![]() ![]() If anything, this should help you look younger, to increase cell turnover, as it counteracts the slowdown due to age, although I don't think it affects collagen/elastin, but might be wrong.Īnother example is that oddly enough, men and women have different skin structure, male skin is more resistant, and by average in appearance, several years younger than a woman of the same age. Its due to the damage and slower replenishment of collagen/elastin in the skin, which is part of aging. Its obviously a bit more complex than that, as wrinkles wont go away purely from not using the skin, although it helps. There is a condition for example where people cannot bend their fingers, and as a result their fingers have no wrinkles this also happens, if for example you ever break your hand and cannot move it for some months. Wrinkles and so forth are a result of constant bending the skin, for example they can go away if not used. Generally rapid dividing cells are not really affected by it, because they need to be constantly replaced, this goes for your intestinal/stomach lining, hair, red blood cells and so forth, makes sense to also be towards your skin which is renewed every 20-35 days (depending on age). The cells that make your skin cells are not affected by it, from what I understand.Īkin to the cells that make your red blood cells (red bone marrow) which are stem cells, from what I understand on that article this includes skin producing cells. ![]() If you like the topic of live extension, Aubrey de grey is a good place to start, as caloric restriction might be (bit of a pain in the ass), or intermittent fasting, either by actually fasting several days a month, or by triggering fasting reflex by abstaining from food (fluids are fine) for about 16-18h per day, giving you a window to eat of 6-8h. Sadly one of the things associated with long telomeres, is acne, for w/e reason, and its my constant woe which i keep managed (and partial reason for my love for this sub)Īnyway rambling a bit, long story short and simplified, telomeres exist to prevent errors in cell replication and to give it a biological death clock to prevent unwanted mutations, and part of aging is because that system becomes less effective over time, giving rise to an accumulation of damage, "scaring", and so forth. Its known that people with naturally longer telomeres generally live longer (back 3 generations in my family, those who did not die of unnatural causes, lived past 90), for example. The main issue with telomere lengthening is that its not really certain it will have an effect in longevity, in theory it should, but aging is very, very complex. There are issues/concerns over it, while it helps prevent certain cancers, its suspected that it can increase the risk of others (cancers produces telomerase, they believe there might be an association somewhere), for example lung cancer.īut here is where personal responsibility and thinking comes into play, I have fairly low environmental risk factors for lung cancer, nor have any history of cancers in my family, so to me its worth the risk. I had naturally long telomeres, but now have about the length of a 15 year old (im 29). I have self-administered an experimental compound that does just that, and had 2 tests done, before and after. You don't research slowing telomeric shortening per se although it helps, what you do is promote telomerase production, which increases their length, or, regenerates them, if you prefer.
