In our society today, people are dying to be young and trying to live forever. We will do whatever it takes to increase our longevity. While there is no known treatment to make people live forever, physicians and researchers have made tremendous progress when it comes to anti-aging treatments. While most articles I have come across on anti-aging have expressed negative attitudes and opinions, this one did not. The outlook of this medicine seems promising. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 1.3 million people will celebrate their 100th birthdays by 2040. The article stressed the fact that treatments to retard aging are evolving quickly and instead of being “hit-or-miss” they are becoming much more consistent and individualized. Regimens are created according to the patient’s individual needs. Treatment to slow aging usually consists of a combination of nutrients, drugs, and hormones. Sometimes surgery is also incorporated into the regimen.
A huge success in anti-aging has been HGH, or human growth hormone. It has many benefits on the body like improving organ function and the effectiveness of the immune system. Generally, it improves peoples’ health overall. This however is not the only thing needed for this treatment to be successful. Lifestyle choices play a huge role in anti-aging. A healthy diet and exercise are crucial to assist in the success of this remedy. Anti-aging regimens can greatly improve the quality of life for elderly people and can positively affect age-related degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
Although there are many critics of anti-aging treatments, it seems to have many benefits and looks like it will be a promising remedy in the future. Researchers are working hard to improve the current treatments and to discover other ways to slow the aging process and ultimately to keep people forever young.
