowledge.

How about those who already gone through all the aging process leading to various tissues damage in the body and only get to know all these now? Is it too late for them? Of course not, other than all these ‘keeping yourself healthy’ knowledge, you should know keep yourself updated of the recent Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) as well!



Mesenchymal Stem Cells

This is a multipotent stromal cells that is able to differentiate into various cell types. In other word, it is a very primitive cell that has the capability to differentiate in any other cells to help in tissue repair and regeneration. With this it is possible to repair or regenerate any tissue which is already being damage or severe due to the process of aging.
