"Our goal is to 'die healthy' " Joe
Chang
To extend your healthspan and
stay youthful and
vibrant as you age, you must affect aging
processes where genes operate, at the cellular
level. Dr.
Joe Chang discusses the application of gene expression research to
changing aging.
Gerontology scientist, S. Jay
Olshansky contended that 'Once you avoid the things that accelerate
aging like smoking, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and
excessive sun exposure, you've done about as much as you can to
influence your aging process.'
We now know that this is not so. Dr. Chang, author of The Aging Myth, explains the key biological
roles that epigenetics plays to construct the person we become and
influences our aging.
We discuss how the different rates,
time and intensity of aging phenomena in different tissues may be influenced by
external factors, such as the impact of smoking on the
lungs. The efficiency of mitochondrial energy
production versus free radical release is altered with age as is
the efficiency of autophagy, (cellular cleansing). These processes
can be enhanced through epigenetic supplements. We discuss the importance of supplying
optimal prebiotics to the gut
microbiome.
