It is
not just genes, diet or physical activity which decides how long you will live.
A another key factor in centenarians who live healthy and long. In a pilot
study on some of the oldest people in the world, Italian researchers from La Sapienza
University in Tome discovered that the perfusion of organs and muscles of the
centenarians was as efficient as that in people who were 30 years younger. Micro-circulation
describes blood flow through the smallest vessels (capillaries) in the
circulatory system. Results of the CIAO (Cilento Initiative on Aging Outcomes)
pilot study suggest that low blood levels of peptide hormone Adrenomedullin
(bio-ADM) are an indicator for good micro-circulation. A good micro-circulation
is what makes marathon runners perform better at the same heart rate than the
average man or woman on the street.
