An apple a day keeps the doctor away. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. Apples make for a delicious year-round snack, but did you know that they also have anti-aging properties? A new study out of University of Minnesota Medical School and the Mayo Clinic found that fruits such as apples and strawberries can help keep you from aging. But how does it work? Studies have shown that a process called cellular senescence plays an important role in aging. When cells become old, they put out an inflammatory signal for the immune system to dispose of them. This process slows down as we age, making it harder for the body to dispose of old cells. A buildup of these cells leads to tissue degeneration and inflammatory issues. It’s time to start picking apples over chips for a midnight snack! This Stay Young Medical Minute is brought to you by Executive Medicine of Texas, a leader in preventative and proactive medicine.
