Anti-Aging Part 1: The Basics
History regards Ponce de Leon's search for "The Fountain of Youth" as folly, and justifiably so. But in today's world, rejuvenation is more than a mere dream as scientific advancements in biochemistry are providing profound insights into the workings of the human body, testable theories on aging, and keys to slowing down the aging process. We now know that aging begins long before the first signs of wrinkles, gray hair, and loss of body tone appear. By the time we reach our late twenties and early thirties, organ systems are already beginning to shrink. As the years progress, we start to produce smaller and smaller amounts of hormones, and everything from memory and vision to sexual potency starts to diminish.
