Finding the 'miracle drug' to reverse aging is surprisingly simple

Scientists from the Amsterdam University Medical Center have identified a special mechanism involving lipids that can reverse micro-aging.

According to research just published in the journal Aging, Dutch researchers discovered a type of lipid that accumulates in tissue that is closely related to tissue aging, but we can completely eliminate it. out every day.

This work aims to fill gaps in the understanding of aging by investigating the role of lipids, an important dietary component and essential for cellular function.

Exercise can help offset the natural aging process - (AI graphic).

"The idea of ​​reversing aging has long been considered science fiction, but these findings allow us to understand a lot more" - Professor Riekelt Houtkoope from the Center's Metabolic Genetic Pathology laboratory Amsterdam University Health (Amsterdam UMC) said.

The team analyzed 10 different tissues in muscle, kidney, liver and heart in mice of different ages.

They observed elevated levels of a lipid called bis (monoacylglycero)phosphates (BMP) across all tissues in older mice, suggesting accumulation with age.

To investigate whether this phenomenon occurs in humans, they examined muscle biopsies from elderly people and confirmed the same mechanism.

Then, they continued to collect muscle biopsy samples from the participants before and after the health intervention with 1 hour of exercise per day.

Notably, BMP levels were reduced in active participants. This temporary reversal helps offset some of the build-up caused by age, thereby slowing down the aging process.

The researchers acknowledge that more research is needed to fully understand BMP's contributions to the aging process, as well as whether exercise is the only method that can influence BMP levels.

However, this finding is enough to become an easy suggestion for many people to achieve healthy aging, which is very urgent in the era of population aging.

By understanding the mechanisms behind tissue aging, scientists can develop new strategies to intervene in this process and offer potential ways to improve human health and longevity.

Above all, exercise is a definitely healthy method for you to repel many different diseases , which has been scientifically proven.
