*** A Look At Theories On Why We Age ***
(Taken from Dr.Lendon Smith's readings of Dr. Darryl See, a consultant to the Mannatch company. Edited by Dorothy Q. McDonald. Editor's note: Don't despair and think all you're doing is a waste of time, money, and energy. Stay open and you will see where Dr. See is heading.)
A good theory of aging must be able to explain four basic points. It must explain:
* why the losses of healthy functions occur as we age; * why they progress as we age; * why they cannot be corrected; and * why these losses are universal - that is, why the losses of healthy functions occur in all members of all species.
** The Wear and Tear Theory **
The old nineteenth century explanation for aging - the wear and tear that normal living inflicts on us--still sounds perfectly reasonable to many people even today. * After all, isn't that what happens to most of the familiar things that surround us, like washing machines and cars? * It seems natural that our body's parts will deteriorate with use, begin to goof-up on the job, and eventually just fall apart. * When enough parts have broken and cannot be repaired any more--no matter what medications, transplants, or other modern medical miracles are used--then the body, like any old washer or car, must be disposed of because, well, it dies.
** Flaws in the Wear and Tear Theory **
The wear-and-tear theory of why we age, however, develops serious flaws once we start asking some tough questions about it. In this time of political correctness and rampant I-told-you-so behaviors, some people seem to take great joy when a famous Epicurean dies. See! See! That's what he gets for sinful living-- eating all that red meat, or smoking, or drinking, or sleeping around. These folks are missing the same obvious flaw in the wear and tear argument that the Puritans missed.
** The Sin Theory **
There's a distressingly huge number of appallingly sinful people all around us living very long and healthy lives. And, sadly, many a pious, moderate soul has perished in the bloom of youth. The sinful-living theory simply doesn't tally with what we all know. We all know, or know of, young people who live cautiously, eat careful organic diets, haunt health stores for the latest supplements, exercise, and maintain proper weight. Alas, we often find ourselves at their funerals when they fall prey to one of the so-called diseases of aging like cancer or heart disease.
* The Hardy Sinners Theory *
Then, perhaps, we meet the hardy ninety-year-old smoker, the attractive eighty-five year-old sun worshiper, and the ancient pastry chef, who's excessively obese but obviously thriving. They all contradict the idea of the body as a machine. If the body could be destroyed by rough use, these people certainly gave it their best shot. Descartes* notwithstanding, our bodies are not machines in any ordinary sense. Machines don't normally repair themselves or build new parts for themselves when old ones break. The machines we're familiar with don't constantly regulate their own internal balances. A machine can 't lower its energy needs when fuel is scarce and then, when it 's plentiful again, store it away for future needs. Most machines cannot do such amazing things, but (Hallelujah!) our bodies can.
** What Does The Body Need To Perform These Miracles? **
So the wear-and-tear machine analogy simply doesn't hold up very well under scrutiny. Your body is much more amazing than any machine, especially if you just help it along. But your body cannot perform these miracles without the stuff it needs.
