2. Aging checkup
Although Comprehensive medical examination is for early detection and early treatment of diseases, aging care is to prevent illnesses effectively by examining the body weaknesses and aging, for the purpose of keeping health and youthfulness.
It reduces the occurrences of developing illness by improving your lifestyle.
Now, we are in an era where we can detect pre-symptomatic conditions and enjoy maintaining our health in energetic way instead of spending a lot of time and money on medical treatment after becoming ill.
Investing in your health is important before being affected by an illness.
Telomere check [saliva test]
Cells need to replicate their own DNA for division and proliferation but the ends of the DNA (regions called telomeres) are not completely replicated and gradually lost. When the telomere shortening reaches its limit, DNA replication ceases and the cell cannot divide, and ages.
Therefore, it is considered that telomere length is an index of reflecting cellular and biological aging.
However, the shortening of telomeres is not uniform because it is affected by the living environment.
In the telomere check, you can determine your healthy life expectancy from your own telomere length.
This is a recommended examination method for those who would like to know how much their own lifestyle influences their healthy life expectancy.
Sirtuin check [blood test]
Sirtuin genes are called longevity genes and it appears that their activation extends the lifespan of organisms.
Which means that the expression level of sirtuin genes can be an index of anti-aging.
However, this gene is normally inactive in the OFF state and it is activated by exercise such as calorie restriction and walking.
The sirtuin check allows you to assess your health and longevity from your own sirtuin expression level.
This is a recommended examination method for those who would like to know how much their own lifestyle influences their healthy life expectancy.
*We recommend you to take both examinations of a telomere and a sirtuin check for aging care at our clinic.
