Anti-aging medicine deals more with inner health
When talking about anti-aging, one tends to focus on the exterior, giving the impression that it’s all about wrinkles and Botox treatments.
This is, however, not the case, according to Dr Craige Golding, who addressed the East Rand Business Women Networking Forum’s first meeting of 2016, recently, at the Birchwood Hotel.
Golding is a well-known radio and print personality, who was involved in the founding of a group that produces supplements.
According to him, anti-aging is very much to do with the interior, with its effects becoming more evident in time on the exterior.
Therefore, he said, when it comes to treating anti-aging, it is really about the prevention, early detection and reversal of the chronic diseases that become more common with age, and which constitute nearly 90 per cent of the illnesses doctors treat on an ongoing basis.
“Anti-aging medicine is truly the medicine of the new millennium, advocating that people actively take control of their health rather than simply waiting for diseases to develop,” he said.
“People, after all, want to spend a longer time living healthily and a shorter time dying.”
