Researchers from the Medical school of the University of Minnesota in the US found that a natural substance of fisetin may slow aging at the cellular level, improve health and increase life expectancy. The flavonoid contained in fisetin available products – fruits and vegetables.
According to EurekAlert, published a report about the work of scientists, fisetin sources are cucumbers, onions, apples, peaches, kiwi, grapes, persimmons, strawberries. According to experts, regular intake fisetin in the body contributes to the preservation of health even in old age.
It is symptomatic that previous studies have linked positive action fisetin the best protection of human aging and Alzheimer’s disease. Experts from the Medical schools were able to find an explanation of the mechanism of this connection and also have revealed the influence fisetin in older organisms.
According to scientists, the aging and deterioration of the cells of the body, they are “off”, but if the old cells still exist, for their destruction is taken the immune system. The older the person becomes, the worse his immune system to cope with the purification of the extinct cells, and they accumulate, causing inflammation. On the background of inflammation substances are released that can damage the integrity of the tissues and cause tumors.
Using the technology of mass cytometry on aging mice, the researchers were able to establish that fisetin just reduces to the old and dangerous cells in the body, and manifests this property at any age. Thus allow the experts, “a cure for old age” can be quite affordable, “enough to include in your diet the required amount of vegetables and fruits”. The question of the right dosage of substances, the scientists intend to solve in the near future.
