Harvard scientists have succeeded in reversing aging – in mice, for now. For humans, such a “holy grail” still seems decades away. Even though, why wait for that scientific breakthrough. One can reverse aging already today. By cleaning up your life.
An old dream of mankind may become reality: reverse aging. For now, the anti-aging remedies are creams, diets, surgery, all kinds of treatments and medical supplements.
Now that Harvard scientists have cracked the code of aging, is the fountain of youth within reach?
Until today, science assumed that aging is a problem with the hardware, the DNA. But the Harvard breakthrough realizes it’s not the DNA, it’s the “software” running the DNA.
What causes aging
Aging comes down to epigenetics, the Harvard study says, meaning that your behavior and environment can cause changes that affect the way your genes work. Aging, therefore, is affected by factors such as inflammation, stress, sleep, smoking. If we control such factors, if we “reprogram,” we can reverse aging.
Apparently there is a backup copy, a kind of software reset, inside all of us. Just like restoring a computer to factory settings, resetting the DNA would reset the body clock to when we were younger.
The Harvard scientists go so far as to proclaim that they have unlocked the secret of what causes aging – and that it’s reversible. Changing the biological clock, of course, could open a can of worms. If the body reverses aging, what about the brain?
Key to reverse aging
How to make sure the reset occurs everywhere in all tissues and cells? Any imbalance could be very dangerous, causing cancer, organ failure or all kinds of metabolic and hormonal disorders.
In fact, we can reverse aging today, without waiting for illusionary scientific discoveries. How? By cleaning up our life.
The key to reverse aging is… our behavior. Taking healthy living seriously, that’s how to stay young. We clean up our act. We hydrate, we exercise, we eat wholesome food and stay positive. All of that changes the software and resets age day by day.
