Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging Reno Nevada - What we REALLY Know about Prolonged Healthy Aging

OPINION:  Dr Ken Romeo  775-870-6942

Aging is a well-known and perhaps inevitable process that is influenced by genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors. All factors effecting healthy aging are not known at this time. However, it is my opinion that over 90% of what is known today can increase human lifespan well past the century mark with continued good health.

The exact mechanisms underlying the aging process are not well understood.

The reduction of free radicals, low-grade inflammation and the promotion of intra-cellular health by calorie restriction or other dietary manipulation can extend lifespan in a wide spectrum of model organisms.

Additionally, recent studies show that some food-derived small molecules, called phytochemicals, can extend lifespan in various animal species.

Yours in Health!

Melatonin - A Free Radical Scavenger Champion - Dr Ken Romeo - Anti Aging - Reno Nevada

OPINION: Dr Ken Romeo   775-870-6942

Amitriptyline, a commonly used tricyclic antidepressants, can cause severe liver damage in patients who receive it continuously.

Melatonin is an antiaging and antioxidant hormone synthesized from pineal gland and is usually a part of a custom tailored anti aging program.

If melatonin is such a powerful antioxidant, can melatonin reverse the damage caused by amitriptyline in the liver?

In a recent study, melatonin was given to patients and the scientists studies markers such as cell viability, reactive oxygen species formation, lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial membrane potential, and liver glutathione levels.

The results?

Melatonin effectively reduced the cell death, free radical formation and lipid peroxidation, mitochondrial membrane potential collapse, and reduced cellular glutathione content caused by amitriptyline.

It goes without saying that Melatonin can be an important component to a well constructed individualized anti aging program.
