The Aging Fallacy – Is Aging Avoidable? Nutrition as a Fountain of Youth

I was reading an article the other day about how often the human skeleton is able to regenerate itself (every 10 years) & it had me wondering, if we are structured by a whole new skeleton every 10 years, why do conditions such as osteoporosis continue to exist?

If you are to pay attention to common health advice available via mainstream media, you’d be conditioned to believe that as you age, you will undoubtedly succumb to conditions of ‘aging’ such as osteoporosis (brittle bones), heart disease, diabetes & dementia.

But what if these are not inevitable conditions of aging, but conditions which are a direct result of improper regeneration which could have been prevented had you provided your body with the correct & ample supply of nutrients in order to ensure the correct & satisfactory regeneration of your structure, during the body's natural regenerative cycles.

What if we don’t have to succumb to osteoporosis as we ‘age’ & instead we have to ensure we receive adequate amounts of vitamin D through sunlight, as well as calcium, magnesium & phosphorus in order to rebuild a sturdy & solid structure.

What if we don’t have to succumb to dementia, instead we have to ensure we provide correct & sufficient nutrition to promote the daily regeneration of our brain cells, to support the brain’s natural regenerative processes.

What if we don’t have to succumb to heart disease, instead we have to ensure we feed our body ample amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and CoQ10 during each of the heart’s regeneration periods to ensure the heart receives the necessary nutrients required to regenerate itself correctly & efficiently.

Conditions of ‘aging’ may perhaps be the direct result of poor maintenance & shonky workmanship on your own part. You literally are what you eat, after all. Are you consciously building for yourself a healthier & improved version of your body with each passing day, week or year?

Or are you continuing to drink alcohol daily, smoke, use drugs, eat nutritionally void & chemically laden junk foods & inviting ‘age’ related conditions into the reality of your physical form?

How often does the body regenrate itself?

• The skeleton regenerates itself & is renewed in it's entirety in 10 years.
• The heart regenerates itself & is renewed in 3 years.
• Brain cells regenerate themselves via neurogenesis every single day & recovery from brain injury is not uncommon within 6 months.
• The liver can regenerate half its mass in 30 days & full regeneration takes less than 3 years.
• The stomach lining regenerates itself every few days.
• The lining of the intestines is one of the often most renewed surfaces in the human body & regenerates itself every 2 to 4 weeks.
• The epidermis (or skin) regenerates itself every 27 days. Glowing skin takes less than a month to achieve.
• Hair follicles regenerate themselves within 2 months, unless damaged, in which case a damaged hair follicle will regenerate itself in four years.
• Nerves will regenerate themselves at a rate of 1mm per day & depending upon the severity of injury or damage, can restore themselves with a few months to a few years.

With these timeframes in mind, it can be reasonable to assume that with forward planning & abundant nutrition, recovery from any condition or injury is possible & aging, as we know it, might have been one of the greatest fallacies ever told.

Perhaps immortality isn't just a pipe dream after all.
