Healthy Aging and Anti Aging
February 12th, 2009A common misconception about the terms ‘aging’ and ‘anti-aging’ is that they only refer to living longer. Few credible remedies would claim to extend life. In fact any treatment that claims to extend life is immediately suspect. Far more realistic is the goal of positively influencing quality of life as people age. It seems ‘healthy-aging’ is a more fitting goal than ‘anti-aging’.
The average person’s life span has been getting longer – it has increased by decades during the last century. This is largely the result of reducing infant mortality and infectious diseases. Through science, it has also been possible to reduce early death due to heart problems and other conditions. Increasing life span, however, does not insure or even promote quality of life in later years. In fact, there are more older ill people than ever before. This fact suggests that there may be too much emphases on quantity of life and not enough consideration for quality of life. Statistics appear to confirm this, and it is certainly our experience at Eng3 Corporation. People commonly turn to Eng3’s Activated Air because they already suffer from one or more chronic disease. Our goal is to help people enjoy health and vitality for as long as they live and we are thrilled to see the growing number of people using Eng3’s Activated Air to maintain health and improve performance. Whether Activated Air is used for prevention or to recover form health problems, healthy aging is the key. See also The Growing Impact of Chronic Disease.
