Joy Kong, MD explains how mesenchymal stem cells decline with age: 1 in 10,000 at birth, dropping to 1 in 2,000,000 by your 80s. This steep fall in frequency means your body loses repair capacity no matter what anti-aging steps you take.
1 in 10,000 cells.
1 in 100,000 cells.
1 in 400,000 cells.
1 in 2,000,000 cells.
When you were born, every one out of 10,000 cells is a mesenchymal stem cell and they help your body to coordinate this ability to repair. But when you reach your teenage years, it's already become 1 in 100,000, so tenfold less. And then by the time you reach your 40s, it becomes one in 400,000. So you're one fourth of what you had in your teenage years and by the time you reach your 80s is 1 in 2 million. So you have one fifth of what you had when you were in your 40s, so you have less and less stem cells, no matter how much of these anti aging protocols you are engaging in.
