E-health : Now that we are called to live longer and longer, many of us are wondering how to stay fit through. What is to live very old, if they live badly?What do you think?
What is my physiological age?
Dr. Christopher Jaeger : The first question to ask is what is my physiological age? That is what I am younger or older than my age? To this end balances have been developed, such as the Institute of Ageing in Paris, which compares results to those measured in populations of various ages. We can determine if you are ahead or behind on your age. This review concerns the smoothness of the skin (which increases with age), the distribution of muscle over fat (your body), blood pressure and various measures for assessing the functional status of your various organs. Respiratory function is for example very sensitive to age and those who do not train physically go down to see her soon. Another significant feature is the memory and memory comprehensive assessments are proposed, which can take up to 2:30, to take stock of the effectiveness of your neurons!
What about my lifestyle?
The second question is what is wrong with my lifestyle? Do I smoke (even a little is not good?), Is what I drink too much without realizing it: over a glass of wine per day for women and more 2 drinks per day for humans? (Cocktails here, a little wine there, a restaurant with friends, invitations, etc..) Does my diet is balanced and sufficiently rich in fruits and vegetables and fish? Is what I'm doing enough exercise? Is stress taking up too much space in my life? E-Health : What of hormones, vitamins and other micronutrients. Should we take to stay young?
Is that everything is well balanced in me? (Vitamins, trace elements, enzymes, hormones.)
Dr. Christopher Jaeger : This is an area in which very many advances have been made, especially for biological assays. He must know that certain elements are essential in trace amounts in our bodies and are therefore very difficult to measure. Others are very fragile and require transport conditions with freezing to be sent to specialized laboratories. Finally, it should be followed by a specialist in the interpretation of these parameters because they are all intimately interrelated. Specifically we can determine: - Vitamins: Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin C Report / Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Beta Carotene, - trace elements necessary for the manufacture of antioxidants: Selenium, Zinc, Copper, Report Copper / Zinc - antioxidant enzymes: Glutathione reduced (GSH), oxidized glutathione (GSSG), Report GSH / GSS, glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD), Protein thiols, Ubiquinone (Coenzyme Q10) - other factors related biological to oxidation: Iron serum ferritin, transferrin, uric acid - the hormones pregnenolone, testosterone estrogen, DHEA, cortisol, melatonin, thyroid hormone. Remains the difficulty of linking deficits or on the contrary, the overall surplus, with corresponding clinical symptoms. We lack experience and above all well-conducted clinical studies, as criteria good practice. Meanwhile, those who are interested in this type of assessment are advised to go to doctors who specialize in this type of care . They tend to congregate in associations, the best known in France are the French Society of Medicine and Physiology of Aging (SFMPV) I am the President and the French Anti-Aging Association (AFAA),. Preventive medicine of aging is still a very complex, very many things being put in. It's still a super-specialty and she will enter the Faculty of Medicine in 2006 with the establishment of a new diploma. Such education should increase the number of doctors likely to meet public demand.This demand is growing steadily and we now see people 50 years or less, come see us. And we can only encourage both correct a deficit when it is young is nothing, while later it will be much more difficult? "
