How to slow down the aging process One of the first theories about the life expectancy was formulated in 1908 and was called "energy theory of aging". The gist of it was based on the life expectancy of body weight with the following pattern – the more weight, so life is longer. To increase life expectancy was considered necessary to exercise a minimum of physical activity. Later the theory was untenable.

Has formulated some basic scientific theories of aging, based on which MirSovetov give advice to those who want to prolong youthfulness of his body. Take antioxidants Scientists have found that in the process of life and as a result of the consumption of oxygen in the body are formed special molecules that are known as free radicals or peroxides. Hence the name of the theory – "theory of free radicals. These molecules have high activity in combination with other molecules and cause oxidation of organic molecules. This leads to disruption of the cell, it loses its normal function and healthy tissue is altered. Typically, oxidation by free radicals occurs during the inflammatory process. Normally, the body has antioxidant system, which detects and destroys the molecules of the radicals. But with age are more and more intensified, and the protective system of man ceases to deal with them. However, the level of antioxidants can be controlled through dieting and add to the diet products or products containing antioxidants. The essence of power, slows aging, primarily, is to replace animal fats with vegetable, since they contain natural antioxidants. These are the ascorbic and succinic acids, vitamin E, B vitamins, trace elements zinc and selenium. Can also take a multivitamin supplement containing these substances in pure form. The use of antioxidants can help slow the aging process. Lowers cholesterol with age body tissues lose their elasticity. This is because of the bridges or the so-called cross-linkage between the protein molecules. Such age-related changes are most pronounced in the connective tissue, blood vessels and muscles. The theory considers the process of aging through the accumulation of cholesterol, called "aging of the crosslinks. The people they are called "cholesteric plaques. The main idea of this theory lies in the fact that the cause of aging lies in atherosclerosis. Slow down the process of atherosclerosis, can increase the duration of life and prolong youth. That is why MirSovetov recommends observing the following simple rules: • Adhere to proper nutrition. The main part of the diet should be fish, poultry, vegetable oil, large quantities of fruits and vegetables, as fiber prevents the absorption of cholesterol. At the same time reduce the consumption of animal fats (lard, fatty meat, butter, cream), eggs, salt, coffee, sugar, flour; • Give up smoking and other bad habits. Interestingly, the alcohol helps cleanse blood vessels from cholesterol, but it must be remembered about the strong negative impact on other human organs (dehydration, at least); • Maintain an active life – sports, or at least charge in the morning at times reduces the level of accumulation of cholesterol in the body . Do not worry Russian scientists have developed a theory called "regulatory theory of aging". She said that all vital functions are regulated by two systems – endocrine (responsible for hormone production), and nervous. Moreover, these systems are very thin intertwined. Their job causes the accumulation of higher regulatory authority substance that prevents aging – L-DOPA. The development will depend on the equilibrium state of the nervous system, affecting the hormones rights. Put simply, to slow the aging process should be as much as possible to be in a good mood! Therefore, the withdrawal of application of the theory was the idea that old age will help push the state of antidepressants. There are a number of products containing natural anti-depressant – amino acid tryptophan. These include dairy products, meat, chicken and turkey, cereals, eggs, soy.To relieve stress and depressed, you can use herbs such as St. John's wort, peppermint, balm, as well as "velvet beans, containing a large quantity of the substance L-DOPA. Sunlight regulates the active state of the nervous system. Its absence in sufficient quantity (eg, winter) causes depression. But apart from that, when applied to the shell eyes, sunlight stimulates the secretion of the hormone melatonin which slows down the aging process. Go for a walk in the freezing cold today, scientists are actively developing the theory of aging-related accumulation of mutations in the human body. They can be caused by viruses that live in cells, radiation, radiation and so on. Many diseases encountered in the mutations are inherited and passed on from generation to generation. Treatment of such diseases is possible with the help of genetic engineering. However, there is a preventive way to slow aging by reducing metabolic rate. This is achieved by decreasing temperature. Not in vain northern women are much longer retain a young and flourishing appearance in contrast to women living in hot countries. It remains to add that in reality there are more than 300 hypotheses and theories of aging. In this article, were given the wealthiest and most popular of them. However, summing up, MirSovetov would like to give a general advice – watch your health, eat well, exercise and love life. Because today's health – is, first of all, life capital.
