Canadian scientists from the University of Ottawa have found that the one-week course of cold baths activates the process of autophagish, a natural mechanism for self-cleaning. The results of the study were published in Advanced Biology magazine.
The experience took part in ten healthy men who spent an hour in a temperature of 14 ° C per day. The blood test showed that the level of P62 protein has decreased in the body of the tried on the fourth day, which accumulates in the case of autopsy. On the seventh day, this figure continued to decline, testifying about the accelerated "rejuvenation" of cells.
Autoject is a process of processing and processing of mobile "waste". Cells destroy damaged proteins and organelles, turning them into new structures of building materials. This mechanism helps maintain cell health and protects the body from age changes, chronic diseases and inflammation.
Scientists also recorded an increase in the activity of the Caspian Farm, which is connected with the death of apoptoz, controlled cells. This shows that the body was not only cleaned of damaged ingredients, but also exempted from unusable cells.
Researchers believe that being regularly exposed to cold can increase cell resistance to stress, helping to partially delay age changes and relieve symptoms of a number of chronic diseases. However, scientists emphasize that further research is needed to confirm these revelations, which are involved in more volunteers, including women.
