There are so many products that claim to prevent aging. Aging someone could be inhibited by preventing the arrival of wrinkles and make skin remains taut. But is the process of aging can be slowed?

Everyone knows that nothing can stop the aging process. This process will run by itself based on the person’s age, because no way someone can live long, but do not experience aging.

The aging process happens, can only be postponed by way of taking care of the body and maintaining health. Experts said the high quality of life can make a person live longer and delay the aging process.

As quoted from the LiveScience, biologically, the aging process is also influenced by hormonal factors. Levels of some hormones and this by itself will decline with increasing age a person. There are certain hormones that can speed up or slow down the aging process of DHEA, testosterone, melatonin and HGH.

Person’s body will change the hormone DHEA (dehydro-epi-androsterone) to estrogen and testosterone. This hormone could help slow the aging process, increase muscle and bone strength, burn fat, strengthen the immune system and protect against various chronic diseases.

While the decline in testosterone (sex hormone in men) will affect the decline in energy and sexual arousal in the body, muscle weakness, osteoporosis and aging process.

The hormone melatonin is produced in the brain and helps regulate sleep. Some experts claim it could affect the delay or even accelerate the aging process. Besides that this hormone could also fight cancer and enhance sexuality. And the last is the human growth hormone (HGH) is a hormone that affects the growth process, because it will accelerate the decline of this hormone aging process.

Some people try to inject these hormones in the hope of preventing aging. Whereas the use of hormone supplement DHEA and testosterone overload can cause liver damage.

For that do not believe the ads that claim to stop aging, because there is no scientific evidence that shows that the aging process can be stopped. Aging is a natural process that happens to everybody. No one can stop aging, but can delay the time with a healthy lifestyle can improve quality of life.
