Welcome to Extending Human Life. Currently, the only (non-transgenic) method of increasing maximum life span that is recognized by biogerontologists is calorie restriction with adequate nutrition. Most biomedical gerontologists believe that biomedical molecular engineering will eventually extend maximum lifespan and even bring about rejuvenation.

While most aging researchers are rather cautious, fearing a vitalist public backlash, one theoretical gerontologist not shy of expressing opinions on the extension of human lifespan is Aubrey de Grey. His theoretical project to reverse the damage called aging is called SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence). Dr. de Grey has established The Methuselah Mouse Prize to award money to researchers who can extend the maximum life span of mice.

Another proponent of extending human life is Ray Kurzweil. We have been reading Mr. Kurzweil’s books for the last decade, and they are well worth the time spent reading. Extending Human Life tracks the migration of humans as they take more control of their own human biology. Thank you for visiting and supporting Extending Human Life.

Making An Antiaging Diet A Part Of Your Life

Posted by admin on Sep 5th, 2010 | 0 comments

It’s no secret that proper diet – one rich in whole foods that deliver essential vitamins and minerals – has been shown to battle everything from cancer to the common cold. And for those eager to achieve and maintain good health, a balanced, nutritious diet is just part of the equation. But -as many may not realize – diet also plays a significant role in the aging process. Subsequently, a comprehensive and consistent antiaging diet can allow you to live a longer, much healthier life.

Life expectancy has certainly increased throughout the centuries, due in part to advances in medicine and technology. But, as researchers learn more and more about the effects of certain foods on the body, we, as consumers, have followed suit – integrating healthier choices into our lives while minimizing or even eliminating less healthy foods. An antiaging diet makes use of the best in the foods available to use while avoiding those foods that work against the natural processes of our bodies.

The human body relies on billions and billions of tiny cells that work together to perform all the functions we take for granted. Cells – like stars in the sky – die; and in their place new cells are formed. We have a direct impact on the health of these new cells. Cells that are exposed to poor diet, chemicals, environmental pollutants, and so forth, are compromised and tend to be weaker than their previous counterparts. These unhealthy cells can easily fall victim to free radicals – unstable molecules in the body – and, consequently a host of diseases.

But if we empower these cells with an antiaging diet that includes proper nutrition they will have the tools necessary to keep themselves healthy and working at optimum levels.

An antiaging diet is largely based on common sense. First and foremost, increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables. Concentrate on green, leafy vegetables or those with deep color to them – spinach, kale, carrots – and eat a variety of all different types. Specific vegetables contain high levels of antioxidants. And all vegetables have a variety of vitamins and minerals to keep your body healthy. There are those fruits that contain antioxidants as well – apricots, watermelon, and berries – and fruits of all varieties contain nutrients found to fight heart disease and a myriad of illnesses.

Eating a well-rounded antiaging diet rich in whole foods, fruits, vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and protein – such as lean meats and raw nuts – will ensure that you have all that you need. But ensuring that you avoid what you don’t need is just as important. Minimize your intake of fatty, greasy, and fried foods.

Just a little bit of effort on your part, your antiaging diet will find you looking and feeling better and will put you well on your way to enjoying a long and healthy life.

Is Antiaging HGH Treatment Safe And Should You Consider It To Fight Back Time?

Posted by admin on Aug 31st, 2010 | 0 comments

Fighting back the effects of time on the body has never been so prevalent in human history than during the baby boomer era. This one generation, more than any other, refuses to let the ravages of time dictate to it and has been responsible for what can only been termed as an antiaging revolution.

From plastic surgery to nutrition based products, they’ll consider just about anything which promises to delay the aging process. So where does HGH treatment fit into the equation? It’s right up there with the best!

Antiaging HGH treatment is an option being pursued not just by people 40 and over, but surprisingly, by many in their 20’s and 30’s. Are there merits in HGH treatment? Research continues to throw up some interesting statistics for this antiaging treatment which are a little hard to ignore.

Human Growth Hormone is naturally produced by the body anyway so it’s hard to understand the naysayers detracting from it as an effective tool to combat aging. During a person’s youth, it is produced in plentiful quantities however, it’s levels gradually diminish over the course of a persons life and by the time they are in their sixties, it’s estimated to be at levels almost 80% below than when they are in their twenties.

Benefits Of Antiaging HGH Treatment

Used under strict medical supervision, HGH treatment has been shown tp promote good and lasting health contributing to the maintenance of strong bone density and solid energy levels. In essence, it’s designed to promote a better quality of life.

Antiaging treatments are everywhere today and in many cases, they are a little superficial. Surgery and skin products are one thing but laying the foundation for long lasting health begins within. HGH treatment has opened the door for further studies on delaying the aging process and for older people, if this can be accomplished with a substance natural to the human body, then maybe the answer has been staring us in the face all the time.

What Is Human Growth Hormone?

HGH is created or produced in what is known as the pituitary gland. It’s also known as Somatropin which in normal circumstances, is used to treat children with growth problems. However, it’s been proven to generate bone strength and also the ability to retain calcium while it has a capacity to stimulate a person’s immune system. HIV patients who suffer severe weight loss problems are earmarked as potential Somatropin treatment candidates.

The more common ingredients found in an antiaging HGH treatment include Glutamine, Arginine and Valine. Glutamine has the ability to increase a person’s metabolism and immune system while Arginine has a positive effect on sperm count and body cell rejuvenation. Valine is an agent with qualities known to promote tissue growth as well as aid in muscle recovery.

The Future For HGH Treatment

There is obviously an opportunity for people to abuse this type of treatment. Side effects for mis-use or over-use are drastic and you should only consider it under medical supervision. There is no doubt HGH can be beneficial in treating the effects of time for middle aged people and beyond and in time, it could very well prove to be part of the “fountain of youth” equation. Until then, play it safe and stay within the recommended guidelines.
