With the growth of age, human cells continue to divide and replicate, and the telomeres of the internal cellular chromosomes will gradually become shorter, leading to the accumulation of senescent cells in the body and making people slowly grow old.

Is there a way to slow people down from their aging? Scientists at Tel Aviv University in Israel, may release a new study to reduce the accumulation of old cells in healthy elderly people, according to media reports.

This is a treatment for inhaling high concentrations of oxygen in the presence of increased atmospheric pressure. The principle of its treatment is that hyperbaric oxygen significantly increases the oxygen dissolved in the blood, ensuring the diffusion of oxygen in human tissues. The Israeli study is to use hyperbaric oxygen in the blood as a test method, by observing the end of the chromosome in the blood cells are shortened, and the accumulation of aging cells in the body, to determine whether the hyperbaric oxygen has anti-aging and the effect.

Over the course of their 3-month trial, 35 healthy people over 64 years old received a total of 60 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Blood samples were collected before the trial, during the first and second month of the trial, and within two weeks after the trial. The subjects did not have any changes in lifestyle, diet, or medication throughout the study. The final results showed that the telomeres of chromosome ends in the blood cells increased by 20% to 38% compared with before the test, and the proportion of senescent cells in the whole cell population decreased by 11% to 37%. These two key indicators mean that the blood cells of these older people do become younger than their actual age.

Although the experiment is not widely representative, it is confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can affect the telomere length at the end of chromosomes in blood cells, and opens the door to further study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on cellular aging and to dig into its potential to prevent the aging process.

In fact, with the continuous development of science and technology, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been widely used, and anti-aging is only one of them.

Health care effect of hyperbaric oxygen

1.Eliminate fatigue, improve intelligence and work efficiency

The human brain consumes 20% of the whole body, and our brain is particularly sensitive to hypoxia. Insufficient oxygen and blood supply will cause physical exhaustion, dizziness, insomnia, memory loss and loss of appetite and other fatigue state, serious may also cause cerebral ischemia, brain cell damage, seriously affect the quality of daily life. The use of household hyperbaric oxygen chamber, oxygen inhalation can improve brain metabolism, promote circulation, play a certain role in improving health care.

2. Improve the body's resistance

Oxygen inhalation can enhance the material metabolism of human cells, tissues and organs, enhance the function of various organs, improve the body immunity, and have a good auxiliary health care effect on cerebral blood supply deficiency, cerebral infarction, and so on.

3.Help to improve the beauty and beauty care

High pressure oxygen inhalation can enhance the aerobic metabolism of human cells, strengthen skin nutrition, increase the elasticity of loose skin and reduce wrinkles; enhance the metabolic function of skin cells, reduce melanin pigmentation, reduce silt, and beautify the skin.

4. Reduce the damage of free radicals to the body

For fitness people, it can eliminate sports fatigue, restore physical strength, reduce sports injury, quickly eliminate the concentrated lactic acid, accelerate the removal of blood ammonia, and reduce the damage of free radicals to the body. When the exercise intensity is large, the free radicals in the body increase, and supplementing oxygen can quickly restore the activity of Na + -K + -ATP enzyme on the cell membrane, suggesting that the damage of free radicals to the cell membrane can be alleviated, which is of great significance for eliminating exercise fatigue and reducing exercise injury.

5. Improve the sub-health state

People living in modern society, often have low mood, irritability, easy insomnia, fatigue, chronic sore throat, repeated cold..., medical experts call it sub-health state. According to the survey, about 60% of the people are in sub-health state, and the proportion of young and middle-aged intellectuals is higher, and about 78% of the people are in sub-health state. The experiment has proved that the high-pressure oxygen inhalation is very effective in improving the sub-health state.
