Aging Process Can Postponed for 20 Years

Anti-aging process is not merely a matter which is not easily wrinkled skin. Anti-aging treatment currently is how to make life better so that the opportunity could be the longer one's life. Because the body's aging process could be delayed 10-20 years.

This delays the aging process can occur if treatment is done properly and there is proof. But unfortunately for many people in Indonesia believe in all matters relating to the mystical.

As a result, compared with other countries according to a study in 2007 found that the life expectancy of Indonesia, including low at only 66.7 years. While Malaysia for 70 years, 80 years Japan and the United States for 90 years.

"People believe that the birth and death has been prescribed by God, so many people have become resigned and was not trying to fix his life. This is certainly going to affect their behavior," says Prof. Dr. Dr. Wimpie Pangkahila, SpAnd, FAACS, which is also the Chairman of the Program Masters specificity of Anti-Aging Medicine.

This was expressed in a national symposium event PERKAPI (Society of Medicine Anti-Aging Indonesia with the theme of Prevention and Early Aging at Hotel JW Marriot, Jakarta, Saturday (05/15/2010).

Aging is a process that occurs in a young person becomes older. In theory the aging process is divided into two aging resulting from accidents (accidental) and aging because of something that is already programmed.

"Until now, aging is still a mystery and experts trying to find out where the most correct theory," said Prof. Dr. John Kisjanto, PhD, SpPD-KKV.

Prof. John tells this aging process can actually delay or wait another 10-20 years. Yet in fact since the year 1993 has been known anti-aging medicine (anti aging).

"This treatment should be done properly and there is basic evidence (evidence base), so someone who used it did not suffer or feel lack of something. But in fact make it a more fit and also increase the age (lifespan) a person," said Prof. John, who is also chairman PERKAPI .

Anti-aging treatment should be based on the theory of science and medical technology is also useful for early detection, because a person should not wait until a new pain treatment.

Therapy is also done for prevention, treatment and of course all the changes associated with aging and disease so that it can extend life and live a healthy person.

To obtain maximum results, people should be more careful in choosing a treatment for anti aging. Because not everyone who claims expertise in anti-aging thing really have the education or anti-aging backgroud. There are some people who just attended a seminar or workshop has been claimed as anti-aging specialist.

"So the community should seek first what the background of these people, do not just believe with the website or the internet because everyone can make a blog. And also do not fully absorb the outstanding commercials," said Prof. Dr. Wimpie dr.

Everyone should want to stay young and have a long life expectancy, so the issue of anti aging will increase rapidly.

But the public should be more careful in choosing and make sure that the treatment used is based on the evidence base and not using methods that have not been tested.
