Vicente Mera He is one of the most prestigious doctors in the world in anti-aging, in fact he has been awarded as the best European doctor in this field.
This doctor visited ‘Herrera at COPE’ this Tuesday and explained the importance of sleep in our lives: “Sleep is a weekly rather than daily issue. Sleeping too much is also bad. Sleep is a preparation for REM sleep, for deep rest. We must ensure that sleep is optimal.”
“It is possible to rejuvenate, but each body is different, each organ has a different evolution,” he continued. “Aging is caused by cell division. It’s like you moved house. Organs have a different duration and life. We measure aging by DNA markers. Each division is a toll that must be paid for growing older.”
Regarding the latest studies carried out, Dr. Mera has confirmed that “The human body, if good habits are followed, is prepared to live 120 years. In Spain, in the 19th century, the average life expectancy was fifty-odd years. “We have now almost doubled our average life span.”
He has also confirmed that “there are 81 biomarkers that mark aging. Food is the most important of them. We are the ones who eat. Everyone has breakfast, lunch and dinner. The differences are eating between meals. There is a difference between fat people and those who do not gain weight.”
Vicente Mera has explained to Alberto Herrera that “From the age of 25 we begin to age. I work with people of all ages and there is no waiting for the building to collapse. Tobacco takes away 10 years of life expectancy. If in Spain it is 85 years old, if you smoke you are 75 years old. Those ten years can be recovered with applications where you can see how as you stop smoking, you gain life expectancy. “It’s not just the length of life, it’s diseases that are associated with smoking.”
Finally, Dr. Mera has presented his three keys to aging with dignity: “Hygiene measureswhich allow you to live longer; proactive measures and optimal statenot only achieve it, but it pays you to achieve it.”
