As we age, our bodies start to slow down and succumb to the inevitable effects of gravity. Our health becomes priceless, and we spend the rest of our lives searching for that medicinal pill or magic potion that promises to preserve it.
To help us better understand the importance of health and its effect on us as we age, the National Center for Health Statistics published findings that show the chances of suffering from one of the major chronic diseases: Arthritis, Diabetes, Cancer and Heart Disease, exponentially increases with age.
Aging and Disease
The Aging Process - 4 Key Factors
But what is Aging? Scientists today believe there are 4 Key Factors in the Aging Process. They are:
1. Free Radicals
2. Methylation
3. Glycation
4. Hormones
As cellular waste and environmental toxins build up, Free Radicals damage our DNA. This damage prevents the Methylation of homocysteine and greatly reduces biological efficiency.
As metabolism slows down, the stress Hormone cortisol increases blood sugar and the resulting Glycation produces weak connection tissue, inflammation and disease.
