Cells
Emerging scientific data from the aging research sector, reveals the importance of cellular and molecular processes in our body as the hallmarks of aging. Advances in this scientific field have shown the possible mechanisms related to our cells health, which seem to decline as we age while presenting a strong connection with the aging process.
Research reveals that although some of the variations in older people’s health are genetic, much is due to people’s physical and social environments and of course nutrition, which is a key factor that influences how we age. Nutrition is about eating a healthy and balanced diet so you can fuel your body with the nutrients it needs. However, the vast majority of benefits from maintaining a healthy diet are more visible to people as they age. Healthy diets are helping people not only to have a better life quality but most importantly alter life expectancy, as proper nutrition helps people to stay well and active, for longer. Read below on how an anti ageing vitamin can improve your health.
As we age, oxidative stress, created by molecules called free radicals, induced by lifestyle choices and environmental factors is increasing. High levels of oxidative stress can damage our DNA and many more important natural processes and molecules in our body.
Natural antioxidants, such as Selenium, Zinc, Manganese, Vitamin E, Vtamin C, Riboflavin, and Copper contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
Iron, which has been characterised as an obligate requirement for life, plays a role in cell division and contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin.
Folate, Zinc and Vitamin D also have a role in the process of cell division and Vitamin A has a role in the process of cell specialisation.
Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis while vitamin B6 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
