Welcome to the CMA Anti Ageing Zone!

While the general population in developed countries is certainly living longer, there is no doubt that people are experiencing a greater incidence of chronic, degenerative disease, which means that people are living in a condition of dis-ease and discomfort for a great many years. 

We believe that this need not be the case and in the CMA Anti-ageing Zone we show you how to add life to your years - as well as years to your life!

Come back regularly as we'll be reporting on the latest developments in this excting and dynamic field.

It may sound nuts but is Caloric Restriction the ultimate anti-ageing regime?

According to an article in the Annual Review of Medicine, Calorie restriction (CR) is the most effective and reproducible intervention for increasing lifespan in a variety of animal species, including mammals. In addition, it was also stated that CR may also prevent a broad range of cancers.

Is there really an Anti-Ageing Medicine?

There is so much hype around the whole anti-ageing arena that you could be forgiven for assuming that there really must be an effective anti-ageing drug either available or at least just around the corner!  More . . .

Did you know . . .

• You can add approximately 40 - 50 years to your lifespan using periodic fasting and caloric restriction.
• Anti again supplements can add 20-30 years to your lifespan.
• It's likey to add 15 - 25 years to your life if you eat a nutritionally sound, individually tailored diet.
• High-tech bio-medicine such as ethical stem cell therapy may add 15-25 years or more to your lifespan.
• Quality of life (prosperity, relaxation, regular holidays) can add 15-25 years to your lifespan.
• Regular exercise and moderate physical activity can add 10-20 years to your lifespan.
  

These approaches taken together can add 60-80 years or more to your lifespan, if you start young (say at age 20). But even if you only start later (say at 45-50), you can still gain 30-40 years.  However, these estimates are based on the results of current scientific research and future progress in knowledge and life-extension techniques will certainly increase the potential gains beyond these figures.

So, if you can live long enough to benefit from these new techniques, there is a "virtuous circle", and your potential lifespan could be even longer!
