The interlocutor of socialbites.ca, geriatrician, neurologist, head of the gerontology department of Moscow State University MOIP, says that hypoxic training, which has an effect on the body, is the only geroprotector whose effectiveness has been proven. MV Lomonosov Valery Novoselov.
Old age is associated with hypoxia. The elderly do not have enough ATP (a molecule that plays an important role in energy exchange in the cells of living organisms), so all levels of oxygen homeostasis are impaired. There are common age-related changes called atherosclerosis, especially in the vessel walls.
That is why, according to Novoselov, it is necessary to train young people with hypoxic exposure in order for the body to rebuild and get used to living in this mode. Then the lack of oxygen in old age will not have such a negative effect on the person.
“To me, this is almost the only comprehensible method of geroprophylaxis. Unlike any dietary supplement and drug that only works at the level of model organisms – flies, worms and rodents. Since the hypoxic training method has no side effects and is scientifically proven, it is now used by all biohackers in the world, especially American businessmen.
According to the expert, prolonged hypoxic education leads to epigenetic changes in a person (changes in gene activity under the influence of the environment).
“These changes are not hereditary, but still, at the end of life, two identical twins will look different, one of which is under the influence of hypoxia,” Novoselov said.
In the near future, Novoselov is confident that the method will be included in the rehabilitation of military personnel with post-traumatic stress disorder.
