A drug treatment helped reverse aging by 2.5 years, on average, according to a new study.
While numerous creams and serums have promised to turn back the clock when it comes to aging, researchers may have unlocked the key to actually reversing a person’s biological age through a combination of drugs, including growth hormones.
In a very small study published in the journal Aging Cell, researchers looked at whether they could slow down or reverse a person’s biological age . Unlike your chronological age, which is simply the number of years you’ve been alive, your biological age is influenced by a range of factors, including genetics, diet, exercise, health issues, stress, and sleep.
The treatment targeted the thymus — what’s been called a “forgotten but very important organ” for its key role in the development of the immune system, including developing disease-fighting T-cells. As people age, however, the thymus gradually starts to shrink and is replaced by fat. By the time you reach 75 years old, the gland has essentially turned into fatty tissue.
