How fast we Age
Medical science is advancing at an amazing pace. Think of genetic engineering and its impact on drug discovery; stem cell technology/genetic engineering on organ transplant and management of diseases like HIV/AIDS. All sorts of imaging techniques make for easy disease diagnosis and telemedicine makes it possible for experts to diagnose diseases and interprete results thousands of miles away. Of particular interest is the way medical scientists and practitioners now think of how we age from diseases. Aging is believed to be harvested from childhood or early adult life from infectious diseases and environmental pollutants that we had come in contact with or the lifestyle we had lived. We age faster than we are genetically predestined to. Most chronic diseases like diabetes mellitus, Alzheimer's disease, heart failure, arthritis, Parkinson's disease, emphysema are results of these early life harvests.
