Longevity without aging

Mortal men were called by the ancient Greeks, and this term has long since lost its significance. Immortality and left for a man equally unreal. It is real, however, was relatively long extension of youth,

exact - maturity: good health, vitality, zest for life, hard work - in short, everything that is called gerontologists active longevity .

Gerontology (from the Latin gerontos - old and logos - teaching) - is, as we know, the science of aging, and its problems, as a rule, become interested in people who have already reached a certain age limit. At least most of the 35th anniversary of which the great Dante wrote: Earthly life passed before the half ....

There are, however, exceptions. In 1972, two future military doctors - participants of the Leningrad Military Medical Academy Vladimir Havinson and Vyacheslav Morozov - are interested in a century-old experience of the French biologist at Brown-Sequard rejuvenate their patients.

Like Bulgakov's Transfiguration professor who used for this purpose sexual glands of monkeys, Brown-Sekar also chose for his experiments testes, though not monkey and bull, he singled out one extract, which is then administered to the patient.

Assuming that this extract contains certain biologically active substances that regulate the body's systems, Morozov and Havinson tried to identify similar substances from other internal organs of cattle.

Already in 1974 they had isolated from the thymus (thymus) and the epiphysis (pineal gland) peptide complexes, which, as shown by experiments on fruit flies, rats and mice, they regulate the processes of protein synthesis in cells.

These animals not only boosts immunity, and statistically, that is, compared with the control groups, increased life expectancy - on average by 30%. In the next 20 years, to the end that Frost and Havinson were colonel of medical service, they were able to get dozens of peptide drugs from a variety of organs and tissues of cattle.

The work was done in the research laboratory bio-regulators, organized at the Military Medical Academy. Medicines given cytomedines name (from the Latin citos - cell and media - mediator).

And in 1992, the Laboratory was formed by St. Petersburg Institute Bioregulation and Gerontology, entered two years in the North-West Branch of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences. Headed the Institute has become the time MD and Professor V. Havinson.

The main objective of the Institute - the development and study of the mechanisms of action of peptide drugs that regulate vital processes and slows the aging process. To date, under the direction of Havinson created dozens cytomedines isolated from brain tissue, spleen, thymus and pineal gland, gastrointestinal tract and other organs.

And six of these drugs included in the State Pharmacopoeia of the Russian Federation - the state standard of manufacturing drugs available in the country of a legislative nature. This, by the way, some kind of record, since none of the other national scientists there is no such amount included in the pharmacopoeia of drugs.

The study of the mechanisms of action cytomedines gave a very interesting and very important results: it turned out that each of them affects the work of the bodies of which was allocated (Biologists call this tissue-specific effect).

For example, extracted from the bronchi cytomedines bronholin corrects the function of the respiratory system, and isolated from bovine heart and blood vessels and kordialin vazolin - function of the cardiovascular system.

In a number of large medical institutions in Russia and the CIS, including the Military Medical Academy (St. Petersburg), the Central Military Hospital named after NN Burdenko (Moscow), St. Petersburg State Medical University named after Pavlov at the Institute of Obstetrics and Gynecology named after Academician Ott RAMS, at the Institute of Gerontology of Academy of Medical Sciences, the Institute of Oncology, Ministry of Health of Belarus cytomedines used for many years and have shown to be highly effective.

One of the most striking examples of this is the cytomedines prostatilen, the use of which often avoids the traditional surgical solution to the problem of adenoma and associated prostatitis.

Cytomedines, however, not only be treated. Introduced into the body, these endogenous (that is isolated from the internal organs) peptide bioregulators control it many vital processes, preventing premature aging.

After all, it is a violation of the peptide Bioregulation lowers the body's resistance to all kinds of destabilizing influences - both external and internal, which leads to malfunction at the cellular level and the imbalance between the links.

And gradually accumulate in the body are the quantitative and qualitative changes that define the transition from normal to abnormal state of his. What, in fact, it is called aging.

Cytomedines same adjusting cellular metabolism, can appreciably slow down the accumulation of such changes, and in some cases even restore the damaged during the aging function.

Healthy lifestyle

Health - an invaluable asset not only to each individual, but the entire society. At the meetings, partings with near and dear people, we wish them good health and good as it is - the main condition and guarantee a full, happy and long life.

Health helps us to fulfill our plans to successfully solve the basic problem of life, overcome difficulties, and if necessary, even a significant overload. Good health, reasonably maintained and strengthened by the man himself, gives him a long and active life.

Scientific evidence suggests that most people have when they observe hygienic rules have the opportunity to live to 100 years or more. Unfortunately, many people do not respect the most elementary, science-based rules of a healthy lifestyle.

Some are victims of inactivity (inactivity), causing premature aging and other excesses in eating with the almost inevitable in these cases, the development of obesity, vascular sclerosis, and some - diabetes, and some do not know how to relax, to distract from industrial and domestic worries, ever restless, nervous, suffer from insomnia that eventually leads to many diseases of internal organs.

Some people, succumbing to addiction to smoking and alcohol is actively shorten his life.

Work and rest

Labour - the true core and foundation of a healthy mode of life. There is a misconception about the harmful effect of the labor allegedly causing "deterioration" of the body, excessive consumption of energy and resources, premature aging.

It works both physical and mental, not only not harmful, but rather a systematic, feasible and well-organized work process is extremely beneficial effect on the nervous system, heart and blood vessels, bone and muscle - the entire human body. Constant training at work strengthens our body.

Long live those who work a lot and well throughout life .   On the contrary, idleness leads to muscle laxity, metabolism disorders, obesity and premature decrepitude. In the cases observed voltage and overwork person responsible is not the work itself, and the wrong mode of work.

It is necessary to properly and efficiently distribute power during the performance of both physical and mental. Uniform, rhythmic work more productive and healthier working than a change of periods of inactivity periods of intense, urgent work. Interesting and favorite work is performed easily, without stress does not cause fatigue and exhaustion.

What is important is the right career choice according to individual abilities and inclinations of man. For Employer important comfortable working form, it should be well briefed on safety. immediately before the work is important to organize your work area: remove all unnecessary, most rationally arrange all the tools, and so on. f. Workplace lighting should be sufficient and uniform.

Preferably a local light source, such as a desk lamp. Go to work better to start with the most difficult. It trains and strengthens the will. Does not allow to postpone the difficult things from morning to evening, from evening to morning, any day and in general on the back burner.

A necessary condition for maintaining health at work is the alternation of work and leisure. Rest after work does not mean a state of complete rest. Only at very high fatigue can be a question of passive recreation. It is advisable to rest the character was the opposite of human nature of the work ("contrast" principle of the rest).

People physical labor needed rest, is not associated with additional physical activities, and knowledge workers needed in specific leisure time physical work. This alternation of physical and mental stress is good for health.

The person conducting a lot of time in the room must be at least part of the rest time to spend outdoors. Urban residents desirable to have a rest outdoors - on walks through the city and outside the city, in parks, stadiums, hikes on trips, at work on the garden plots, and so on. N.

SLEEP MODE

To maintain the normal activity of the nervous system and the whole body is very important restful sleep. Great Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov pointed out that this kind of sleep-inhibition, which prevents the nervous system from excessive stress and fatigue. Sleep should be sufficiently long and deep.

If a person does not sleep, he gets up in the morning annoyed, frustrated, and sometimes with a headache. Determine the time required for sleep, without exception, people can not. The need for sleep varies from person to person. On average, this rate is about 8 hours.

Unfortunately, some people regard sleep as a reserve, from which you can borrow time for the execution of certain cases. The systematic lack of sleep leads to disruption of nervous activity, decreased performance, increased fatigue, irritability. To create conditions for normal, good and restful sleep is necessary for 1-1 5h. to sleep to stop the hard mental work.

Supper should be at least 2-2, 5h. Before sleep. This is important for a complete digestion. Sleep in a well-ventilated room, not bad accustom yourself to sleep with the open window, and in the warmer months, with the window open. In the room you need to turn off the lights and set the silence.

Sleepwear should be free, not hindering blood circulation. you can not sleep in street clothes. it is not recommended to close the covers with his head, sleeping face down: it interferes with normal breathing. It is advisable to go to bed at the same time - it contributes to the rapid fall asleep.

Failure to follow these simple rules of hygiene of sleep causes negative phenomena. Sleep becomes shallow and turbulent, thereby usually develops over time insomnia, certain disorders of the nervous system.

EXERCISE STRESS

For knowledge workers the systematic physical training and sports is of utmost importance. It is known that even in healthy and youngish man, if he does not exercise, is ,, ,, a sedentary lifestyle and physical activity, with the smallest physical activity quickens breathing, heart rate appears.

In contrast, the trained person can easily handle with significant physical exertion. The strength and efficiency of the cardiac muscle, the main engine of circulation, is directly related to the strength and development of the whole musculature. Therefore, physical training, developing the muscles of the body, at the same time strengthens the heart muscle. People with undeveloped muscles of the heart muscle is weak, which is revealed in any physical work.
