Can We Reverse Our Biological Age?

Advertorial

How old are you?

It’s a common question that’s asked.

However, what if we answered with two answers instead of one?

That’s what researchers have discovered.

There’s the obvious answer, which is your chronological age – the years, months and days that have passed since you were born.

But, there’s also what’s called your biological age or cellular age – how old your body is (muscles, cells, organs, brain) and how well they work.

It’s the wear and tear your cells have gone through.

In recent years, tests have been developed to determine your biological age.

Researchers also discovered that your biological age is a much better predictor of lifespan and healthspan than just your chronological age.

I interviewed health and nutrition expert Mark Morrison on biological aging.

And he explained it to me this way.

Imagine two identical cars – same year and model bought at the exact same time by two different owners.

Both drivers drive the exact same amount of miles every year.

Owner A takes good care of his car, changes the oil, brake and transmission fluid regularly, performs tune-ups and isn’t hard on his car when he drives.

Driver B doesn’t change the oil regularly nor change the brake and transmission fluid. He never performs a tune-up and is very hard on his car when driving.

Which car will have more wear and tear over its lifetime?

The owner’s B car will most likely be in much worse shape.

If someone were to test drive both cars after 10 years without looking at the odometer or knowing the year of the vehicle, you would think car A is a newer model compared to car B.

Well, our bodies and our biological age are no different.

Some people take care of their body as if it was car A, while others like car B.

Therefore, your biological age may reflect this.

In other words, if you take care of yourself like car A, it’s possible to be 50 years old chronologically but have a 40-year-old biological age.

The opposite is also true.

If you neglect your body like car B, you can have a 50-year-old biological age when you hit your 40th birthday.

Researchers believe your biological age is a total health metric and the greater it is, the more likely you are prone to age-related disease and frailty.

Your healthspan (healthy years of living) will also be shortened.

Morrison explained that there are factors that can accelerate or reverse biological aging.

Lifestyle habits such as diet, exercise, sleep, stress, environment, GMOs, excess alcohol, smoking and other things can have effects on biological aging.

In Morrison’s case, he eats mostly whole foods, exercises 2-3 times a week, sleeps 7-8 hours a day (which is optimal), avoids GMO’s, doesn’t smoke or drink, and has little stress.

All these are good lifestyle habits to maintain.

Morrison also states that proper supplementation can play a big part in biological aging.

He performed his own independent self-study on biological aging.

He took a biological age test at the chronological age of 53.2 years and his biological age was 48.1.

Not bad, but Morrison was baffled and upset. He thought it would come in lower, considering his healthy lifestyle.

So he started taking a supplement called REJUVANT™ LifeTabs™ which claims to reduce biological aging.

It’s a powerful antioxidant that contains LifeAKG™.

Life AKG contains a naturally occurring compound found in the body called alpha-ketoglutarate.

However, Morrison states that our bodies AKG production is significantly reduced once we turn 40.

AKG is needed to eliminate toxic ammonia from your body, fight oxidative stress, and remove zombie cells (cells that stop dividing but don’t die off).

All three things affect how we age significantly.

After almost 4 months on REJUVANT, he re-took his biological age test at the chronological age of 53.6 and his biological age had dropped to 41.5!

That’s a drop of 7 years going from 5.1 years to 12.1

His before and after results are below.
