What If Our Understanding Of Aging Is Wrong?
What The Research Consistently Fails To Take Into Account
Written by a human, for humans, always.
We all know that there are signs of aging...
Loss of bodily function.
Shrinking of bodily organs.
Loss of Memory.
There are a number of other things we know...
But...
What if what we know...
Is actually wrong?
Now, I am “not” talking about some far-fetched theory of immortality that some people may try to discuss.
As far as I am aware and have information to support, we all still die.
That is not what I’m trying to get at.
What I mean to say here...
Is that what if many of the things we attribute to aging...
Are not actually “caused” by aging...
But are simply “correlated” with the aging of the “average” of people.
Let me give you an example.
There has been a lot of “research” that shows that “red meat” is “correlated” with bad health outcomes.
What this means is that they surveyed a bunch of people...
Asked, “Do you eat red meat?”...
Looking for a yes or no answer...
And then asked what health problems they had in their lives.
What this “research” shows is more red meat, more bad health outcomes.
But what does the research miss?
Other health factors that could “also” cause bad health.
Such as...
More alcohol intake...
More nicotine use...
Lack of exercise...
Lower quality of food, including intake of factory-farm raised red meat...
And other potential factors like this.
So...
What “causes” the bad health outcomes?
Is it actually the red meat?
Is it the bad quality of the red meat from bad farming practices?
Is it the alcohol?
Is it the nicotine?
Is it the lack of exercise?
Or is it a combination?
So, researchers have actually done “causative” tests on red meat...
Where they account for these different factors.
The result of these?
Overwhelmingly, is that red meat intake actually leads to significant health “benefits”.
Now, what does this have to do with aging?
What if many, or potentially most, signs of aging that we “know”...
Are all only “correlative”?
As in...
The vast majority of people have other factors in their lives that “cause” these outcomes...
But if you accounted for those factors...
You would then no longer experience these outcomes in aging...
Because the process of aging is not the actual “cause” of them?
The more we look into this in the research...
It seems that we are discovering, more and more, that aging is not really at the root of what we are seeing.
Take, for example, Alzheimer’s.
For a long time, this has been considered a disease of aging...
Except...
We are discovering more and more cases of Alzheimer’s developing at younger and younger ages.
Even to the point where the youngest diagnosis of Alzheimer’s happened to a young man in China...
At the age of 19.
Worse...
The signs of Alzheimer’s began in his life at 17...
It was just not diagnosed until later because people considered Alzheimer’s to be something that happened to old people.
Is Alzheimer’s really a disease “caused” by age?
Or is it just “correlated” to older individuals because of the decay in their brains happening over time, but “caused” by other factors?
It seems for the 19-year-old...
It had nothing to do with his age...
But had to do with other factors.
We also see this with physical stature and ability.
We tend to think that these decrease as we age...
Beginning in our 20’s and continuing to get worse as we age...
Until we become frail and unable to do much in terms of physical movement.
But there are individuals who break these trends.
Sometimes reaching their physical peak in the 40’s, 50’s, and even 60’s...
While still being incredibly capable into their 80’s and 90’s...
Far more than we would imagine if “aging” were the cause of physical decline.
On top of this...
There is research that has been done where by putting older individuals in an “environment” that mimicked life when they were 20 years younger...
Down to even using the technology of the time and “replaying” events from that time period.
These same individuals actually appeared to, within a week, “appear” younger.
Their stature improved...
Physical capabilities improved...
Their memory improved...
Their hearing improved...
And there were even notes that they physically “appeared” younger.
If these were all truly “caused” by age...
Then “pretending” to be in the past would not suddenly change all of these factors.
What does all of this mean?
A lot of what we believe about what happens to our bodies over time...
Is not based on reality.
But rather...
Much of what we know is “correlative”.
We “see” old people who lose their physical abilities, memory, hearing, and other things...
So we “believe” that this is simply what happens to us when we get older...
And research “verifies” this by counting the old people with these challenges...
But fails to consider whether these individuals have other factors that could “also” cause these results...
Causing us to, ironically, “fill the role” of what “old” is supposed to look and feel like as we get older...
All while either those do not actually exist, and therefore if we believed otherwise we would no longer be subject to them...
Or...
Are caused by other life factors, such as not exercising or eating properly...
Among a number of other potential causes that are the true culprits.
This is what happens when we look at the average of a sick population...
Not just of physical sickness...
But of emotional sickness...
Mental sickness...
And spiritual sickness.
We begin to “see” what the average looks like...
And we “believe” that is what is “normal”...
When the reality is that the average we see is actually “abnormal” to what humans “should” experience.
When you begin to look at truly healthy individuals...
Which is rare in our world, and in many cases, we are actually moving backwards from...
We begin to see a completely different picture of what aging might look like...
And truly...
We may not fully understand what we “should” be able to accomplish in old age...
Because so few people actually live truly healthily.
