Aging can be related to a cognitive decline, as well as, poor functionality, frailty and may increase the risk of developing diseases such as: cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, musculoskeletal and/or neurodegenerative disorders - which contribute to a worse quality of life and increased risk of death. Nine factors can contribute to cell aging, which can be summarized in the mnemonic DESGASTAR. Cellular senescence contributes to immunosenescence, which generates a low degree of inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction that contributes to the generation of reactive oxygen specimens (ROS). The reduction in glutathione levels can contribute to aging, in addition to promoting inflammation and/or production of free radicals, which can contribute to an increased risk of chronic degenerative diseases. Interventions that include lifestyle changes (balanced diet, regular exercise, no smoking and moderate or non-consumption of alcohol), in addition to amino acid, vitamin and or mineral supplementation, when medically indicated and needed, can delay the physiological process called age-associated cell decline.
