When we are not yet born, something magical happens in nature, it is the union between the sperm and the ovules that gives rise to our life, thus the zygote is formed, which is undoubtedly the most important cell in our life, this type of cell is totipotent , basically this means that they can be transformed into any cell without problems, otherwise we would not develop, but why is this important, because the best types of cells to heal are the most ethically problematic, because they come from embryos with which we can use them.

But another type of important cell is almost as useful and free of ethical problems, which are pluripotent stem cells, which cannot be transformed into everything, but can be transformed into almost everything, from skin to brain and which come from the placenta, an extremely important organ in pregnancy, but in addition to reaching thousands of cells it also functions as a stem cell factory and we even have other types of stem cells such as those from the umbilical cord or those from adults that can transform into fewer types of cells, but they still continue being beneficial and the most interesting thing is that these last types, those of the adult, are easier to increase or use but they are specific for certain tissues, for example, some adult stem cells can only become cells that have to do with blood or in cells that have to do with something articular.

The most direct way to access the regenerative power of stem cells is through stem cell treatments in places such as the placenta. In addition, with the discovery of genetic factors such as yamanaka factors that regulate cell aging, it is possible to extract a cell adult and rejuvenate the work point to form the new mind in a stem cell and many of these treatments are proving so effective that in fact studies are underway for the treatment of cancer with a type of lymphocytes called natural killers that are extracted from the placenta .

In addition, there are procedures for intravenous injections of stem cells and even those located in places such as joints, and there are even stem cell treatments to repair and stimulate the scalp and recover hair.

When a stem cell encounters damaged tissue, it releases proteins that reduce inflammation in the area and destroy microorganisms that shouldn't be there, and can even form new connective tissue and blood vessels so that the tissue heals faster, while If the damage is very serious, these stem cells will directly replace the damaged cells, they will transform into the cells that broke from the tissue.

These stem cells are normally taken from my body or a placenta where it went and cultured so that they grow much more and then all these cultured stem cells are intentionally put under stress, so that they produce a thing called an exosome, a small vesicle that releases the substances that do everything I mentioned to you, how to reduce inflammation or repair tissue.

If that doesn't seem like much to you, they can additionally release RNA and change the functioning of the tissues that are nearby, and today there are therapies that combine these exosomes from other cultured stem cells with your own stem cells, to have the best possible result and the lowest possible risk. most interesting of all the research with stem cells that is happening today, it does not take years for that moment to arrive, much of the field of longevity is moving at impressive speeds and as technology allows scalability treatments with stem cells are going to be more and more cheaper and more and more common and they are going to start little by little to replace more invasive procedures with some joint surgeries.

Remember that a free way to age more slowly, reduce inflammation and maintain more stem cells over time, is to do intermittent fasting or fasting periods a little longer, it is also important that you know that stem cells both injected and that we have in our body need a 'certain climate to be able to function properly and there are factors that will lead stem cells to age more quickly and factors that will keep them functioning for more years, for example, having high levels of triglycerides in the blood or even At highly variable or high blood sugar levels, which usually happens if I consume excess carbohydrates, the number of stem cells I have will decrease and the functionality is to make some mothers faster than necessary.

To improve the performance of stem cells take vitamin D, Resveratrol or curcumin have also been shown to enhance the activity of these stem cells, although they do not increase it directly, the moral of all this is simple, even if you have a disease today that hopefully do not have any we live in the best moment of humanity in terms of health and the technologies that are being developed today such as stem cell therapies, gene editing or precision medicine are going to change the rules of the game in the long term, meanwhile do what you can to be healthier.
