Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can reverse 2 key indicators of human aging.
According to Israeli scientist Shah. A study led by Shai Effrati found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy reversed 2 key indicators of human aging:
1. Telomere length increased by 20%-38%;
2.Cellular aging is reduced by 11%-37%, which has a significant anti-aging effect.
Telomere concept: Telomeres are located at opposite ends of DNA, and as we age, they get shorter and shorter, which will lead to diseases including cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. On the other hand, senescent cells or so-called zombie cells can also accumulate in the body, preventing cell regeneration. Until finally because it was too short to divide, life died with it.
The study is now published in the authoritative journal Aging. The researchers had 30 healthy adults over the age of 65 receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 3 months, five days a week, in which the subjects breathed oxygen through masks in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.
The results showed that the experiment resulted in a 37% regrowth of human telomeres while its senescent cells decreased by 38%. Scientists say this is equivalent to the cellular level their bodies were at 25 years ago.
The experiment was inspired by NASA, where astronauts who went into space returned with longer telomeres, while those who remained on Earth experienced a normal shortening of telomeres over time. Shai Efrati believes that "this is the first time that human beings have discovered that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is not only slowing down aging, but also reversing aging."
Other popular anti-aging studies have shown that interventions such as a healthy diet and exercise also have a somewhat inhibitory effect on telomere length reduction.
Dr Amir Hadani, one of the researchers in hyperbaric oxygen therapy, said: "It is noteworthy that in our study, three months of treatment was able to achieve significant telomere lengthening, which is more effective than any currently available intervention. ”
It is not difficult to see that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a positive effect on beauty and anti-aging. It can reduce the accumulation of senescent cells and damaged cells in the skin and accelerate cell repair; Improve skin elasticity by strengthening the length and stability of elastic fibers; By promoting the production of subcutaneous collagen, it improves skin sagging and eliminates dark circles, thereby achieving a beauty and beauty effect.
