Stay Young - Rejuvenate yourself with new age technology

We live a mortal life and as we are born we have to grow older and die one day. From the very day of our birth, our body undergoes many changes to indicate which stage we are at in our life. In childhood we are awarded with a beautiful, soft and wrinkle free skin. As we grow older our skin meets scratches, wrinkles etc. indicating that the beautiful skin we had will never come back again! Not only skin but churning of bones, pain in different parts of our body, waning eyes, decreasing energy, unexpected collapse of organs, fading hearing, gray hairs, baldness, memory loss…..etc. indicates the growing age.

But now with new emerging technologies, man can beat age, or, at least, we do not let the age interfere our lifestyle. At the age of 60 when our eyesight starts deteriorating – which is a common old age phenomenon, called Age-related Molecular Degeneration (AMD). With the ultimate help of New Age Technology, we can bring back our waning eyes to life, and perform the tasks which are not possible with the eyesight of an old age. New techniques used called photodynamic theory (PDT) and Transpupillary Thermotherapy (TTT) ensure that the eyesight will not decline further. TTT involves zapping the targeted area of the retina with a specific type of laser. In PDT a light-sensitive dye called verteporfin is used to detect and destroy new vessels in the eye. It is painless and takes only 20-25 minutes, though one has to avoid direct sunlight or bright indoor light for five days after treatment. Both the techniques are quite effective in most of the cases and help improve the eyesight.

There are new technologies which are helping maintain each part of our body make and feel young. Millions remain young or, at least, look so by opting to scalp or freeze their way to youth: plastic surgery, Botox, chemical peels, laser treatments. Synthetic hormones are helping blow away blues for both men and women. New drugs help build bones so that they stay as long as you do! Enlarged prostates are zapped by laser treatment.

There are treatments for:

Hair: Baldness can now be checked by hair restoration surgery. Hair is transplanted from another area to the bald patch. It then grows normally.

Brain: A new electrode tames tremors in Parkinson’s Alzheimer’s victims find hope in drugs called ACE1 inhibitors.

Eyes: Declining eyesight can be restored by two ways. One, by using only a laser. The other with a light sensitive dye. Both destroy the problem part of eye.

Teeth: For those with no time to take out dentures, titanium screws come to the rescue. Fixed into the jaw, they support teeth or dentures as the roots of teeth do.

Libido: Post-viagra, it just gets better. A new drug for erectile dysfunction, Levitra, acts within 15 minutes and the effect lasts 24 hours. Another product Cialis is effective for four days. Both are pills. Sprays are in the pipeline.

Skin: Just strip the top layer off, courtesy lasers and chemicals. The regenerated skin looks younger.

Hormones: Synthetic hormones-oestrogen for women, testosterone for men- help keep energy level up. They protect the body from some diseases but increase the risk of some cancers.

Bones: With a little care, old age fractures can be history. Bone densitometers can detect osteroporosis early. A range of new bone building drugs ensure the bones remain strong.

Joints: Chemicals like glucosamine, hyaluronan and diacerein work well in early stages.

Please Note: The above said techniques have their effects and side effects too. These techniques help in some areas but may cause some problems too. So before considering any of the above treatment, just go and ask your doctor if you can continue with the selected treatment with your present body condition.
