Metfomin is a medicine, but maybe the secret of youth, although it is used to control type 2 diabetes. Scientists now believe that it also slows down the aging of our cells, which will prevent the onset of diseases associated with old age. They are already exploring their possibilities.
But how does this drug stop our cells from aging? Cause it’s the medicine activates a series of chemical reactions that protect them and slow down wear
although “it also affects the aging of telomeres, which are molecular mechanisms associated with life and with what is produced as we get older and our vital capacity decreases,” Lorenzo, a spokesman for the Society of General and Family Physicians, explained to LaSexta. Armenteros.Thus, if our cells do not age, then age-related diseases do not appear: for example, cardiovascular diseases or malignant tumors. But Armenteros also clarifies that “you can also see that chemotherapy in people taking metformin also has a better effect.”
The data is certainly very promising. According to a study published in the scientific journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, The life expectancy of diabetics taking this medicine increases by 30–40%.
compared to those who do not take it.It is for these reasons that metformin is currently number one on the list of possible anti-aging drugs. But, as experts note, there is still a lot of research ahead. Salvador Macip, director of health sciences research at the Open University of Catalonia, argues that “it is possible that we will not know that metformin can be prescribed to people without diabetes without risk and with positive effects for perhaps another ten years.” So for now, we’ll have to wait a few years to find out if this really is the elixir of youth.
