How effective is anti-aging?
“Immortality” or “immortality and longevity” has been a long-standing dream of mankind along with flying, but even as science and technology have made remarkable progress and advanced into space, the mechanism of the human body may actually remain the greatest mystery and unknown territory.
Why does “aging” occur?
All living things, not just humans, live while metabolizing the cells that make up the body.
You maintain your youth by discarding old cells and replacing them with new cells, but as you get older, the frequency of this “replacement” work decreases, and old cells start to stay and “aging” begins.
It seems that no one will be able to stop this from kings, presidents, or any kind of millionaire, but humanity’s desire for “immortality” is insatiable.
Well, even if “immortality” is impossible, it may be possible to delay aging, so research is continuing at each institution.
One of them, an international joint team of researchers from Columbia University in the United States and the Technical University of Munich in Germany, recently published a report in a specialized journal, suggests that a substance called taurine, which is very similar to an amino acid, may be effective in preventing aging.
Taurine is abundant in seafood and meat, but it is also produced in the human body and is widely distributed in tissues throughout the body such as the heart, kidneys, and liver, as well as in body fluids such as bile and breast milk.
Its effects include strengthening liver function, recovering from fatigue, and reducing cholesterol, and is known to be added to energy drinks and baby formula.
In the experiment conducted by this research team, blood samples were collected from mice, rhesus monkeys, and humans, respectively, and as a result of analysis, it was confirmed that taurine in the body decreases with age.
In addition, a study in which rhesus monkeys were given taurine daily for six months compared to the group that did not receive it increased bone density and bone mass, restored liver function, and improved age-related decline.
When the same experiment was conducted on mice, the group that was administered showed that bone density and muscle strength increased, and their lifespan was extended.
As a result, it has become clear that taurine is involved in anti-aging, but its effect in the human body is unknown until it is verified in clinical experiments, so it is recommended that you do not overdose for the purpose of preventing aging.
He also said the findings may explain the correlation between exercise and health maintenance, or between exercise and anti-aging effects.
Is it safe to expect that the effect was observed in monkeys close to humans?
Taurine can be easily supplemented orally with meals or supplements, so if the effect on the human body is confirmed and the appropriate intake is known, anyone can try it immediately.
Amid concerns about population decline and future labor shortages, the government is blasting people to work until the age of 70, but whether you work or play, you need physical strength.
If you can’t see, your ears are far away, and your back hurts and you can’t move, you can’t talk.
If measures to delay aging and extend healthy life expectancy are established, the true “era of 100-year lifespans” may come for the first time.
