Does Daigo Lux affect telomere length?
Life Lenght, the leading European biotechnology laboratory, conducted the study for Daigo LUX product with the following results:
Is it possible to prolong an active and happy life in a safe way?
Yes, if you influence the length of your telomeres.
And how to do it?
There is a counter running in our cells, counting down the time of their life. This counter is telomeres.
Telomeres are protective "caps" at the ends of chromosomes that shorten with each cell division. The shorter the telomeres, the less potential a person has for health and longevity. And vice versa!
Does Daigo lux affect telomere length?
We have entrusted the answer to this question to the company "Life Length". For many years, scientists from all over the world have been studying telomere measurements and diagnostics in it.
For the study, fibroblasts (the main cells of human connective tissue) were fed Daigo lux for 8 weeks.
- 6 hours after the start of the experiment in cells treated with Daigo Lux, telomeres increased by more than 40%.
- Morphological analysis using a 20-fold magnification showed NO harmful effect at any concentration of Daigo lux!
- After 8 weeks, the cell without treatment decreased by 111%, and the cells treated with Daigo lux decreased only by 39% and by 57%. That is, Daigo lux, at least 1.5 times, slows down the shortening of telomeres.
Important: after stopping taking the product, the effect persisted! And most importantly.
During the 8-week intake, Daigo Lux did not stimulate the growth of cancer cells
In simple words: it is absolutely safe for health and increases a person's life potential.
What are telomeres?
Due to scientific research, the concept of "genetic medicine" is gradually ceasing to frighten, because it is the study of the human genome that helps to overcome diseases, save lives, and soon even slow down aging.
Together with colleagues Carol Greider and Jack Shostak, the American cytogenetic scientist Elizabeth Blackburn - all of them Nobel Prize laureates studying the effects of telomeres and telomerase on the aging process explains this connection... with the help of shoelaces.
Their plastic tips not only facilitate the insertion into the holes of shoes, but also protect the laces themselves from wear. Such "tips" telomeres are in the chromosomes of every human cell. They "hold" genetic information and protect the cell from aging. In the process of vital activity, cells divide, telomeres become shorter. When their length reaches a critical minimum the so-called Hayflick limit.
In 1961, scientist Leonard Hayflick studied how human cells dividing in cell culture die after about 50 divisions and show signs of aging when approaching this border! In general, it is clear: the longer the telomeres, the better for health and life expectancy. More fascinating details can be found in Elizabeth's book "The Telomere Effect. A revolutionary approach to a younger, healthier and longer life", but if you don't have time to read a little digression in our article.
Interesting facts about telomeres
- People who look older than their age have shorter telomeres. It was possible to find out this relationship, including by photo, because telomeres are responsible for skin aging and the appearance of gray hair.
- It turns out that the shorter the telomeres, the higher the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD), which occupy the first place in the list of causes of mortality and morbidity in Europe. According to Elizabeth Blackburn, a third of the population with the shortest telomeres suffered from CVD 40% more often than a third with the longest telomeres.
- Short telomeres decrease the mental abilities of their host with age. When examining a group of 70-year-olds who were in good health, special tests were excellent for those whose telomeres were longer. After seven years, the indicators worsened for all the study participants, while the "excellent students" were again people with long telomeres.
Is it possible to naturally influence telomerase in order to slow down the reduction of telomeres and prolong life? Great news yes!
According to a study by scientists at the University of California, San Francisco, published in the journal The Lancet Oncology, you can achieve what you want by changing your lifestyle.
With the help of a certain diet, physical activity, stress reduction and social support communication with friends, relatives, like-minded people. So how can we influence telomerase on our own, and then on the length of telomeres? For example, with the help of vitamin D. In a study involving more than 2,000 women, it was found that the DNA of participants with high levels of vitamin D were less susceptible to aging. Plus, it was possible to prove a direct dependence of telomere length on the concentration of vitamin D in the body.
And the researchers did not fail to note the fact that women with a higher concentration of vitamin D were more balanced and less irritable. All this, according to scientists, indicates that people with high levels of vitamin D age more slowly compared to those who are "deprived" of such a valuable element.
And physical activity within reasonable limits will also help a lot. The ones that you like are better. Greta Blackburn, in her book The Immortality Edge: Realize the Secrets of Your Telomeres for a Longer, Healthier Life, gives an exhaustive account of how high-intensity exercise prevents telomere length reduction.
A study (PLoS One, May 2010) of postmenopausal women suffering from chronic stress clearly demonstrated that "vigorous physical activity... protects people under stress by influencing telomere length (TL)." That is, in women who ignore physical exercise, an increase in stress levels by one point increases the probability of reducing the length of telomeres by 15%. At the same time, the stressful state of physically active respondents did not affect the telomere length. Simply put, high intensity physical exercises are an effective tool for reducing telomere length reduction and, as a result, slowing down aging!
As for nutrition, food with Omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, vegetables, nuts, legumes, algae are useful for telomeres. They do not act directly, but they make an important contribution to the preservation of our youth and life expectancy.
It is also possible to slow down the reduction of telomere length with Daigo lux, as evidenced by the study of the Spanish Life Length laboratory.
