We know from the oldest documented human records, the human lifespan is 126 years of age. We also know that the current average human life expectancy is 76 years of age. Why does the human age range vary so much? It really based on your genes, or your DNA.
In other words, you age depends not on the earth circling the sun each year, but on how well your DNA works within the environment you have created for it. Genes don’t change, their expression does, and this outward physiological and observable expression of age, collectively known as a phenotype, can be altered by a number of variables, including modifiable factors, such as diet, risk-taking lifestyle, and environment. What are the modifiable factors of aging? There are 3 main areas we need to focus on.
The first is DNA and cellular functioning, from the genes that you are born with to the cellular machines like the mitochondria, all have a limited time of use and then succumb to apoptosis or cellular death. The connection of telomere and teleomerase have an integral action to play in controlling apoptosis. The telomere controls how fast your cells divide and thus age. Telomeres can be given new life and kept healthy with the enzyme telomerase! Did you know your telomerase levels can be increased by reducing environmental toxins and adding vital nutrients and anti-oxidants to your diet.
The second area is organ system integration, which involve many complex areas, including endocrine system, immune system, digestive system, and the central nervous system. The organ systems are interconnected with a variety of neural connections and hormonal feedback loops.
The last area, is total body and mind homeostasis, or a strengthening of the mind and body and their unique relationship to the external environment. Standing on a vista in the Rockies, viewing a snowy horizon creates less stress than walking the streets of Manhattan on a busy afternoon. We need to know how to manage stress and what works best for us. These separate, but interrelated areas are all modified by comprehensive and complete nutrition, moderate and constant physical activity and relaxing meditation or intentional internal stress reduction.
The latest studies tell us DNA is affected on a microscopic level by many chemical processes. Glycation (too much sugar in the diet), inflammation (too much antibody production), oxidation (too many oxygen free radicals), and methylation, (protein alteration). These are chemical reactions that occur to the DNA by the activities that cause an aging phenotype; alcohol consumption, obesity, smoking and excessive sun exposure. We grow until age 40 and decline to age 80; therefore, we have to slow the aging process down to stay healthy and keep vitality. It can be done!
People around the world, best known as the island people of Pacific Okinawa and Mediterranean Sardinia along with the mountain people of the Caucasian region of Russia all show dramatic longevity and vitality. This is part lifestyle, diet and genetic variance. So what do you do to maximize your health and increase your longevity? We suggest you learn more about yourself and have the following tests performed by a licensed Hall Longevity Clinic health care provider.
Basic blood work (red blood cells, iron levels, white blood cells, platelets, kidney function, liver function, etc.)
Hormonal screening (thyroid, testosterone, adrenal, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, etc.)
Cholesterol and lipoprotein screening
Food allergy testing
Micro-nutrient assay
Telomere age testing
T Bar screening
Thank your for your interest.
