Life without old age
Academician Skulachev presented his new book "Life without old Age"
"Abroad"Humanity throughout its history has tried to unravel the secret of eternal youth.
It is impossible to count how many copies were broken in unsuccessful attempts to overcome the immutable laws of nature, however, in spite of everything, outstanding minds continued to follow this path. And now in the XXI century, in a period of rapid technological progress, it becomes possible to talk about significant successes in the war against old age.
A presentation of the book "Life without Old Age" by biochemist, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Skulachev took place in Moscow. The results of many years of hard research work have made it possible to crack the "self-destruction code" originally embedded in cells, which means that the aging program can be turned off.
The event was held away from the hustle and bustle of the city in an old mansion in the Sorbetto restaurant, owned by Vasily Tsereteli, the son of the legendary sculptor. In addition to the author himself, the presentation was attended by the famous journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Pozner, who highly appreciated the achievements of scientists and expressed his full readiness to try out the recommendations given in the book for himself.
According to Skulachev's concept, aging has a deep biological meaning, the stages of development and subsequent extinction are programmed in human genes initially. But this program, like any other, can theoretically be tried to bypass or break. At the same time, the author noted that modern science is already able to stop programmed cell death, and this opens up good prospects for the near future.
The scientist stated that the abolition of aging at the present stage is a purely technical task, and already there is a very clear idea of how to create a drug that completely "cancels" old age. The academician's extensive team of colleagues, numbering more than three hundred scientists – biologists, physicians, chemists – is convinced that the eternal problem of humanity will be successfully solved in the coming years.
As Vladimir Skulachev said, there are many species of living beings on our planet that do not age at all. One of these creatures is a rodent called a naked digger. A naked digger is supposed to live for 3 years, like his relatives, but he lives longer: scientists have been watching him for 30 years. He does not have cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is not susceptible to viruses. A person in the near future will be able to become the same ageless being.
At the same time, with the help of simple "tricks" set out in the book, the reader, without waiting for the final victory of progress, can right now begin to slow down the natural aging program. For example, according to the recommendations, you should limit your food intake by 30-40% (but not starve!), as well as give a systematic intensive load on the muscles. Let it not make a person immortal, but it will significantly increase his chances of prolonging his youth and living to the triumphant moment when a special substance will be created that completely turns off the aging mechanism.
For those people for whom the idea of prolonging their own youth is attractive and alluring – read without fail!
