Biomedical Anti-Aging Studies

The main plot to this book is successful ageing and longevity. We have always sought out a hidden key to anti aging. In Juan Ponce De Leon Florida 1513 there was a quest for the fountain of youth Buettner, D. (2008). Current time we seek out pills, diets, creams, and new trends. The trend for youth is here to stay, but is it the right trend?

The main definition of “aging successful” is said to be, “successful gaining includes three main components: low probability of disease and disease-related disability, high cognitive and physical functional capacity, and active engagement with life” (Rowe & Kahn, 433). The first component of low probability of disease-related disability does not only refer to the physical disease itself being present in the persons body, but also the severity of the risk of the factors of such disease(s). High cognitive and physical functional capacity depicts what the individual can do and not just what they do. Finally active engagement with life deals with how the individual interacts with others (interpersonal relations) and creating societal value without any return (productive activity) (Rowe & Kahn, 433). We are going to look into the lives of Roger Gentilehomme and Earl Blassingame and analyze if they are considered to be “aging well” based on variety of articles as well as personal opinion.

If you have finally decided that it is time to start taking proper care of your skin to help it stay young-looking longer, then you may think that a trip to the dermatologist is in order. The truth is that most anti-aging skincare products are available right at your local drug store and don't require a prescription or an office visit. Over-the-counter anti-aging products are also less expensive and often gentler on your skin than prescription anti-aging creams. Start using these three products today to preserve your youthful skin.

Humans are born already aging. There is know way to stop the process of getting older. As people age it is important that services and rescores are set up to

The humanity of aging is a concept sometimes hard to grasp. Understanding why we are

Society and medical care professionals are inundated with diseases that may have caused death 100 years ago or even 50 years ago. Advancements in science and technology is prolonging life expectancy for people. The National Institute of Aging focuses on health illness for the aging population and how research and studies can provide better quality of life for the extended years of life. The organization is sphere headed by two offices and division that are designed to address specific areas of the aging population. The offices work the divisions to help guide their focus for the he crucial research.

There are fears that the recent generation and their children’s generation will age less successfully than the current older one – no surprise given that, although rates of cigarette smoking are falling, more people are drinking heavily, only a minority of adults exercise often enough to maintain good health and obesity rates have greatly increased over the last 20 years.

If you have thin skin, then you must think twice before applying any chemical. You must choose a cream or serum that improves the texture of your skin and provide the required elasticity. Advanced anti-aging serums and creams are also helpful in repairing your damaged skin and protect it from harmful UV

The greater longevity and improved health seen at older ages in many parts of the world represent one of the crowning achievements of the last century, but also present a significant

A report published by the Orgainsation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) identifies lifespan as key societal wellness barometer. [1] The group is a forum created to improve financial, physical and mental wellbeing for all global citizens. [2] Through the organization, governments collaborate to improve the human condition. Using data gathered from various global sources, the group members make recommendations designed to improve humanity’s welfare. The research scope varies from high-level census data to detailed worldwide tax rates. Among these data, the organization recognizes remarkable improvements in human life expectancy over the last half century, which is now 80-years long. [1]

The fountain of youth has so far remained elusive to humanity, but modern scientific innovations have opened the door for realistic immortality, or at least a far extended lifespan. However, the means to create immortal people is burdened with moral and ethical controversy - do we want to be immortal? Humanity has much to gain from researching the extension of human life, but should work under limitations because although it offers people the chance to live healthier lives, the boundaries of social morality begin to fracture once immortality becomes possible.

In order to better understand aging-associated diseases, it is first necessary to define what aging is. Aging is a complex, multifactorial process of harmful mutations in cells and tissues that are accumulated over time and result in an increased risk of disease and, eventually, death (Tosato, Zamboni, Ferrini, & Cesari, 2007, p. 401). Contrary to the belief that aging can be cured through medical advances, it is scientifically accepted that, while human life expectancy has increased, the human life span has remained largely unchanged for the past 100,000 years (Tosato et al., p. 401). Therefore, future developments in aging research ought to focus on addressing treatment and prevention of major aging-associated diseases that will

Like the very definition of success, successful aging means many different things to different people. While the subject of successful and vital aging can be inspiring and empowering, it undoubtedly requires flexibility and adaptation in response to changes in health and functioning that are quite common as individuals inevitably age. Through formulated theories and suppositions proposed throughout decades in gerontological studies, many agree upon consistencies that exist across chronological aging. However, there are many more individual paths and much heterogeneity among older adults. As a result, gerontologists in the years have incorporated issues such as privileges or disadvantage across the lifespan to better attempt to address some of the diversity among older adults to foster optimal or successful aging.

Humanity has come a long way as we evolve and adapt to the changing environment. Through the years, we have managed to overcome several limitations, which in the past were nothing more than dreams. We succeeded in landing on the moon and communicating over long distance, yet there are still some boundaries we have yet to cross despite our best effort. Aging is an inevitable process of nature. While we cannot stop the ticking clock in our body, we have made it possible for aging to be delayed and relieved to a great extent through advance technology and modern governance. High-tech equipments and medications are available for the treatments of more illnesses as our understanding of medicine improves and governments nowadays are doing

In Health and Aging, it was discussed that optimal aging is what all of older adults should try to achieve, instead of successful aging. Using the term successful aging is too exclusive because it makes individual feel that they only have two choices, to succeed or to fail, indicating a possible path of failing. We have to account of everyone individuality and that not everyone can mentally and physically be fully engaged in life due to limitations of disease or disability. Optimal aging enables the opportunity to include illnesses and disabilities, letting individuals know that they all have the capacity to adapt to changes accumulated in their lives. Furthermore, with optimal aging, individuals can take action like developing healthy lifestyles earlier in their life trajectory to prevent or postpone chronic diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis, obesity, and respiratory disease. Those actions include exercising regularly, sustaining a healthy diet, limiting the usages tobacco and alcohol, and maintaining regular visit to the family physicians. If individuals are not proactive toward their physical, mental and social health then negative consequences can appear later in their lives. I believe that we are doing a good job of raising awareness for problems that can be preventable. For diseases that are not preventable like Alzheimer's Disease, we are doing better than the last century by
