เพราะการชะลอวัย...ไม่ใช่แค่เพื่อให้หน้าเด็ก

<div>The aging that many of us fear is often seen only as an external appearance issue. But did you know that the more frightening aging is actually the deterioration of internal organs? An expert in anti-aging medicine explains that <span style="color: #00826a;"><strong><em>“We see our parents getting older with wrinkles, sagging faces, dry skin, and thin skin. These are just external deteriorations. In reality, internal organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver, or basically every organ in the body also deteriorate. We call this condition ‘cellular aging.’”</em></strong></span></div>
<div></div>
<div></div>
<div><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>“Cellular aging”</strong></span> is related to many factors, including hormones. Therefore, balancing hormones can help slow down aging. There is one hormone that many people do not know about and rarely mention regarding aging, and that is…</div>
<div class="paragraph">

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">The Stress Hormone<strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>Cortisol (Cortisol Hormone), the stress hormone</strong></span>, or colloquially called the “house-burning hormone,” because cortisol is the reason people can do extraordinary things during emergencies. For example, during a fire, a person can lift a safe weighing 60-70 kilograms because when danger strikes, cortisol raises blood sugar levels, giving the strength to do various things. In daily life, when we are stressed, drink alcohol, or stay up late, cortisol from the adrenal glands increases, raising blood sugar, which allows the brain to think about stressful matters. However, cortisol also causes aging, wrinkles, and internal organ deterioration if present in excess. Hence, there is a saying that <span style="color: #00826a;"><strong>“If you don’t want to age, meditate, chant, and exercise”</strong></span> to reduce cortisol.</p>
<div></div>
<div>Therefore, to reduce cortisol, the Anti-Aging Medicine Center recommends stress reduction. Another way to help balance is through adaptogenic herbs, which have been extensively researched and published in medical journals for their effectiveness in reducing stress hormones. For example, Ashwagandha (Indian ginseng) helps the adrenal glands produce less cortisol. Consuming Ginkgo Biloba, Ginseng, or Thai herbs like Ginger also helps reduce stress hormones.</div>
<h2></h2>
<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Vitamin C also helps slow aging both externally and internally<strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p>Vitamin C stimulates collagen production. For example, some men who eat a lot of vegetables and fruits may have soft, smooth skin like women or children. Vitamin C can be considered a factor that easily makes the face look younger. People who eat plenty of vegetables and fruits, consume moderate amounts of meat, or are vegetarians usually have fewer wrinkles. Conversely, those who consume excessive sugar and meat tend to have premature wrinkles. Vitamin C thus affects aging. The above-mentioned skin conditions are only visible externally, but there are internal organs we cannot see. Vitamin C also acts as an antioxidant that helps slow organ deterioration, supports normal organ function, and extends their lifespan.</p>

<h2><span style="color: #00826a;">Understanding Telomeres… Measuring the Body’s True Age<strong><br />
</strong></span></h2>
<p>Telomere testing involves drawing blood to examine chromosomes. Blood consists of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Telomere testing uses white blood cells as representatives of DNA. Telomeres are the ends of DNA strands. If the telomeres are long, it indicates longevity. If they are short, it suggests a shorter lifespan. The test results provide a clear age comparison chart showing the expected telomere length at different ages. For example, if a 35-year-old’s telomere length corresponds to that of a 45-year-old, it means they are biologically 10 years older and need further care.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>If telomere testing shows abnormalities, doctors will conduct a detailed history to assess lifestyle and family history, as hidden cancers can cause shortened telomeres. Once the cause is identified through further testing, such as hormonal imbalances, hormone therapy or supplements may be prescribed to correct it. After treatment, some patients’ telomere length can improve, for example, from the equivalent of a 45-year-old to a 42-year-old.</p>
<div></div>
<div>However, to clearly analyze what the body lacks or has in excess that harms health, it is recommended to consult and undergo thorough testing with doctors at the Anti-Aging Medicine Center, Phyathai 3 Hospital. This is because vitamins or herbs available generally cannot determine the appropriate dosage for your body. Unlike medical care, which designs personalized treatment plans including vitamins, hormones, and medications specifically for you.</div>

Anti-aging is not just about reducing wrinkles or sagging but also slowing down the degeneration of various organs. Biological age can be measured using the telomere method before adjusting hormones to achieve balance for longevity.
