The scientists were successful in curbing two age-enhancing processes: the telomere and malfunctioning cells in the body.
Israeli scientists have carried out research that will help fight ageing. The research was conducted on 35 volunteers who were more than 64 years of age.
The volunteers were provided with clean oxygen for 90 minutes a day, five days a week in a pressurised chamber. The experiment continued for three months and the end result was appalling.
The scientists claim that ageing in all 35 volunteers got arrested which means the researches in a period of just three months successfully carried out the process of reverse ageing.
The scientists were successful in curbing two age-enhancing processes: the telomere and malfunctioning cells in the body.
A telomere is the last end of a Chromosome that protects it from damage during replication. Everytime there is a replication the telomere takes a hit and shortens. By each passing day, they become shorter in length. And when they become very short the Chromosomes are unable to replicate and the ageing process begins.
The scientists have not only limited the damage to the telomere but have also been successful in decreasing the number of inactivated cells by Oxygen Therapy.
This is not the first attempt to reverse ageing. Humans have been trying to find a solution to it for a very long time. Ayurveda is one such medical practice whose history is more than 5 thousand years old and the method used to prevent ageing in Ayurveda is called Rasayana.
5 thousand years ago, King Gilgamesh of Egypt had designed a complete programme based on China's medical practice to overcome ageing.
About 2 thousand years ago the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra used Donkey's milk to stay young. This might sound weird but this milk is being used in huge quantity for making beauty products and is sold in the market for 5 to 7 thousand rupees a litre.
The market for anti-ageing products is a whopping 88 thousand crore rupees. Countries like China, Australia, India and South Korea have the maximum demands for these products.
American industrialist Bill Maris, who introduced Google Ventures, claimed a few years ago that science and technology will help humans live for at least 500 years.
But the question is why people do not want to look old and are thriving to stop the process of ageing? Psychologists believe that the desire to always look young has been in the minds of humans for a very long time and are not able to accept the fact that they are no more agile.
People do not want to retire, because by doing so, you lose everything you have earned so far.
So to live a long life one does not have to depend on science alone. For instance, there is a village in China called Chemiang where most of the people are above the age of 100.
The reason for the long life is that the people here are dependent on farming and there is no industrialisation near the village, which means a clean environment. Another important factor is their eating habits. Fresh fruits and vegetables are readily available to them. And lastly, they work in the fields which makes them stronger.
If you too wish to live a long life then add exercise to your regime, adopt good eating habits and chose a place that is free of pollution.
Are we willing to accept death as and when it comes? Most of us live in a materialistic world that forces us to be a little greedy. Science can help you to an extent but death will definitely come. The only way that one can live long is to make your life memorable.
