Aging occurs when damage to body cells (such as oxidation, inflammation and DNA damage mainly caused by free roots) increases, gradually leading to organ and body failure as a whole. While actual aging does not start until maturity, some cellular damage can begin to accumulate at an early age.
What material would slow ageing, improve health, and prolong life?
Fistein is a molecule belonging to polyphenols
In a study from the University of Minnesota in the United States, published recently in the Electronic Medical Journal, that substance was found to help reduce the number of damaged cells in the body.
When they treated older mice with this substance, their age increased, and their overall health improved.
Flavonoid is also known for its important antioxidant properties. However, antioxidants have the characteristic of fighting free roots, and are therefore powerful agents of aging, that is, they have the characteristic of promoting the repair of aging and damaged cells called aging.
During the study, of the 10 flavonoid compounds tested by the researchers, it was found that, as antioxidants, they help cells fight external attacks and promote their repair for optimal performance.
