Six Ways to Look and Feel Younger

With something for everyone let’s take a look.

1. Lengthen Your Telomeres

As time passes the telomeres at the ends of our chromosomes get shorter. This shortening is what causes ageing.  But there is an enzyme within our genes that can undo the ageing process, all we have to do is activate it.  One Truth 818 was created from Nobel Prize-winning breakthroughs, $33 million in research, and 11 years of investigation.  Only TAM-818, the active ingredient in One Truth 818 can switch on the telomerase gene to reverse the ageing process.

 

2. Ensure Your Skincare Isn’t Ageing You

Are your skincare products actually ageing you faster? Are you using products that promises to increase your cell turnover and bring fresh cells to the surface?  Are you creating damage and inflammation in order to repair your skin and hopefully look younger? Are you an exfoliation junkie?  If you’ve you answered yes to any of these questions, then your answer is ‘yes’!  You’re speeding up the ageing process of your skin.

 

3. Lasers Are Not the Answer

Promotional materials about laser treatments talk about encouraging the growth of collagen and repairing scar tissue and sun damage. They talk of light and heat ‘energy’. What they don’t like to make obvious, is how they do this and the long-term aftereffects. The issue with these aggressive treatments is they’re only focused on the immediate look and feel of the skin, not how the person will look in consequent years. The surface of your skin will look younger through forced repair. However, forcing repair accelerates telomere shortening, so your younger-looking skin is actually made of older cells.  Your youthful appearance will be shorter-lived.  You’ve aged yourself faster.

4. Get Rid of Senolytic Cells

What happens when telomeres are beyond ‘critically short’? When telomeres get too short the cell can no longer divide and the cell dies. Sometimes it self-destructs (which is preferable, actually) and other times it hangs around unable to function properly, aptly nicknamed a ‘zombie cell’. 

New research into senolytic cells teaches us some alarming facts about the impact of these zombie cells. Not only can they get in the way of normal processes, but they can also encourage healthy cells to malfunction as if recruiting an army of zombies. Sadly, even a small fraction of zombie cells can hinder healing, immunity and health. That’s why One Truth 818’s, ‘Eliminate’, our senolytic therapy, is designed to clear these senescent cells as quickly as possible to avoid the damage they can inflict.

 

5. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle

The most obvious, it would actually be better stated as ‘avoid an unhealthy lifestyle’ because while there are several things we can do to make ourselves younger, there is also a range of activities that we can (and sometimes all too often do!) that very effectively age our cells faster than normal including excessive alcohol intake, smoking, vaping, being overweight and inactive, and high-stress levels. What may surprise you is that we’re better off simply avoiding these things than seeking out things we think are good for us while continuing to indulge in things that are bad.

And finally, always remember that…
