Umbilical cord blood-A great source to fight ageing and other diseases

During the birth of a child, the umbilical cord needs to be cut. Further the blood which is left in the cord is generally discarded as a waste. But now it has been identified that this blood actually contains stem cells hence it’s highly useful for the mankind. Stem cells generate blood cells which are responsible for a younger looking skin, thus are useful in preventing ageing as well. Apart from this extremely important use, these cells are also very useful to treat diseases such as leukemia, cancer and many other diseases. Moreover, umbilical cord blood is easy to transplant with a painless procedure.
