It has all of the symptoms of a disease, and the only reason that it&#8217;s not classified as a disease is because everyone suffers it. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>So, how does it work? Cells are allocated to certain tasks within the body at birth. During life, they die off, and are replicated. It\u2019s during that process that the ageing occurs. The body needs to get rid of the dead cells (senescent cells), and the replication needs to be prefect. Often the reproduction is flawed, like photocopies of photocopies, and cells become less effective at their job.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The body also needs to rid itself of the senescent cells, and there is an effective process for doing that, called autophagy, which though our lifestyles we can either help, or hinder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now, the Dr Sinclair is talking about slowing and even reversing the ageing process.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The accumulation of senescent cells inhibits the body\u2019s ability to create good replicas of cells, which is why it\u2019s so important to get rid of them. More senescent cells equals faster ageing.<\/p>\n<p>The environment factors that influence our ability to produce healthy cells are exercise, diet, and supplements.<\/p>\n<p>Adversity builds strength. Our modern lifestyles protect us from hunger and cold. Without these adversities, our bodies become complacent, and less effective.<\/p>\n<p>Deficiencies in various vitamins will also accelerate the ageing process.<\/p>\n<p>The best people to teach you about this are the scientists, here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Science of Keeping the Brain Healthy | Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair #7\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XXtioWl9BWg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>And here:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dr. David Sinclair: The Biology of Slowing &amp; Reversing Aging | Huberman Lab Podcast #52\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/n9IxomBusuw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Read more:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lifespanpodcast.com\/the-science-of-keeping-the-brain-healthy\/\">The Science of Keeping the Brain Healthy<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/30104034\/\">Heart rate variability as a marker of healthy ageing<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aging-us.com\/article\/100742\/text\">The cerebellum ages slowly according to the epigenetic clock<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aging-us.com\/article\/101508\/text\">Epigenetic clock for skin and blood cells applied to Hutchinson Gilford Progeria Syndrome and ex vivo studies<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cell.com\/cell\/fulltext\/S0092-8674(08)01317-2\">SIRT1 Redistribution on Chromatin Promotes Genomic Stability but Alters Gene Expression during Aging<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/n.neurology.org\/content\/96\/24\/e2920\">Mediterranean Diet, Alzheimer Disease Biomarkers, and Brain Atrophy in Old Age<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.plos.org\/plosone\/article?id=10.1371\/journal.pone.0182048\">Mediterranean diet and cognitive health: Initial results from the Hellenic Longitudinal Investigation of Ageing and Diet<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archives-pmr.org\/article\/S0003-9993(13)00307-9\/fulltext\">Effects of Physical Exercise on Plasma Levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor and Depressive Symptoms in Elderly Women\u2014A Randomized Clinical Trial<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Age is a disease.
