The human body is regenerative and recovers through rest, nutrition and targeted exercise. Most of the human cells renew themselves at regular intervals. This process of Regeneration is genetic, but is also influenced from the outside.
What is regeneration?
Regeneration (regeneration) is a process that occurs in all living things. The genes programmed humans for regeneration. For this he needs nutrients and rest.
The human body has two functional systems, an accelerating system and one that allows it to come to rest. Both systems must be in balance; only then can our organs work properly.
Injured or missing parts of organs can regenerate from the remaining tissue. Stem cell research uses this knowledge in the hope of creating new structures in humans in the future, for example after amputations.
It has long been known that wounds and diseases heal without medical support. Diarrhea, runny nose and abrasions go away by themselves after a few days, because the human body has a special ability to repair itself.
Regeneration in the form of relaxation keeps us healthy and creates quality of life. It is essential for health, fitness, resistance and motivation for life. However, many people bypass the signals from their body telling them when it is time to take a break.
Function & task
Stress regeneration is extremely important for disease prevention. If the body is out of balance, we are exhausted, inefficient, feel bad and unhappy.
In order to set all levers for regeneration in motion, medical knowledge from several millennia is available to us today. Nevertheless, many people fail to regenerate their bodies in a meaningful way.
The entire organ system is kept in balance by minerals, enzymes and hormones. Even the smallest systems in the organism, the cells, have remarkable capabilities. Wound fluid, for example, washes germs out of a wound and the adhesive-like substance fibrin lies like a plaster over an open wound.
The dead cells are removed by immune cells (leukocytes) and new skin cells grow on the wound edges. The blood vessels feel their way further and further, whereby growth factors accelerate the process.
The ability of cells to regenerate depends on age. Almost every cell in the body renews itself every several years. Some, however, do not renew themselves at all, for example nerve cells and many brain cells. So they can never be replaced.
We can strengthen our self-healing powers through a healthy lifestyle. We support cell renewal through a varied, healthy diet and enough sleep.
The cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and biology industries are doing intensive research into substances that can minimize the aging of cells, but they have not yet made a major breakthrough. Of course, research knows about the importance of minerals and vitamins.
The lifespan of human cells varies between a few hours and lifelong. A person is born with about five trillion cells. An adult has between 60 and 90 trillion cells as a result of reproduction. Almost 50 million cells die every second, but just as many new ones form in the same period of time, so the loss is not really significant.
In the long run, however, the number of cells in the human body is reduced. As we get older, fewer and fewer new cells are added. Other harmful influences are free radicals and UV radiation. When a cell's genetic material is damaged, mutations occur and cell function is impaired.
Stem cells constantly provide for cell replenishment, produce blood cells or mucous membrane cells. So it happens that, for example, the cells of a 50-year-old are only about ten years old on average.
Illnesses & ailments
Without nutritional substances we would die.Minerals are involved in the production of enzymes. These influence the formation of hormones, the transport of oxygen in the blood and cell regeneration.
The vital mineral magnesium is found in the skeletal muscles and bones. It affects the skeletal muscles, the heart muscle and the muscles of blood vessels. It is also involved in the construction of enzyme systems. However, our body cannot produce magnesium itself. It must be ingested with food, especially since potassium and magnesium are the most important cations in living cells and are therefore essential for regeneration.
A lack of minerals leads to functional disorders in the organs and can even dampen breathing and circulatory activity. A vitamin deficiency has a similarly serious effect. In particular, vitamin E, which is one of the antioxidants, is indispensable as it fights the dangerous free radicals.
The aggressive oxygen compounds are caused by smoking, alcohol, stress, high-energy rays and chemicals. They damage the body's proteins, cell structures and cell DNA. Vitamin E, on the other hand, has a cell-protective function and can slow down the aging process. Prevention of cardiovascular diseases has also been proven. Because of its antioxidant properties, many skin care products also contain vitamin E.
Those who avoid stress can not only prevent skin aging, but also increase their life expectancy in the long term. In the right amount, sleep has a very positive effect on reducing stress, because it eliminates harmful substances and regenerates. Even a 10-minute nap can have an effect here.
Vitamin E deficiency, in turn, can lead to nerve and muscle breakdown and anemia. Affected people are tired, poorly concentrated and prone to allergies.
Regenerative medicine uses self-healing powers to treat illnesses and injuries. Their tools are living cells. Scientists and doctors work with the influence of living cells on destroyed tissue and want to enable patients to enjoy a higher quality of life.
