Aging can be categorized into two types and due to two types of factors, intrinsic and extrinsic.
<ul>
<li>Intrinsic aging is a genetically predetermined process that occurs naturally.</li>
<li>Extrinsic aging is a result of outside factors chosen by you, such as where you live, your stress levels, and your lifestyle habits (like smoking).</li>
</ul>

Types of aging

<ul>
<li>Programmed aging theories say that our cells have a predetermined lifespan that’s encoded into our bodies. These include:</li>
<li>Gene theory - suggests that specific genes turn “on” and “off” over time, causing aging.</li>
<li>Endocrine theory - here, aging is caused by changes in hormones.</li>
<li>Immunological theory - this is the idea that the immune response is designed to decline(autoimmunity), leading to disease and aging.</li>
</ul>

Programmed theories of aging

<ul>
<li>Wear and tear theory - cells break down and become damaged over time.</li>
<li>Genome instability theory -aging happens because the body loses its ability to repair DNA damage.</li>
<li>Cross-linkage theory - aging is due to the buildup of cross-linked proteins, which damages cells and slows biological functions.</li>
<li>Rate-of-living theory - an organism’s rate of metabolism determines its lifespan.</li>
<li>Free radical theory - aging is due to the buildup of oxidative stress, caused by free radicals.</li>
<li>Mitochondrial theory - mitochondrial damage releases free radicals and causes aging.</li>
</ul>

Error theories of aging

<ul>
<li>Telomere theory - Telomeres protect the ends of your chromosomes as they multiply. Over time, telomeres shorten, which is associated with disease and aging.</li>
<li>Programmed senescence theory - Cellular senescence occurs when cells stop dividing and growing, but don’t die.</li>
<li>Stem cell theory - Stem cells can turn into other cells, which helps repair tissue and organs. But the function of stem cells declines over time, potentially contributing to aging.</li>
<li>Longevity gene theory - This is the idea that certain genes extend lifespan.</li>
</ul>

Genetic theories of aging

It says that an organism begins aging after they have reached their peak of reproduction and have passed down adaptive traits.
<ul>
<li>Mutation accumulation - This theory presumes that random mutations accumulate later in life.</li>
<li>Antagonistic pleiotropy - According to this theory, genes that promote fertility early in life have negative effects later on.</li>
<li>Disposable soma theory - The theory claims that when more metabolic resources are directed toward reproduction, the less is put toward DNA repair. The result is cell damage and aging.</li>
</ul>

Evolutionary theory of aging

<ul>
<li>Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) - AGEs develop when fats or protein are exposed to sugar. High levels may lead to oxidative stress, which speeds up aging.</li>
<li>Heat shock response - Heat shock proteins protect cells from stress, but their response decreases as we age.</li>
<li>Damage accumulation - Normal chemical reactions damage DNA, proteins, and metabolites over time.</li>
</ul>

The biochemical theory of aging

In most parts of the world, women live longer than men . This is due to several biological, social, and environmental factors.
<ul>
<li>Estrogen is the female sex hormone, and has been found to have anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects, which may protect women from certain diseases.</li>
<li>In contrast, the male sex hormone, testosterone may suppress the immune system.</li>
</ul>

Women live longer than men

<ul>
<li>Eat a nutritious diet - Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit processed foods .</li>
<li>Stay active - Aim for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week.</li>
<li>Avoid tobacco - Tobacco speeds up aging.</li>
<li>Drink alcohol in moderation - Alcohol increases your risk of chronic disease.</li>
<li>Attend regular checkups</li>
<li>Know your family history - To have appropriate screening or get early treatment for potential chronic diseases.</li>
<li>Engage your brain - by doing brain exercises.</li>
<li>Wear sunscreen - Sunscreen protects your skin from UV radiation, which can cause premature aging.</li>
</ul>

How to slow down aging

There are about 300+ theories of aging, some which have been broken down here. Along with them, certain lifestyle changes which could slow down the physiological effects of aging. is also given.

Some aging theories suggest cells have a predetermined lifespan, while others claim it’s caused by damage, genetics, evolution, or biochemical reactions.

Why Do We Age, and Can Anything Be Done to Stop or Slow it?

Quantum biology has been shown in both theory and experiments to hold the key to many recorded biological phenomena. Quantum biology deals with all interactions at the sub-cells level including many logic-defying functions of the smallest particles that we know of.Quantum mechanics is the route to understanding the behaviors of subatomic particles and their interactions. Biological units are nothing more than different configurations of subatomic particles working dynamically together to serve their survival and procreations.

Quantum Biology

They are composed of molecular computational systems interacting with received information then decoding and generating responses. For this reason it would be natural to expect that quantum physics plays key roles in biology.Scientists are rapidly finding new cases of quantum phenomena acting in many different biological processes. These include instances of: Quantum superposition in photons during photosynthesis, and quantum tunneling in electrons within enzymes acting as catalysts for reactions, between organic compounds.

With all these cases where quantum mechanics play significant roles in biological functions, the question of how could this affect our own DNA now comes up, which is an emerging field that scientists all over the world are starting to pick apartLiving entities are composed of atoms and molecules with specific structures that convert them to specialized biological cells acting as bio-constructors. Living cells continuously acquire and use energy to power their quantum mechanical activities. These dynamical processes differentiate them from ordinary matter.

In doing so,the cells become specialized computational machines with specific capabilities to receive,process and respond to bits of information in accordance with instructions stored within their governing DNA and in their stored memories.There is a weird phenomenon observed in biology.The DNA issues instructions for the cells’ mechanical parts to be carried out.The RNA acts as the information carriers, i.e.the messenger, which passes the instructions to the mechanical part of the cell. Prior to delivering the information for action, the information is verified by an agent known as the RNAi.

If the information has been corrupted then the instructions are ignored and not carried out by the cells. Biologists can’t explain how the verification process works. In other words how would the RNAi know what the correct issued instructions by the DNA should be? This process is similar to a well designed and secure software where information is checked for possible corruption or viruses prior to accepting it. We postulate that the RNAi verification process looks for the presence of certain symmetry code unique to the specific living entity prior to implementation.

The absence of such code would indicate that the carried message has been corrupted, hence permission is not given to proceed with implementing the instruction. For example if that DNA instruction is to produce the protein for giving a skin cell its colour and the instruction was ignored then that skin cell will be colourless.

Consciousness can be defined as an interactive information decoder interpreting the received superpositioned digital information to reflect the reality we experience. Our biological computational neural system compares the received new information with that already stored in our brains, which forms our memories and value systems. Therefore, our response to the received information is the result of a process of evaluation aimed at complying with the overall stored priorities. Most biological entities prevailing priorities are to survive and procreate to ensure the survival of the genes.

Consciousness

The stored information templates for evaluating the received information and issuing instructions are either genetically hard coded as in most animals, or acquired throughout life long contacts and experiences or a combination both. All routes lead to specific neural connections which shape the wiring of the neural systems. In the case of human beings, each change in the wiring of our brain leads to a change in our stored information templates, which are key to determining our reactions to new received information. The process of updating the wiring of our brains is determined by being open

minded and reflective.They are key to learning, improving the quality of lives and long term survival of our genes.Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brains’ quantum constructors to rearrange the bonding between the composing atoms and molecules,i.e.updating the wiring of our brains.This leads to creating different interpretations and responses to the received information. Electromagnetism is key to the process involving the working of the brains.The brain consumes on average 25%of the energy we consume to create the required electrical signals for communication between its different cells.

Neuroplasticity

It is well established that our responses to stimuli is determined by the stored information in our brains. Our free will as human beings is limited to our abilities to evaluate the consequences of our actions and then adjust the wiring of our brain (our stored information templates) for better future responses, which are compatible with our core objectives. Those who are blessed with greater abilities to learn and adjust the wiring of their brains will have a better chance to survive, procreate and experience joyous living.

The brain has its own building mechanism to update the received information so that they are compatible with formats which can be handled by its computational capabilities. Experiments in visual psychology have revealed that the brain will often construct sensations that override the visual input if the brain judges that the latter is too improbable. The brain would suppress the improbable mixed information in favour of what it is familiar with and thus compute what is more probable. For example during rapid movement of the eyes, the visual information is suppressed and what we see is largely

virtual reality created by the brain from our relevant memory templates.When we look into a mirror and move our eyes left to right, we cannot observe our own eyes movements. This demonstrates the phenomenon of suppressing the rapid eyes movements,i.e.our visual sensitivity is much reduced.Eye movements are closely linked to attention shifts.Thus what we see does not depend entirely on what is out there but also to a considerable extent on what the brain computes to be most probably out there. So we can ask how extensive is this filling-in process,what is its normal function and how is it done?

Some light on these questions may come from digital television compression technology. This seeks to send the maximum possible signal with the minimum computational power compatible with an adequate picture. Sending every detail of every scene over the TV system is efficient but carries a high computational cost. This is called the I programme. So TV engineers have supplemented this with a second programme, P, that derives the most probable scenes following scene ‘A’ based on the system’s memory and its previous experience of such scene sequences.

This is supplemented by a third (‘P frame’) programme that records only differences between scenes. The P programme is inefficient but cheap in computational cost. So the art is in finding the optimum mixture of I and P.

The DNA of all biological units are composed of four letters. Each letter represents a given combination of biochemical molecules. The molecules in turn are composed of specific atoms’ arrangements. Therefore, each letter of the DNA represents a pre-assembled digital code composed of strings and singularities.The way the DNA four letters are sequenced determine the nature and characteristics of the biological units. The role of information in managing the existence of life is clear from the way the DNA is structured as sets of digital instructions.

DNA as pre-assembled instruction codes

Adjusting the sequencing of the four letters is already being harnessed through the revolutionary technique of Gene Editing.We speculate that the evolutionary processes and the survival for the fittest principle are not random but they follow embedded biological deep learning algorithms within the genetic codes of each living entity. The specific genetic codes could have evolved (or designed) to simply monitor the levels and frequencies of using specific tissues within any living entity during its lifespans. This is in line with the key biological principle, “use it or lose it”.In a simplified

Embedded deep learning logarithms

version, it is similar to how google makes predictions based on your previous searches.The stored statistical information by the biological entities are collected and passed, most likely through the Y chromosome, to future generations. The purpose is. to emphasize the importance of the increasingly used specific tissues. After a few generations the genetic code of that biological entity get adapted to improve its fitness capabilities.

This could be seen as a very advanced build-in type of biological deep learning, similar to our attempts to create a digital based artificial intelligence with the capacity to update the survival of the model by meeting the overall objective for which it is created. Evolution of new species can be seen as similar to a computer game where the players cannot move to higher levels unless they collect certain points.

The only reality we know is the one our brains manufacture from the very limited information it is designed to receive and process. The possibility that reality is as we perceive is almost zero. What we experience is a convenient way to keep us in the cosmic game by receiving, processing, interpreting and transmitting the limited information we are designed to process and generate. A build-in program exists within all living beings, where repeated life supporting actions over a few generations lead to permanent genetic fitness improvement to thrive and dominate.

Biological entities’ fitness capabilities

Different biological entities possess/develop different fitness improvements capabilities. Using these capabilities lead to their continuous evolution. For those species where environmental changes are faster than their fitness’ improvements capabilities, will ultimately lose the battle to survive. For this reason we need to wake up to the danger of destroying the environment at the current speed, which is leading to the extinction of many species, as they have no time to adapt. Our rapidly changing lifestyle, including congregating in densely populated communities, our intensive farming,

widespread use of new chemicals and indiscriminate use of antibiotics in our food chain are all giving bacteria and viruses greater opportunities to evolve and threaten our very survival and also survival of many animals and plants.Humans are proceeding at a great speed to improve the biofitness capabilities of many biological entities which meet their needs by changing their genetic information.This is in effect a means of overriding the naturally embedded logarithmic processes in those entities andreplacing them by direct human actions to create the types of animals and plantstomeetourneeds.

All living beings are interactive participants in an energy-mass-information equivalence based universe. They represent specific types of information processing entities with causal powers determined by their fitness capabilities (encoded in theur genetic).With our causal powers we can reasonably suggest that our biological software has evolved to receive compressed (superpositioned)information and then analyze it by our network quantum computational units (our brain cells).Our perceived physical reality is a construct of the electrical signals being processed within our network of quantum com

Interactive biological quantum computational capabilities

Being players endowed with computational capabilities suggests that we may ultimately understand how the universe works at the fundamental level and advance our knowledge so that we can communicate with other alien participants. This is similar to developing a deep learning artificial intelligence (AI), which is designed to have consciousness, communicate with other machines and ultimately contribute to our total knowledge. As stated above, consciousness is the ability to receive information, compare it with our stored information templates or set of instructions, and then create a response in

It is even conceivable to conclude that we would reach a stage in our knowledge to ultimately speed up our evolution from our current fragile biological form to ultimately become a machine based species with more chances of survival as our environment greatly deteriorate.Until we succeed in guaranteeing the correct transformation we need to protect our biological existence from the potential domination and abuse by our created AI based units.

Next stage in human evolution

This may necessitate that we implant in the AI machines specific logarithms dealing with ethical values plus sufficient checks and balances to achieve these objectives. We may also resort to planting a self destruct mechanism, not accessible by our created AI units, to ensure our ultimate survival. Probably the best we can hope for in the long run is that our created AI will provide us with a heaven on Earth in return for providing some assistance in their scientific research endeavours.

All living entities are fundamentally similar to other non-living matter in terms of their composition from the two fundamental particles (FPs), the strings and the singularities with their binary…

The fight or flight response (also known as the acute stress response), refers to a physiological reaction that occurs when we are in the presence of something that is mentally or physically terrifying. • The fight-or-flight response is triggered by the release of hormones that prepare your body to either stay and deal with a threat or to run away to safety. The term "fight-or-flight" represents our ancient ancestors' choices when faced with danger in their environment. • The physiological and psychological response to stress prepares the body to react to the danger.

Fight Or Flight Response 

In response to acute stress, the body's sympathetic nervous system is activated by the sudden release of hormones. • After the threat is gone, it takes between 20 to 60 minutes for the body to return to its pre-arousal levels. Physical signs that can indicate the fight-or-flight response has kicked in include: • Dilated pupils: In times of danger, the body prepares itself to be aware of its surroundings • Pale or flushed skin: Blood flow to the surface area is reduced • Rapid heart rate and breathing: Provides the body with oxygen • Trembling: The muscles tense and become primed for action

What Heppens During Fight Or Flight Response 

The fight or flight response plays a critical role in how we deal with stress and danger in our environment. When we are under threat, the response prepares the body to either fight or flee. • The fight-or-flight response can be triggered by both real and imaginary threats. By priming your body for action, you are better prepared to perform under pressure. The stress created by the situation can actually be helpful, making it more likely that you will cope effectively with the threat. • while it happens automatically, It doesn't mean that it is always accurate.

Why The Fight Or Flight Response Is Important 

The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction that either prepares our bodies to stay and fight or to flee. Learn how this response works.

Plastic pollution creating microplastics is a growing concern for human health as emerging studies find them everywhere from drinking water to in fish, seafood and birds. Last year, the World Health Organization urgently called for more research into the health impacts of microplastics and a crack down on plastic pollution.

Microplastic particles are now detectable in human organs🤔

Now another <a href="https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/pressroom/newsreleases/2020/august/micro-and-nanoplastics-detectable-in-human-tissues.html">new study </a>presented yesterday at the American Chemical Society (ACS) Fall 2020 Virtual Meeting has found evidence of chemicals from plastics inside human organs and developed a new method for detecting microplastics in human tissue samples.

Evidence of a new study💡

Scientists define microplastics as plastic fragments less than 5 mm, about 0.2 inches (D). Much previous research on microplastics and nanoplastics have focused on its accumulation and effects in marine life, with <a href="https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40572-018-0206-z">particular focus on seafood </a>that human's consume. Microplastics have been associated with <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969719346169">neurotoxic effects in wild fish </a>and increase oxidative damage which can theoretically lead to a greater risk of cancer.

📌Specific definition of microplastics 

Humans <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/oct/22/microplastics-found-in-human-stools-for-the-first-time">do ingest microplastics </a>and they do at least pass through the digestive system as evidenced by the finding that they were widely found in fecal samples from people all over the world. Very little is known about whether they go elsewhere in the body after ingestion or what health effects they have.

Will wearing gloves help you to protect from Coronavirus?

Human tissue samples from a large repository which was set up to study neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and developed a new method to test the samples for plastics. They artificially spiked the samples with microplastics to test their new method and were able to detect the plastics.

📢Sample of ideacy 

The scientists tested 47 tissue samples from 4 different organs, finding a chemical used to make some plastics in every one.
