Hormone-replacement therapy (HRT) has been a debated topic since the Women’s Health Initiative Study was released in 1992. Subsequent reanalyzes of the data from the women’s health initiative study with age stratification, and newer randomized and research including review of several meta-analyses now consistently reveal a reduction in coronary artery disease and mortality when HRT is started soon after menopause. HRT also significantly decreases the various symptoms that come along with menopause and improves quality of life. In younger healthy women the benefits out weight the risks in regards to the use of HRT. [5] New research also shows that not all women on HRT for menopause have the same increase in breast cancer risk. Factors such as the type of hormone replacement taken, the dosage, and age when hormone replacement therapy was started, have an effect on the actual risk of breast cancer. [6]

What are some of the factors that cause aging in humans?

There are many factors and theories in regards to the factors that play a role in the aging process. Some of these include the free radical theory, the nuroendocrine theory, telemorate theory, the wear and tear theory, the rate of living theory, and they immune theory.

Oxidative stress

Free radicals have long thought to play a role in damage to our cell membranes and the aging process. Free radicals can be derived from the environment such as from pollution, smoking, lifestyle, our diet, industrial chemicals, alcohol and more.

Chronic inflammation

Many researches believe that chronic inflammation is responsible and an important contributor to the age related changes. Chronic inflammation in our bodies can eat away at body tissues and result in dementia, thickening of our arteries, diabetes, hormone disorders, arthritic changes and more. Lifestyle modifications and a diet full of anti inflammatory oils from fish, anti inflammatory flavonoids and antioxidant packed fruits and vegetables can help decrease chronic inflammation.

Hormone Imbalances

Hormones play a significant role in the aging process in both males and females. As we age, our natural hormone productions fall and this is thought to contribute to many of the symptoms we experience as we get older.
