What is Anti-Aging Medicine?

Anti-aging medicine treats the underlying causes of aging with the aim of alleviating any age related ailment. It is an evolving branch of medical science and applied medicine. The goal of anti-aging medicine is to extend the healthy lifespan of humans having youthful characteristics. According to researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health, following the anti-aging lifestyle can add up to 25.3 more years to their lifespan. Anti-aging medicine involves seeing the patient as a whole and not as someone having an isolated disease, a holistic approach.

What Causes Aging?

Aging is a progressive failure of metabolic processes. Dr. Eric Braverman has proposed the concept that every organ ages at a different rate and to a certain extent it is based on hormones. All these have been put forth into various theories as follows:

1. Free Radical Theory
2. The Neuroendocrine Theory
3. Telomerase Theory of Aging
4. The Wear and Tear Theory
5. The Rate of Living Theory
6. The Waste Product Accumulation Theory
7. The Cross-linking Theory
8. The Immune Theory
9. Theories of Errors and Repairs
10. The Order to Disorder Theory

While some of these theories do contradict & overlap each other, the underlying three main biochemical processes involved in aging are oxidation, glycation and methylation. In addition, other relevant processes involved in aging are chronic inflammation and hormonal deregulation.
