Bio Balance

In order to comply with the more traditional culture of aging, it is advised to follow the current order of “help aging to be healthy” such as :

The process of aging is not easy to understand and often scientist takes parts of the process to define all of it. Arnaud van der Veere suggests that it is impossible to explicitly tell when and where aging starts after birth as this is an individual path. Fact is that it needs a vision from a biological and psychological point of view. It is impossible to separate one from the other.

Growing up and getting older is a matter of biological change in balance. At the first stages of life, all is focused on growth, change, build and get to a point of fertility where multiplication is the goal. The theory of Bio-balance could explain this more clearly. This theory of bio-balance is created to distinguish the levels of biological activity and biochemical levels within the human system without calculating the psychological factors which play an important role in the developments as human beings.

The bio-balance is measured in the degree of recuperation and physical activity of the human body:

Bio-balance level 90+ % refers to a body in constant repair and growth. There is

90% is referring to a positive repair/building function with less than 10 % breakdown or destruction.

80% is referring to a positive repair/building function with less than 20% breakdown/destruction

70% is referring to a positive repair/building function with less than 30% breakdown/destruction

This does continue until death.

It is possible to divide the life period into several biological phases:

• Zero to 4 is the time where growing up (building) takes around 90+% of biological abilities. In normal disease-free circumstances, a child develops all fundaments with which it has to do all its life. The development and programming of the digestive tract which rules all future digestive processes are founded during this first 4 years. The theory is that during this phase in life all digestive fundaments are built for later digestive functions and little or no changes can be made to influence this. This fact is important for diets, physical relocation of the individual and disease development due to relocation.
• 4 – 8 is a child development stage where motoric control, biological choices (what food to like) and environmental choices are made. Besides the neurological tuning of the system, there is an activity planning. This activity planning creates a design for future health and movement of the individual. The growth and recuperation factor is slowing down to 80+%. It is of vital importance for further development that the child learns to be physically active and gender-specific in coordination. Gender specificity is important in all of its developments on a physical and mental level. Hereby it is – from a science point of view – important that there is a complete gender acceptance of the individual and role play is not enforced nor encouraged. Things all have their natural ways. (Gender is not specified)
• 8 – 12 is an age of biological awareness for most A difference starts to occur between boy and girl. A small group becomes aware that they are different. This group steps into a new psychological reality which can affect its biological processes. The growth rate is around 80+ % but there is a partial separation in biological development structure. The hormone activity is increasing and at some parts of the body, the biological rate moves up to 90+ % while other parts stay the same. This is an important factor of bio-balancing. This bio-balance affects the biological/psychological development of the child. Environmental effects are strong. One of the reasons why the environmental effects are important is a change in information gathering and processing. Both have a direct effect on biology.
• 12 – 16 / 18. During this phase a more distinctive development difference between boys and girls becomes apparent. The biological development is visible and selective. Biologically different boys and girls features with all physical shapes based on past developments and genetic information become visible. Environmental influence is a marker in individual biological development. Some parts of the body (also dependent on physical activity) are moving to bio-balance state 70+% while other parts are varying between 80-90%. Cultural influences have a strong influence on the gender differences and roleplay. In many countries, the female is brought into an inferior position and male dominance becomes the norm. This has a biological effect on the defense system of the body. Due to this cultural differences, male development becomes more testosterone depended and female tends to be forced into an estrogen ruled behavior. This seems to have the first effect of lifespan.
• After 18 there is a measurable change in bio-balance in most children / young adults. Stabilization is the general term. The balance becomes evenly for most body parts and a slowing down of biological activities to a rating of 70%. In many cases, in the current physical activity level, a tendency occurs to go for the minus 70%. But there seems to be a change in city and countryside The city development shows a slower biological pace than this in the countryside. Again the physical activity could be the indicated factor of this difference.
• At around 22 – 25 the biological activity slows down in most people. As mentioned before the difference between city and countryside physical and mental development becomes apparent. Currently, it is considered an age differentiation of at least 5 – 7 years between city and countryside persons, male and female. A major factor is pears, environment, and psychological pressure. One of the major differences – still – is the biological factor. City youth, in general, has a lower physical development. The bio-balance goes to minus 70% with a hang to 65+%. In current statistics, people who grow up in the countryside starts a family (multiplication factor) at this age.
• Between 25 – 30 There is a bio-balance of around 65+% stable. Most city people come to the multiplication phase and a new lifestyle start is set to develop. Biological this period in life is a stable area but also one where most slow developing diseases get their roots for further growth. Physical and mental condition development is most important for a strong foundation in the future. For city citizen, this period is often one where studies are finished and in which work becomes a major important part of life and also a source of conflicts and stress in development. Career planning is the cause of most “modern” diseases.
• After 30 the changes in bio-balance become stronger to the “negative” side. Old habits kick in, injuries get a new appearance and the mental part becomes a ruling factor over the biological processes. During this time the differentiation gap between men and women becomes wider. The bio-balance gets more and more off-balance. Lifestyle and genetic load seem to be a major part. Physical activity and the right balance of mental development, training and actual application (challenges) is important. The first move for less physically dangerous to more skill based must be made. Introduction of breath control, balance improvement, and food changes are needed. Rethinking the food balance is important. Psychologically the feeling that aging starts in this period of life is one of the most important markers in the aging If to set a psychological / feel marker for when aging starts it is here. That is why this period is said to be the FIRST AGE MARKER.
• For both genders the age of 35, generally speaking, is a turning point in the bio-balance Most people enter the 50% state at which the balance of building and breaking comes to a critical stage. During the last few hundred years, the 50% moment moved from 27-28 in the 19^th century (the period between 1800-1900) to 29-30 (1900 – 1940) and moved on to 30-32 between 1940 – 1960 with another move upward to 35 now. We expect this to increase under good circumstances to 40 in 2050. One of the reasons seems to be that life is extended from 65 to 84+ within a relatively short period of fewer than 100 years. With the life extension, the biological balance also changes. This implies that the older people get the bio-balance to vary with it. During this period (fixed between 32 – 37/38 for most people) the psychological change has a major influence on biological stability. A factor such as stress and environment can cause a biological impact on capacity and quality. In the female, the factor of fertility ability plays an unconscious but strong role. When women did not have children at this particular age period regret is strong or in search for confirmation of her decision. The cortisol/adrenalin struggle for energy levels becomes stronger during this period.
• Around 40 – 50 the bio-balance moves to the negative side of 50%. More downsides of age become ruling the daily life. Past and present gets entangled and visible in biological functioning. People enter a critical stage of life were biological aspects and psychological effects develop a personal scale of activity. This scale of (physical) activity defines the future health developments. On the other hand, when most people experience physiological aging they also experience a growing psychological wellbeing. Time of “have too” performance has passed, consolidation begins and to many, it becomes a time for experiments on a mature level. Aging becomes psychological maturity which has also a biological calming effect.
• Between 50 – 60 the bio-balance tumbles further. Here the SECOND AGE MARKER is set. In most cases, people enter the 40% level which implies that the individual is losing more than recuperating. Slowly there is a decrease in abilities varying from physical to mental. But it is a fact that people seek other ways of living and loving. The individual who develops strong survival skills will have fewer problems during this stage of life. There is two major chemical impact crisis on the physical scale. Both male and female enter the “midlife crisis” which has a completely different impact on both. Testosterone and estrogen are the main fertility hormones which have a strong effect in this period. Female end there fertility at this stage of life and lose the ability to carry children. This has an emotional destabilizing effect which appears to be different in each individual. Male, on the other hand, seems unconscious to react to this phenomena by a twist of testosterone production and a psychological change of interest. Most males become, conscious or not, interested in younger women. It is suggested that the main reason is the loss of fertility in females of the same age.
• In the period between 60 – 70 the bio-balance moves to the 30% level were many physical abilities of the past must be considered lost. They do not return either On the biological level, the defense system becomes weaker and more diseases have a chance to attack. Most long-term diseases occur during this period and reduce abilities with an even greater factor. Muscular and joint system suffer the most of this period. Strength and flexibility decline through dysfunctioning of red muscle tissue and cartilage leaking. Additional supplementation of specific nutrients should be applied as a precaution for too many losses.
• The THIRD AGE MARKER is placed after the 70’s. It is here that the biomarker slowly moving to a different age border. Where the 70’s where considered a real old age less than 100 years ago it is now considered the new 60’s. Most 70+ persons are still vital and often even able to live an active life. But this all depends on how active they have been before. During this period the personal investment in physical and psychological development pay off. This is the Accumulative Activity theory of health. All past activities leave a mark for later use. At this stage, more people die and the factor of survival of the fittest becomes reality. The fittest are able not only to survive but enjoy life. Others have a life but are not sure they are still living a meaningful life. The bio-balance gets back to minus 30 and lower. “Fun to live, fine to love” is a saying that actually suits this period of life the most.

In current age-related studies there is the opinion most people become old but have a too long period of “sickness” / disease stretching out from 10 – 20 years, sometimes more. The economic effects of this are enormous.

Bringing this into general statistics and consider the male becomes 80+ and female 84+ years of age a 10 or 20 years of sickness it is compared to a 12,5 – 25% of a lifetime. The main goal of Age Control is to limit this as much as possible. Keeping every person physically able also cut the general cost of healthcare with around 25-30%.

Each older person not only suffers personally but need the care of at least 3 – 4 persons. This besides time spends in consultations, revalidation, therapy, operations and medication treatments. The aging of the population is continuing and expected to reach a global level of over 30% in 2030 and in some countries, this level is reached before this time.

For professionals in the care industry, it is important to have tools to work with. Using biomarkers is one way. Currently, biomarkers are considered measuring points on a chemical level. The goal is to create operational tools to improve life quality by measuring and comparing statistical data. A bio-balance can be measured using different age-marking points which have an individual value. These age-marking points are divided into different layers (levels) of research and goal. The proposal is to use a simple and professional leveling.

Measuring aging is an individual undertaking. Hereby dividing in genders and put on other criteria. Important effective trigger points are;

• Gender
• Climate
• Environment
• Work
• Family base
• Free time
• Mental state
• Intelligence

The 8 points of interest divide people into more specific measuring groups for the aging scale theory.

A bio-balance can be measured using different bio-trickier points which have an individual value. These bio-trickier points are divided into different layers (levels) of research and goal.
