Aging has been historically ignored, with more focus on diseases associated with aging. However, understanding the process of aging and its potential for intervention is crucial.
Excessive consumption of sugar can accelerate aging processes, leading to inflammation, oxidative stress, and other detrimental effects on the body. Reducing sugar intake can have a significant impact on aging.
Stem cell therapy, natural killer cell supplementation, and plasma exchange are being investigated as potential interventions for addressing aging-related conditions. These approaches show promise but require further research and rigorous clinical trials.
Insulin drives extra calories into fat cells, particularly in the belly area, which are metabolically active and produce harmful substances. This leads to inflammation and age-related diseases. Sugar causes glycation, which damages proteins, leading to more inflammation. Avoiding sugar, reducing ages in food, and consuming a healthy diet can break the sugar addiction and promote overall health.
The introduction of ultra-processed foods has contributed to the obesity epidemic. These deconstructed and reassembled food-like products do not regulate the body properly, leading to weight gain and various health issues. Studies show that people consuming ultra-processed foods eat more calories and are at higher risk of depression, inflammation, and metabolic changes. The overabundance of calories, combined with changes in the food system, has played a significant role in the rise of obesity.
In this episode, Peter and Mark discuss if aging is a disease, the science behind sugar- a silent killer, stem cell therapy and how relationships impact Longevity.
