Exercise Is the Best Anti-Aging Therapy 

As the years go by, common signs of the aging process begin to emerge. Eventually, everyone will begin to notice gray hair, wrinkles, fine lines, mood swings, reduced bone density, infertility, muscle tone loss and more. In the past, these conditions remained an unsolvable mystery. They were symptoms of an unstoppable force. In today’s world of advanced science and technology, we have begun to develop new ways of addressing these timeless problems. At the Harley Institute Institute in Atlanta, Georgia, we help men and women of all ages look and feel their best. We offer a wide range of innovative, non-surgical anti-aging techniques including Hormone Replacement Therapy, Ultherapy, Laser Treatments, Platelet Rich Plasma Treatments, microdermabrasion and more. While we provide many options for the external treatment of symptoms, successful anti-aging therapy must also be developed internally. Exercise offers incredible benefits for members of all generations, but those who have lived 50 or more years, regular physical activity can provide better health, longevity and increased enjoyment of life in general.

Telomeres and Cell Regeneration

The end of every DNA strand is capped with Telomeres, which help to protect and defend the chromosomes. Each time a healthy cell is reproduced in the human body, the Telomeres are diminished. Eventually, they will disappear entirely, making duplicated cells more susceptible to the loss of vital genetic information. Over time, this may accelerate the aging process. Thankfully, recent studies have shown that exercise stimulates the production of NRF1, a compound that is capable of producing the molecules needed to repair and revitalize Telomeres. Therefore, adding daily cardiovascular exercise to your routine may help keep your DNA healthier for longer, and can help to stem the tides of aging on the cellular level. 

The Anti-Aging Benefits of Regular Exercise

In addition to cell health, exercise also provides other benefits that can ease the conditions of aging. Physical activity increases the amount of available oxygen in the blood, strengthens muscles, improves heart health, stimulates mitochondrial function and prevents skeletal weakness. Strength training and cardiovascular activity combined can help men and women restore energy levels, maintain a healthy weight, balance hormones, and improve brain function. To receive the best results, it’s important to include at least two weekly strength training sessions and 30 minutes of cardio 3-5 times per week. 

Other Techniques for Slowing the Signs of Aging  

Exercise and quality nutrition provide an excellent foundation for a longer, more healthy life. Still, wrinkles, fine lines, loos skin and hyperpigmentation are likely to appear eventually. Establishing a quality anti-aging treatment plan can help take care of any skin care problems as needed, so you can feel great, inside and out. Therapies and treatment techniques like Ultherapy, dermal fillers and laser treatments can help stimulate collagen and can significantly reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone or texture. When used in combination with healthy diet and regular physical activity, you’ll enter your golden years feeling and looking decades younger.
