Why does aging happen to the body?
Our bodies are made up of cells; these cells constantly replicate in order to replace damaged old or damaged ones. When this replication occurs, structures called “telomeres” that serve as protective caps on our chromosomes, become shorter. Shortened telomeres have been linked with increased incidence of disease, worsened health, and shorter life expectancy.
Is it true that we’re looking for the fountain of youth? What we are looking for as we get older is the ability to rebound from injury and illness, and to thrive into old age. Aging doesn’t have to be something that instils worry and fear; instead, it should be about embracing this next chapter of life. A chapter in which we live life to the fullest, just as we did when we were younger. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can not only help you age with grace from the inside out, but recent research shows it can also reverse aging on the cellular level.
How does HBOT promote anti-aging?
- Lengthens telomeres up to 20-36%. This means HBOT actually reverses aging
- Improves wound healing and reduces scar formation
- Reduces excessive skin damage from ultraviolet radiation
- Oxygen is an important component in skin rejuvenation, treatment of photoaging skin, & improvement in skin complexions
- Promotes collagen production and maintains skin elasticity
- Can offer protection from future ultraviolet exposure
HBOT is part of the emerging “beauty tech” industry, which develops and embraces anti-aging technology that is driven by science, research, and peer-reviewed studies. The results from years of studies are clear: HBOT is an important component in fighting aging and age-related problems. It not only treats current signs of aging and prevents future aging, but can even reverse aging. As more researchers work to replicate these results and experiment with more patients, we will learn even more, and continue to fight aging-related ailments and pain.
A breakthrough study from Tel Aviv University confirmed that a 90 day course of 60 sessions of HBOT significantly affected the aging process at the cellular level. The lead researcher Dr Efrati noted, “Until now, interventions such as lifestyle modifications and intense exercise were shown to have a little slowing effect on telomere shortening, but in our study, only three months of HBOT was able to elongate telomeres at rates far beyond any currently available interventions or lifestyle modifications.”
