"अजून यौवनात मी - Anti-aging medicine"

वृध्दापकाळ कुणालाच नको असतो.प्रत्येकालाच

"अजून यौवनात मी" असे नुसते म्हणायलाच नव्हे तर तसे जगायला देखील आवडते.कसे जमवायचे हे ? वाचा तर मग क्रमश: ! आधी वृध्दावस्था म्हणजे काय ? ती का येते ? हे पाहू या.मग ती टाळायची कशी ते पाहू या.

1.The prestigious scientific journal, Biogerontology, defines aging as: “The progressive failing ability of the body's own intrinsic and genetic powers to defend, maintain and repair itself in order to keep working efficiently.”

2.Aging has been believed to be inherent,universal,progressive natural phenomenon.

3.Today's healthcare challenges and tomorrow's opportunity can only be met by those who search out deeper explanations of the body processes that generate health and disease.

4.Life expectancy has increased due to advances in medical science. However it has come with little progress towards quality of life or the length of disease-free years in the majority of population.

5.Most researchers believe that maximum life span in human is slightly over 110 years. Beyond that age, the estimates and speculation enter the realms of science fiction.

6.Old age is the most unexpected of all things that happens to man - Leon Trotsky.

7.Aging has been a fact of life ever since it was created.

8.Human beings go through various phases of life from being child to youth to being adult with youth being the best part of life from health point of view.

9.Good health, strong muscles, an efficient immune system, a sharp memory and a healthy brain are characteristic of ideal youth.

10.The hormones work at their peak capacity during the youth years.

11.Anti-Aging medicine aims to maintain or achieve this irrespective of chronological age i.e. to stay healthy and biologically efficient.

12.We are now living in the information age.Medical knowledge is increasing at an amazing rate-doubling every three years.This doubling rate of information is progressively decreasing.The world is changing and so is the way we view our health and well being as we age.It is detrimental with no benefits except perhaps wisdom.

13.There is a paradigm shift in looking at the aging process based on firmly documented evidence in medical and scientific literature.If we plot the health in y-axis and the number of years in x-axis, the curve of life is like a triangle which is skewed with its apex at 25-30 years.Anti-aging helps to make it rectangle.

14.Many natural aging mechanisms frequently result in actual diseases.

15.Fighting an aging process may well bring about an improvement of an age related illness.

16.Ayurveda prescribes plants or their components and extracts to fight against illness.Nature created these plant chemicals to help them protect against diseases or aging. Humans have later adapted these chemicals for their own use to increase their chances of maintaining their health.

17.Anti-aging medicine is an evolving branch of medical science and applied medicine. It treats the underlying causes of aging and aims at alleviating any age related ailment. Its goal is to extend the healthy lifespan of humans having youthful characteristics.Conventional and alternative medical disciplines are used in an integrated approach to achieve the best possible result for the patient. It is a holistic discipline, seeing the patient as a whole and not as someone having an isolated disease.

18.Those physicians interested in studying age related medicine can do so by attending courses offered by various organization across the globe with predominant being The American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine or A4M. It is not yet formally accredited by the American Medical Association. Some scientists and physicians take offense at the name Anti-Aging as they think it is unscientific. They have suggested terms such as Age Management Medicine, Advanced Preventive Medicine, Interventive Biogerontology. But the underlying principles remain the same.

19..Aging is a progressive failure of metabolic processes.

20.There is a concept of "pause" as put forth by Dr. Eric Braverman indicating that every organ ages at a different rate.To a certain extent it is based on hormones.
