Host dr carsten like a top. Hello and welcome to in good shape the oldest very high person who ever lived was a fringe lady named john always kind of more who lived one hundred twenty two years she started smoking when she was sixteen but she quit when she was one hundred seventeen but they have it as a habit so she read talks to you later when she was asked how she managed to get that old and stayed healthy she said well a lot of garlic a lot of sleep and a lot of pork why could this be the secret to longevity this is what im going to talk about here at the evangelical unshared tech center in here. I know wearing a bunny suit or actually its not that funny at all because its an age suit which simulates aging. What was this all about. This is that this is just suits this is the aging its called the age man. Is. The used in person to this companys industry seminaries. To assimilate what it means to be a mature person they have to speak it a bit louder because i cant hear you right this is preparation is all about yes for example as you told us the here protect this simulates do most of the higher frequencies for the frequencies and weve got the off veda mask those are always called its actually it could be your father you could be my father right the fish sometimes are here and we have a there are enough of the visual field and we have a full best city in the island so thats courses for example the the orange color Little Orange color and with the purring. And then we have the gloves that simulates for the first of all the opera was this in the hands as you can see you have restrictions in the mobility are very difficult for me to grip things here i mean its very hard interview for me right up because i cant really see him and i cant believe hear of it and try to reach your lips because its perfectly in tune to get purchased tell me as you noticing now you get more havea havea havea to have a vest with weights inside and you also have joints first if you miss in the elbow in the knee and also in the neck by a so we could call and get a wrist the foot of all the way this kind of suit but you should always put it to be a role that says this is the case they are in my book you know it depends on yourself as we call differential aging because of the rise of the patients in the three category so its a go go a slow go and no go patient the go go patient is a person whos absolutely in the the pen. And has a good life expectance logo a person is a patient who has who mobility is. Depends will fear but not much more than the completely and no go patient this patient thats very ill has a big burden of comorbidities palliative care. Has more money not a real Life Experience expectancy just understood how full of what you said because of im not really hearing quite properly but i guess there is a way to get older and still stay fit and i really at my of those people. Three men who are ready for action their heart miller is seventy one years old. They are doorbell noida is nearly eighty one and the Spring Chicken on the team is peters armor hes nearly sixty one so they have a combined age of two hundred thirteen years together they form a triathlon relating in. Miller starts out by swimming three point eight kilometers although he much prefers the two other disciplines. Two points this seems like take one for the team and do the swimming so we can compete together. He became a triathlete at the age of forty one he would have done it earlier if it hadnt been for the need to swim. A. Few min swimming one point five zero three point eight kilometers is like running to the moon as far as i was concerned. Today he feels more at home in the water he then passes the baton to teo doorbell might or. Hell cycle one hundred eighty kilometers the perfect discipline for someone who has long experience of competing in the ironman triathlon the other say i have to do the cycling. Not bad for an eighty year old he then passes. So the youngest member of the team peter zama who is going to run the marathon and. He too has done a number of triathlons in his time and knows what its like. Because i have Great Respect to go out until you especially to at his age i know one hundred eighty kilometers feels like. Three men who are still happy to take on a challenge despite their age. Im here with dr who have you not only the chief physician of the protestant accepted here in berlin but even of the department for geo beatrix and aging medicine and youre an advocate of science based in the us. Actually we focus on the physiological aging process its off the in our organs and these aging processes are the basis for a true lated deceases we just saw in the report there were three women were doing triathlons they were quite all but they were quite fit for nobody expects to be as healthy or as fit when he. Was like when he was eighteen you know sort of so what does Healthy Aging actually really we coined the term health span basically so this is the number of years that we can live without the burden of chronic disease this is what we would call health span as opposed to life span and of course we try to compress morbidity towards the end of life by all sorts of anti aging measures like prevention of not says and prevention off risk factors and of course trying to pursue a healthy and happy life basically these factors would promote a longer. Spent. There are always those famous stories of somebody who has. Always slow. A lot so. How is this possible that somebody whos the bright and healthy gets that old well i should say nature is just not fair you know these are the examples of the lucky ones whereas others who exercise and who lead a very healthy life may have a very rare disease in younger years so you have to see the statistics and on average people who. Prevent. Them from smoking who focus on a healthy diet who have Strong Social ties these on average will be better off in later life whereas others who smoke who are obese who have a high Blood Pressure they will have to hire burden of the season so this is just of course statistics so Lifestyle Changes are really worth it to do sports and exercise this is what we tell always in the show put out and do some exercise but why sports are helpful watch this. Now to get likes to keep fit he does cardio and Strength Training for three decades he did no sport at all but for the past three years hes exercise regularly and feels not only better but also younger. So that is what is most im told most physiological age has been reduced by several years or even a decade so i cant sit in the mirror as you did but i can definitely feel it was once you know lots of sister. Is a nurse at the Hanover Medical School and took part in the study there. The researchers wanted to know how the body responds when people who have been sudden terry for years become more active. Sixty seven volunteers were asked to exercise for half an hour a day. For six months. Just. If you do moderate Insurance Training without overdoing it it has numerous antiaging effects effectiveness i dont we seem to reverse like an aging of blood vessels and muscle function or to happen over all the bodily functions and physical performance of the test participants were on a par with those of colleagues who were fifteen years younger. Than you know thirty on. The test subjects were between forty and sixty five years of age regular exercise lead to improvements across the board better heart rates lower Blood Pressure and blood test results that resembled those of active people up to fifteen years their junior. And the one dozen other studies in the us looked at the Central Nervous system interaction between nerve cells there was a great study where sixty five year olds began walking and did so regularly for a year. Afterwards the connectivity in the Central Nervous system had improved significantly. Compared to eighteen year olds who never exercised the sixty five year olds who actually had a greater connectivity in some areas of the Central Nervous system. And had. An active. So what actually happens in our body when we exercise. To find out researchers at the silent University Medical center went a step further to examine what was happening on the cellular level. Working with blood samples from athletes they separated out the white blood cells or leukocytes. These reveal very clearly how we age the white blood cells contain the key that allows you to turn back the clock of your physiological age by a number of years. Its found inside the cell nucleus in the chromosomes which contain the Genetic Information or d. N. A. Each strand of d. N. A. Has a cap at the end as a telomere these caps protect the chromosome from becoming damaged. Every time our cells divide the telomeres are shortened until eventually they cease to do their job causing the cells to age cease functioning. Regular exercise appears to slow down this process. We carried out a preliminary study with socalled master athletes. These are people whove done Insurance Training all their lives trying marathon runners olympic champions world champions theyve trained on average for thirty five years and we found that in this group the aging of the selves was significantly reduced compared to people who never exercised at all that was the first indication that sport has a real antiaging effect on. The sport rejuvenate ourselves well what kinds of exercise and most effective in the antiaging process. The scientists had three groups to exercise for six months. One group training. The other two different forms of Insurance Training just went jogging normally the other did high intensity interval training. And the control Group Exercise it all two hundred sixty five people took part in the study. And the two groups that did Insurance Training the telomeres actually grew in length the training affectively reversed the protests and physiological age. And we measured the telomeres of all the test participants and found that the in durance Training Course the telomeres to grow by an average fifteen to twenty percent. This did not occur in the control group or amongst those doing weight training. So Insurance Training is a way to slow the aging process so. We were surprised by the result and very pleased because it underlines the importance of been durance exercise. As also what we know that endure and straining is most effective in combating the shortening of the telomeres and rejuvenate in the cells so the body does also need Strength Training you need a strong back and healthy shoulders so a combination of these training forms is best for Overall HealthStandards Court was the best. The Scientists SayStrength Training also causes the body to produce proteins that act as a protective coating over the telomeres further slowing down their deterioration but the key in all this is to exercise regularly. One body blow my workout twice a week for several hours. But twice a week i do some other activity a brisk war work in the gardens which is even gotten over my. Sports are not only said to lengthen the telomere is but to boost your confidence and to put you into a positive attitude is this important to zero of course it is i should say physical exercise is the universal medication that you have for basically all ailments may be psychological problems may be Health Problems often organ so sports is fine if you go ahead and have a fifteen minute walk every day this is better than doing nothing and having a forty five minute walk every day will be better than having a fifteen minute walk every day so it dont even necessarily have to go to a chair marred to really a strenuous sports just while its a. Moderate activity. Will be enough for you in order to maintain your health what is a good thing about exercise its not just the length of the tenure with. Well exercise. Basically effects all physical functions this is vascular function also the immune system has a benefit from exercise training so what you can see is the autonomic nervous system is improved cardiovascular function is improved also cognitive functions get better so its a universal impact that you have on basically every physical function body what kind of exercise we can recruit more culture vascular training more weight training. In cardiology recommendations focus very much on iraq big Insurance Training in chair trick medicine we prefer a combination of of three components which is Insurance Training and. Strength strengthening training like. Lets say bounce that you tear apart and also balance training so you should have a multifaceted Training Program in elderly people you could have you question my good you leave you have to us hes seventy five years old and she wants to know how we can this concert this physical constitution to see which he can do exercise training with Insurance Programs like five times a week forty five minutes walking or bicycle riding in combination with muscle strengthening programs and balance programs well continue our talk in just a moment about how to get all but many of us may ask why should i get old in the first place well one answer might be you can watch a lot of a result in good shape. Would you like a chance to win a fitness backpack just tell us your favorite home remedy or send us a picture for treating a stomach ache a cold were just stressed center to get in good shape at d w dot com. Be sure to write home remedy in the subject line we look forward to hearing from you. Supporters not the only antiaging medicine theres also nutrition and this is what im going to talk about with christina hi thanks for having me today every week i read some news about. Veggies so what the right combination chips what we know for sure is that we can a boil it down to single nutrients the nutrition is complex and the diet should always be seen in its complexity what we can recommend today in order to avoid nutrition related diseases or age related diseases which contribute to premature aging is a very good and balanced diet which is mainly a plant based diet consisting of plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables whole grains and like you know favorite women for coloration choose the more you should choose them all exactly and then one of the rules is to avoid overeating of course and to consider that nutrition is just one of the lifestyle factors contributing to it seems to be all about for you radicals which are those tiny particles in the body which can actually destroy your cells cell walls and nutrition can be helpful against it. Yeah its not all about the free radicals but free radicals are being constantly produced in our body as a byproduct of normal metabolism so they have their role and they are specifically produced by the immune cells for example to fight that syria or viral infections and of course environmental toxins or smoking increase or. Concentration of free radicals now when there is an imbalance between the free radicals and their antioxidant Defense System then that is what we call acceptance of stress and oxygen stress is harmful it can attack your d. N. A. Your lips your proteins and therefore exhibits. Stress is considered one reason for age related diseases in the was this being discussed currently as one of the main drivers of aging process per se but can we prevent those harmful effects of for free radicals with eating and Antioxidant Health yes the body has its own antioxidant system there and some and sematic and we also get a lot of antioxidants from the nutrition and they help neutralize these free radicals but there must be. A balance so if you choose to eat a lot of food with accident effects like fruits and vegetables should stick to a vegetarian diet altogether like its going to cause once more of you if you want to know if you will live longer and healthier life as a vegetarian the question is not easy to answer there are many studies on the topic but theyre not conclusive when it comes to longevity in vegetarians but what the studies have shown however is that vegetarians have a lower risk of getting diseases and that means that they tend to stay healthy longer which ultimately go when they grow older and use my metabolism changing do we need different food. There are slight differences in metabolism when you eat and that also has an effect on what you should eat what we know most about is storage for protein and here most recommendations go towards a higher in terms of protein in order to counteract the loss of muscle mass thanks so much for having me today even getting older is about quality in life and its very difficult to keep quality if youre getting confused like an alzheimers disease but science has new answers about this disease. In the form might and hydroponics income want to keep fit not only physically but also mentally. Thats why they joined a study on how older people can train and maintain their cognitive abilities. The study is being conducted at mines university hospital. Volunteers spent four weeks undergoing an intensive workout with exercises that train memory and concentration. Focusing on all areas of mental performance so thats basically memory and how you can remember things better your ability to concentrate your ability to plan and take actions basically how organized you are and then also how flexible you are. Two hundred people aged sixty and over but taking part in the germany wide study. All of them are healthy and have normal cognitive ability. Enjoy doing the exercises with traffic signs but there were others that i didnt enjoy and just left out because i thought oh no not again im not doing that overall i found it challenging. Muscles and you have your favorite exercises like this one for example and then there were others that were just really tough. Studies have shown that as people age they learn best if the two halves of their brain are well interconnected. Thats something that can be seen on an m. R. I. Scan the aim of this study is to explore how this connectivity can be improved. On an m. R. I. Scans we can see theres been an improvement in connectivity now the question is does it also lead to improved performance. At. To measure this the participants undergo extensive neurological tests at the start of the study after four weeks of training and then three months after the study has ended. Physical exercise also plays a role in retaining cognitive function to test subjects both play tennis ball games are great for training coordination as are a robot and dance to retain your cognitive skills and ability to learn you need to train both mind and body. Fast food must when you have to find something you enjoy and youre good if you hate dancing forcing yourself will bring you any cognitive benefits. Exercising our brains and our bodies can help us to stay mentally sharp well into old age thank you you know. Is there really something we can do to prevent alzheimers and dementia. Well partly yes actually because these diseases they haue a fatal course which means you cannot really prevented completely but you can modulate the theseus course and can prevent the delay or delay the incidence of the disease to a certain degree by a Healthy Lifestyle for instance by exercising by not having cardiovascular disease for instance. What role do joy and happiness played the role of aging oh oh i have a good message for you because. It turns out that elderly people are quite happy actually the majority of them and they have a good outlook on life seeing that the glass is rather half full instead of half empty i should say now in this time so we have the chance to be rather happy in higher years so i think this is an optimistic view on all day and perhaps we can enjoy it thank you so much for having me today in your clinic. And see you again next week and no matter how old you try to stay in good shape you a. Few. Moments. Ago. I wanted a new studio could take eighty nine hours.
