Another View point about Aging and Age Related Diseases

I've done a little research about aging and my perspective has really changed afterwards. Aging is really not just about getting older as time passes by.

There's something they call chronic inflammation and it's what fuels diseases like dementia and heart disease.

There's a new enzyme called ACLY, which obviously I have never heard of before till today and it turns out to be one of the main thing driving this destructive process in aging cells.

But what if I told you that it's possible for scientists to block ACLY and reduce inflammation? We'll be looking at a way to actually reverse aging or at least prevent the aging related diseases.

The funny thing when you look at the history of our attempts to reverse aging is that we have been going the wrong direction all along.

We’ve been chasing anti-aging miracles for so long, making creams, supplements and diets but now we have something that could actually target one of the root causes of aging. You can call the new solution, ACLY inhibitors.

It'll make us able to actually reduce inflammation without destroying the aging cells themselves which has been a big struggle for scientists. Because messing with cells of the human body is a very risky thing and with this new innovation, that risk can been mitigated.

I'm still a bit skeptical about this though, it looks too good to be true but how long has it been since we started this journey of age reversal, it was a probability that this would happen and we would eventually find a good solution.

I'll not ignore the possibility of ripple effects when we attempt manipulate these enzymes. Hopefully one day, the average person can age gracefully, without having to endure age related diseases.
