But is it possible to slow down the <a href=\"https:\/\/educaedtech.foundation\/en\/human-ageing-hacking-old-age-sergio-colado\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">human ageing<\/a> through our habits? In a recent interview on the \u2018Generaci\u00f3n EdTech\u2019 podcast, Sergio Colado tackles this issue from an innovative perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00abZombie cells are cells that no longer function, but do not die either\u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the interview, <a href=\"https:\/\/sergiocolado.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Sergio Colado<\/a> highlights the existence of what he calls \u00abzombie cells\u2019: \u201c<em>They are the sort of cells that no longer function, but do not die either. Nor do they disappear<\/em>.\u00bb These cells build up in the body, causing a<strong> progressive deterioration that accelerates human ageing<\/strong>. The problem is that, although they no longer fulfil their function, they continue to take up space and have a negative effect on the surrounding tissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u00abStress, a sedentary lifestyle and lack of sleep make us age faster\u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As well as zombie cells, Colado mentions other factors that contribute to the <strong>premature ageing, such as stress, lack of sleep and a sedentary lifestyle<\/strong>. \u00ab<em>Not getting enough sleep and sleeping poorly\u2026 Check. Stress\u2026 Definitely check<\/em>\u00ab, he notes in a critical yet approachable tone, emphasising that these habits are common in today\u2019s society and can accelerate the <strong>human ageing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The role of science in active ageing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout the conversation, Colado emphasises the importance of science in the search for solutions to promote active ageing. Whilst some advances have made it possible to identify<strong> factors that accelerate ageing<\/strong>, such as the <strong>oxidative stress or cellular mutations<\/strong>, there is still a long way to go in the field of cell regeneration and the removal of senescent cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can we promote active ageing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To promote active ageing, Colado recommends paying attention to everyday habits. \u00ab<em>Getting a good night\u2019s sleep, eating a balanced diet and reducing stress are key to slowing down cellular ageing<\/em>\u00ab, says the expert. Incorporating <strong>moderate physical exercise routines<\/strong> It also helps to keep the body and mind in balance, delaying the signs of ageing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final thoughts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<strong> active ageing<\/strong> It depends not only on scientific strategies, but also on the personal choices we make every day. \u2018Hacking\u2019 the ageing process may sound like something out of a sci-fi film, but it starts with small changes in our daily lives. <strong>Are we ready to live longer and better lives?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019d like to find out more about active ageing and discover the scientific advances that are bringing us closer to <strong>a longer, healthier life<\/strong>, don\u2019t miss the full interview with Sergio Colado on the \u2018Generaci\u00f3n EdTech\u2019 podcast.
