Anti-aging conference presents a brief history of anti-aging medicine. Although anti-aging medicine is a relatively new field, research on anti-aging has been going on since the 1930s. The Josiah Macy Foundation was one of the main foundations that supported the research of anti-aging medicine when it was first being discovered. Since then, much more research has been done and also more breakthroughs have been found. Scientists and researchers have found that there are multiple components to anti-aging medicine. They consist of, “a combination of battery tests intended to measure biological age, suggested dietary modifications, exercise instruction, and the introduction of a suite of hormones and nutritional supplements. The underlying premise is that if physiological parameters that are believed to measure biological age can be modified so that they resemble levels present at younger ages, then it is believed that aging has been reversed and length and quality of life extended.”
There is no magical pill that a person can take to stop from aging but Americans are still investing billions of dollars each year, $44.6 billion alone last year, to try and find the magic bullet. I believe that anti-aging medicine has a promising future, especially since the public is so willing to invest in the research of anti-aging medicine. While some people are only hoping to use anti-aging medicine for physical beauty, I feel that this medicine also has remarkable benefits in improving the quality of life of people as they age. It is only a matter of time before researchers find the magic bullet.
