What is Anti-Aging Medicine?
Anti-aging is more than just cosmetic treatments. Anti-aging is a whole-health approach to medicine with a focus on preventing the many diseases and conditions that are caused by aging.
Myth 1: Anti-Aging is Only About Looking Younger
Looking younger may be the end result of some anti-aging treatments, but anti-aging medicine addresses much more. Anti-aging medicine is a scientific field with evidence-based findings.
Anti-aging medicine is concerned with promoting:
- age related disease prevention
- optimal wellness
- internal and external health
- functional and cosmetic health
Myth 2: Life span Cannot Be Extended
Life span can be extended and has been extended. Since 1950, the average life expectancy of a North American has increased by 27 years. This increased life expectancy is the result of understanding what causes illness in age and what helps prevent illness in age.
The basics, such as a good diet and regular exercise are a big step in increasing your longevity, but science is finding that aging is a disease process: hormones deteriorate, free radicals attack healthy cells, immune function declines, and our overall health suffers as a result.
