Boston (dbTechno) - U.S. researchers have put out a new study in the journal
Lancet Oncology, which gives details into the fountain of youth. The fountain
of youth apparently lies in following a lifestyle that includes exercise, and a
vegan diet.
A major lifestyle change may be needed if you truly want to find the fountain of
youth for yourself.
Researchers were lef by Prof. Dean Ornish of the Preventive Medicine Institute
in California.
He worked along with researchers from the University of California, San
Francisco to study 24 men with prostate cancer.
The men all had to follow some major lifestyle changes for the study.
Their lifestyle they had to follow included 30 minutes of exercise 6 days a week
for starters, as well as an hour of meditation or relaxing every day.
In regards to their diet, they could only get 10% of their calories from fat,
had to take vitamin supplements such as fish oil, and consume a diet that was
made up of whole foods, fruit, and vegetables.
They found that this was able to increase an enzyme known as telomerase, which
protects cells from the effects of aging.
A reduction in telomerase has been linked to an increased risk of disease, and
premature death.
By following this lifestyle, those in the study increased their telomerase
levels by 29%.
This is the first big step to finding out how to truly slow the aging process.
