Aging, long term memory, hippocampus
Aging, also known as senescence, is a physiological process that causes a slow deterioration of the functions of the body. It is characterized general degradation capacity of the body: Psychomotor, immune or reproductive. He 'spares no area of the human body, whether skin, bones, muscles but also the brain. This is called brain aging. This begins with the sl age of 20 years, but only occurs much later, around 60 to 65 year old.
Memory plays a primary role in the life of every human being. It is at the origin of knowledge, of intelligence, of the identity of each and intervenes in the essence of our business.
There are three main types of memory: Short-term memory, long term memory and sensory memory. The first in between it's is the one that allows us to remember things for a few tens of seconds, while the long-term memory allows us to remember it for hours, days, months or even years. However, all the memories do not pass the short-term memory to long term memory. This passage does is only possible if the hippocampus, a particular area of the brain is active. It makes possible the most durable registration of certain memories. Finally, the sensory memory is extremely brief and appeals to the senses, especially sight and hearing.
[...] An inhibitor is a substance that decreases the rate of a reaction catalyzed by an enzyme . By binding to an enzyme, an inhibitor can prevent the attachment of the substrate to the active site , or cause deformation of the enzyme that renders it inactive. The inhibitors of telomerase s decision in so would a great help in the fight against cancer cells that abounds telomerase Tips to adopt at a young age If our loved since childhood or even the media s we advise eating at least 5 fruits and vegetables per day, lis is not for nothing !

[...] The Russian biologist Aleskeï Olovnikov develops this theory in 1971 by relying on earlier discoveries. According to him, aging is due to the shortening of telomeres. Telomeres are chromatin structures comprise repetitive sequences of non-coding DNA that protect the ends of linear eukaryotic chromosomes from any form of damage. Diagram : A chromosome and DNA According to the biologist, after each new replication cycle that precedes mitosis, cells lose some of their telomeric DNA, due to the inability of DNA polymerase to copy the last nucleotides.

[...] Our intellectual performance also decreases with time, but it is possible to slow down the aging brain. Some plant extracts : A selection of plants have been proven for thousands of years and are true wonders for the protection and longevity of the human body. Here's a plant selection that will help our brain to age well : - Ginseng : Ginseng is a herb that helps tone and has a beneficial effect on memory. Moreover the action of this plant on the stress is no longer disassemble. [...]

[...] It is also a metabolite of choline, occurs naturally in the human body. The MPCP is a similar synthetic component in a variety of plant hormones called " auxin Both are, inter alia, powerful antioxidants capable of protecting the brain radical damage. The PCPA is also an analogue of pyroglutamic acid (PCA)naturally present in the brain. It is widely used in humans for over thirty years against brain disorders related to aging and impaired memory. Centrophenoxine has a stimulating effect on the functioning of the brain. [...]
