Body Rejuvenation: aging - no!

Thinking about the rejuvenation of the body? Did you know that your body is only 15, 5 years? Chances are you have already gone through much more birthdays, but scientists say that such is the average age of the adult body - at least, his muscles and internal organs. You can argue that the muscles and organs existed from the time of your birth - and even before - and rightly so. But ...

The fact is that every day your body's 432 billion cells die and are replaced by new ones. For example, if you cut a week ago when cut vegetables, to date, the cut may already almost completely healed, and this means that several millions of old, damaged cells were replaced. However, cell renewal no restrictions as this; this process takes time - otherwise the tissues of the body to wear out much faster. Updated cells that make up your skin, gums, blood - almost everything. Regeneration is happening right now, as you read, and when you sleep, when to work and rest. So it turns out that the age of your constantly updated organs and muscles - about 15, 5 years.

Here are some amazing facts about the regeneration of the body:

• The cells forming the digestive system, from the stomach to the colon are replaced every five minutes;
• Cells gums are updated every two weeks;
• The outer layer of skin is updated every four weeks;
• Red blood cells are living, on average, 120 days, after which they are replaced by new blood cells;
• The cardiac muscle cells are replaced every 6-9 months;
• The liver is able to recover, if healthy, only 25% of the fabric;
• Recent research suggests that even the brain cells are able to regenerate.

It's a miracle that your body is doing on a daily basis - the miracle of renewal. You do not notice the changes because replacing the tiny particles are not discernible to the human eye, and in addition to the normal new cells identical to the old one. But if it looks optimistic, why do we age?

Upgrading or destruction?

Indeed, every day the old cells of the body are replaced by new ones, but the question is whether these cells as healthy as the previous. The quality of new cells is dependent on the raw materials available to the body at the time of their formation - that is, from the food a person consumes. If you eat healthy, fresh cells can be as healthy as the ones they replace, and maybe - even more healthy. In this case it will be present update. If you eat junk food, the quality of new cells is low, and the result is a gradual destruction of the body.

Of course, not all depends on the power and other external factors. Approximately 30% of health depends on genetics. However, you can achieve a lot with the remaining 70%.

In addition, it was found that alcoholics, regardless of gender, there are problems with memory and learning. When you consider that people who abuse alcohol, the body as a whole is aging faster than those that do not drink or drink moderately, it is easy to conclude that it is better to learn to have fun without alcohol than face a premature deterioration of the entire organism - how muscle and brain.
