Sound waves or Ultrasound waves may be the key to slow down aging and help us look younger.
Maybe that’s why babies look so young at birth. Aaaaannnyyyway...
According to the University of Texas study’s findings that were published in New Scientist, ultrasound waves have been found to restart division in cells, which, in a way, reinvigorates them.
The older we get, the more our cells divide less and less, and those inactive cells are the main reason we age. These cells emit toxins that trigger inflammation, which can cause everything from high blood pressure to dementia to heart disease.
In their experiments, University researchers put mice that were equal to the age of an aging human placed in a tub where ultrasound waves were placed. The study explains that the waves were not nearly as strong as the sound waves they use to take medical images.
They discovered that the rodents used with the ultrasound therapy had their cells come back to life or jumped back into the cell division process turning back the clock. The little critters were then able to run faster and much longer on their treadmill than a mouse that was untreated. They also claim that the process even reversed one of the old mouse's hunched back.
"I don’t think rejuvenation is too strong a term," says Professor Michael Sheetz at the University of Texas Medical Branch. "'Is this too good to be true?' is the question I often ask. We are examining all aspects of it to see if it really does work."
The process still needs to be tested on humans, then we can start thinking about throwing away our creams, potions and goos.
