What is Antiaging Medicine?
There is a conceptual difference between chronological age and biological age: the latter is considered more accurate in reflecting the actual physical, psycho-emotional and socio-environmental state of an individual.
Poor nutrition, chronic stress, insufficient rest and non-restorative sleep, lack of regular physical exercise contribute to premature cellular aging, the result of an increase in free radicals, inflammation and cellular oxidation itself.
The objective of Antiaging Medicine is to increase the body’s immune system and help cellular recovery, reducing this aging, providing nutrients and antioxidants through food, nutritional supplementation and lifestyle habits.
What is integrative health?
WHO defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. This is a holistic conception of health, since it takes into account the different aspects that affect people’s well-being.
However, in biological medicine we go one step further, because we understand the health-disease binomial as a continuum, a balance. Health is not something static, but our organism is constantly working to maintain it.
We also understand that diseases, especially chronic diseases, are pathological processes that develop over a long period of time, which begin with a bad habit or contact with a toxic substance, for example. And these small exposures added between them and with the own factors of the organism will lead us to lose the balance and to get sick.
