The first anti-aging products have been created

People age at different rates because of the different lifestyle and genetics. Recently we found out that people aging more quickly, are at increased risk of developing age-related diseases such as heart disease, multiple sclerosis and cancer. The researchers believe that the age depends on changes of the human chromosomes, called telomeres. It is quite possible that the telomere holds the key to rejuvenation therapy.

It is known that our cells can samovosproizvestis several times, and then begin to degrade. As a result, the telomeres are shortened, which is reflected in the strands of DNA stored in the cell nucleus.

All of us are born with telomeres of different lengths, so they are shortened at different speeds. If we measure our "biological age", we see that some 90-year-olds do not differ from the 80-year-olds. As a result, research scientists were able to identify at least seven genetic factors that affect telomere length and are directly related to specific diseases.

Dr. Preston Estep, a specialist in the field of genetics and aging man explains that telomerase - enzymes encoded in the genes - make longer telomeres. This means that it is possible to create a drug which will contain this enzyme, and which can be taken as a dietary food supplements. Activators of telomerase have tested, but how effective they will be able to say with certainty later. In addition, people with shorter telomeres still necessary to reduce the risk factors - a healthy lifestyle and eat right.
