Oleksandr Bogomolets Is a Visionary of Anti-Aging in Ukraine

Abstract

Anti-aging is a relatively new term in the professional vocabulary of Ukrainian physicians. It has begun to develop in our country, to a large extent, in recent decades. However, a significant number of practitioners do not pay proper attention to or distrust this field of medicine even now. Most of them are convinced that this industry came to us from abroad and does not fit right into our realities. This article attempts to refute this baseless claim. It presents information about the developments and achievements of the outstanding Ukrainian scientist O.O. Bogomolets in the field of anti-aging. This article overviews the main hypothesis and discoveries made by Bogomolets and discusses his great legacy in the struggle for a long healthy, and happy life.
