There are three research proven ways to turn back the clock with your health and fitness: Intermittent fasting, a low glycemic index diet and high intensity interval training. Intermittent fasting, which is going without any food or drink (other than non-calorie hydration) for a period of 8 to 20 hours. Fasting triggers something called autophagy in your body’s cells. Basically, you are giving your cells the “break” they need to get DNA debris and waste products out. When they are so busy processing the products of your food being delivered to it, it reduces the amount of time your cells get to repair themselves. Research shows that fasting is the most effective way to reverse cell age in your body. Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are the major contributors to cell ageing. AGEs speed up the aging process in your body and cause damage over time to your organs, your joints, arterial walls and skin. Where do these AGE’s come from? AGE’s are produced when a person has high blood sugar. This doesn’t just happen in people with Diabetes. AGEs are produced any time a person reaches a certain blood sugar high threshold. What spikes your blood sugar? Wheat-flour based foods, sugar, fmost fruit and most grains. Looking up “low Glycemic index foods” is the best way to ensure that your body’s production of AGEs is minimal (your joints and arterial walls will thank you). Research also shows that HIIT type training has many more benefits than traditional slower to moderate paced exercise. HIIT has been shown to stimulate a significantly higher, total workout calorie burn and EPOC (post workout afterburn) compared to continuous steady pace training. There is also a significantly better increase VO2 max, strengthening cardiovascular output as well as size and number of mitochondria, increasing energy production (and guess what, that mitochondria production makes new cells and large mitochondria makes your existing cells act younger!)

What body part does not age?

Answer: The eyeball is the only organism which does not grow from birth. It is fully grown when you are born.

Do Eyeballs Grow With Age?

Mystery Hour Question

My daughter told me that eyeballs stay the same size throughout your life, hence the reason babies have bug eyes. But that sounds ridiculous to me. Is it right?

Shazzy, Ilford

Answer

** Definitive **

Name: Tim, Wimbledon

Qualification: Studied human biology (but am now a cabbie).

Answer: The eyeball is the only organism which does not grow from birth. It is fully grown when you are born. When you look at a baby’s face, so see mostly iris and little white. As the baby grows, you get to see more and more of the eyeball.

(James O’Brien: I’m not having it. Your answer is based on nothing!)

** Definitive **

Name: Tony, Chadwell Heath

Qualification: Retinal photographer for the NHS

Answer: The surgeon cabbie was right! Eyeballs are the same size when you’re born as when you die.

** Challenging the definitive! **

Name: Caddas, Hounslow

Qualification: Surgeon

Answer: The eyeballs grow very slowly as a baby, then even slower as an adolescent, then stop growing completely when you are about 16. They don’t grow much… but they do grow. (James O’Brien: Now I don’t know what to think. I have a surgeon and a retinal photographer disagreeing about it.)
