Quiz Can Help Determine Organ Ageing Speed, Experts Say
Doctors Josh Axe and Will Cole have developed a method to assess organ health and suggest lifestyle changes for improvement.
A new approach allows individuals to assess the ageing of their organs and identify potential interventions, according to medical experts.
Dr. Josh Axe and Dr. Will Cole, authors of the book "Heal Your Cells," propose a quiz designed to reveal if organs are ageing faster than they should. The method also aims to guide individuals on lifestyle adjustments to potentially reverse or slow this ageing process.
"We now have the tools not only to identify which organ is ageing prematurely, but also to intervene and strengthen it at a cellular level – even before disease is diagnosed," the experts stated. This proactive approach focuses on cellular health, suggesting that by addressing cellular function, one can impact overall organ vitality.
Symptoms such as persistent fatigue despite adequate sleep, cognitive fogginess, digestive discomfort, and unexplained bloating can be indicators of accelerated organ ageing. When cells become damaged due to toxins and nutrient deficiencies, their ability to produce and utilize energy can be compromised, impacting overall bodily function. This damage can affect the mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells.
The experts highlight that modern diets are frequently deficient in essential nutrients. These include omega-3 fatty acids, fiber-rich legumes, high-quality protein, antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, olive oil, seeds, and nuts. Addressing these nutritional gaps is presented as a key component in supporting cellular repair and organ health.
By understanding the specific needs of aging organs and implementing targeted dietary and lifestyle changes, individuals may be able to improve their cellular function and overall health, according to the book's premise.
