Is finally revealed the secret of longevity?
We want to ask about this at our guest
a head of research laboratory of Institute of Molecular Genetics of Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Severinov, Ph.D., D.Sc.
The biggest and the strongest effect on longevity has one simple thing:
systematic malnutrition, in general, starvation as a child.
And during fetal development.
That is, if people are, mothers are willing to condemn it to their children
then to a large degree of probability
well, if you do not take into account the different contingencies
which are always full in our lives
then the lifetime will be increased.
The fact is that when we eat...
Well, it's food, fuel,
Imagine a person as rocket engine, there is fuel and oxidizer is.
Oxidant - it is the oxygen we breathe.
So, when we oxidize food, absorb it,
we generates huge quantities of reactive oxygen species,
which are really spoiling us.
How to live a long life - the answer we were looking
with a head of research laboratory of Institute of Molecular Genetics of Russian Academy of Sciences Konstantin Severinov, Ph.D., D.Sc.
