Welcome to Anti-Aging Meds. Besides a nice selection of anti-aging articles, please also visit our news feeds for the latest information about anti-aging medicines.
There is a lot of research being done around the world in the area of anti-aging medicines. A few months ago, I read about a contest in which teams of scientists are striving to see who can increase the lifespan of mice the most - it's called the MPrize - and the winnings fund is currently at over 3 and a half million dollars.

You can personally effect the aging process with your dedication to a healthy diet (caloric restriction has already bee proven to retard aging), consistent exercise, and the right mental state. Besides these basics, biological science and technology is progressing quickly with several types of approaches - from simple hormone therapy to complex genetic engineering - and much inbetween.
Time adds body fat and depletes energy. In our twenties, there is a gradual decline in our immune and muscular systems - which calls for regular exercise and body-nourishing foods. As time marches on, all kinds of changes happen within our bodies. Of much important to aging is something known as free radicals, which are oxygen molecules that have become separated during normal cell functions. If not disarmed and eliminated, these radical oxygen fragments attack our cell membranes and leave us vulnerable to such serious health problems as heart disease and cancer. There is a definite correlation between free radicals and signs of deterioration associated with aging - like sagging muscles, wrinkles and the need for reading glasses. To fight back, antioxidant nutrients such as vitamins A, C and E, selenium and zinc should be taken.
Anti-Aging Meds will become a big business, as baby boomers (born in the 1940s and 1950s) become an ever increasing part of the population of industrialized countries. Expect great strides in the field of biotechnology as scientists start taking medicines from the lab and they become available through the pharmaceutical companies. There are many exciting medications in the pipeline - from reducing your bad cholesteral to actually retarding the production of fat in your body.
Please bookmark Anti-Aging Meds, and come back often. We will be adding updated information as regards to slowing down (and even reversing) the aging process - as it becomes available.
