Aging Statistics Exposed and Corrected!

How to increase YOUR oxygen uptake

Do you often look at older people and assume that you will look or function like them when you will reach their age?

Textbooks on the physiology of aging show us how literally every bodily function and organ system decreases as we age. For example, there was a clear statistical correlation between the age of a person and their oxygen uptake. If you measure a person’s oxygen uptake, you can predict his/her approximate age. Scientists always believed that this correlation was fixed and could not be changed (reversed).

Several years ago, Dr. Herbert DeVries (USC, Los Angeles) proposed to a group of retired people (average age, 71) that he would teach them simple anti-aging procedures. Most agreed to participate in the study; the ones that didn’t became the control group.

Before the beginning of the program, the oxygen uptake of both groups were measured and the values were exactly what one would expect for 71-year old individuals. The experimental group followed the various changes Dr. DeVries had recommended. exercise program, nutrition, etc. Throughout the coming weeks, the oxygen uptake of this group increased; first, to the level of 60-year olds and then 50-year olds. It kept increasing until it stopped at the level of approximately 28-year old people. So, how old were these individuals? Are they 28 according to the oxygen uptake statistics or 71 according to their birth certificates? Learn how to take charge of your own aging process. Don’t become a statistic.
