Abstract

The pace and limits of aging are highly variable when measured on biological or physiological spectra. Aging (degenerative) changes in an organism stem from the status and patterns of cellular metabolism and related pathways. Those pathways which foster accelerated physiological aging are encouraged by the biochemical profiles of chronic inflammation. Some refer to this aging viewpoint as inflammaging. Strategies to biologically suppress chronic inflammation are inherently “anti-aging” in nature. Therefore, we have the ability and choice to influence our own pace of physiological aging. Such anti-aging approaches significantly overlap with regenerative medicine strategies through lifestyle, nutritional, physical, and environmental factors. Regenerative treatments fostering a more physiologically youthful, and anti-inflammatory biology are availableand are expanding rapdily.
