Medicine ‘anti-aging’ or scientific monitoring programs of aging is to control external factors such as stress, sun, snuff, alcohol or malnutrition.

These constraints accelerate aging and to exert control over them is done to slow down and mitigate “inevitable natural process‘, as he explained the medical director of Sotogrande Health Experience, Manuel J. Castillo Garzón, under the FIBELL Congress 2008 to be held in the Euskalduna Bilbao.

The expert recalled how “it is striking that some people appear to age very quickly and be older than they are, while others do not think time passes by them and appear younger.” “These people,” he added are well physically and mentally, are better preserved both external appearance and in its internal operation. ”

The enemies of youth
Castillo said the conventional wisdom attributes this gift to your genes, ‘but the truth is that only represent 25 percent of longevity’ and the rest is due to external causes, ‘which draws more than one bad life stress, snuff, alcohol, pollution, solar radiation, poor diet ‘.
As noted, ‘the enemies are numerous and attack where it hurts’ cellular oxidation, the main cause of aging. To reduce its effect, he explained, “anti-aging medicine has been born or ‘anti-aging’, which are increasingly targeting people as a way to improve their quality of life and anticipate the potential occurrence of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or cancer. ”

The specialist said that the slowdown or acceleration of aging depends in part on the constitution of the person, but, above all, is linked to a number of factors external to the person on which you can influence, either in sense positive (for age less) or negative (for aging more) ‘.
The expert said that “today these factors have been identified and means are provided to enhance the effects of some and mitigate others’. As stated, anti-aging medicine is ‘primarily a preventative medicine that seeks to slow the biological aging process’.

The results
In this regard, he stressed that ‘the result of these actions is a rejuvenation that feels, because it shows the subject who submits to the activity, and is, because they appreciate others’. The package focuses, he said, “in various programs of anti-aging medicine or scientific control of aging that begins with a thorough study of the health and functional ability that lets you know what situation is part ‘.
Castillo said the purpose of these programs is ‘counter cell oxidation, for early detection, prevention and correction of age-related diseases’. For anti-aging medicine, he added, the key lies in free radicals, ‘as it is shown that an increase in the production of these molecules accelerates the body’s physiological wear’.

Finally, he stressed that allows antiaging medicine ‘anticipating the future and reduce the risk of diseases such as arteriosclerosis or stroke depending on the individual’s genetic predisposition’. She stated that ‘if no lipid markers are within normal, the patient is more likely, for example, to suffer in the future type neuronal degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
