100 Million Americans At Risk for Fracture From This:

Like many people, you may get acid indigestion at times.  The first thing you do is reach for your favorite over-the-counter antacid to get relief.  But, what if I told you that every time you use that antacid, you increase your risk of a life-threatening fracture?  It’s true.  Here’s why. Your Favorite Antacid Is Damaging Your Bones If you’re over 50, your risk for osteoporosis and a debilitating, life-changing fracture is much greater.  Hormonal decreases in both older men and women can create mineral insufficiencies and weaken your bones.  It can put you at higher risk for debilitating fractures of […]

Living Longer: Can the Future Be Bright?

The Twentieth Century gave us quite a gift: an average of 30 more years of life then people had in the previous century. What to do with all those extra years of living? In A Long Bright Future, Laura Carstensen, the founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity, has envisioned a new approach to life, one that allows us to put to best use the extra years we have gained. She calls for nothing less than a major re-envisioning of our life cycle, one that allows for more flexibility and leisure throughout our younger years and a more active, […]

Apple Polyphenols and Longevity

In the last year alone, scientists from three different laboratories have published studies that demonstrate how polyphenol molecules derived from apples extend life span in various species by as much as 12%. These researchers are unraveling the various mechanisms of action that give apple polyphenols such promise as anti-aging nutrients. Initial findings show that apple polyphenols modulate multiple signaling molecules to delay the onset of age-related disorders. They may also mimic the actions of calorie restriction, a known antiaging technique. One polyphenol, phloridzin, which is heavily concentrated in the skin of the apple, also potently suppresses several processes leading to glycation, […]

Soda May Accelerate Aging

As if the health risks of soda weren’t already enough, a new study shows it may also be linked to accelerated aging. In a study, telomeres, the end caps of DNA strands that serve as a marker for aging, were found to be shortened in people who drink soda. The results were published in the American Journal for Public Health. Soda Aged Cells by About Five Years In previous studies, the length of telomeres has been associated with disease and mortality. Shortened telomeres are linked to cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Researchers surveyed over 5,000 Americans between the ages of 20 to 65 years. They […]

Excess Iron Could Accelerate Aging

Research conducted in roundworms, described in the November 2014 issue of the journal Aging, indicates that iron, beyond accumulating with aging, could actually contribute to the condition. Gordon Lithgow, PhD, of the Buck Institute and his associates studied the effects of iron in Caenorhabditis elegans, a nematode that has been the subject of numerous experiments in the field of gerontology. The research team discovered that the accumulation of calcium, copper, iron, and manganese increased with age, and that potassium and phosphorus levels tended to decline. Acting on the knowledge of iron’s role in neurodegenerative-associated protein aggregation, they investigated the effects of adding the […]

Halt Sugar-Induced Cell Aging

Diabetics have long been known to age faster than healthy individuals. The mechanism behind the accelerated destruction of cells, tissues, and organs observed in diabetics is called glycation, the dangerous binding of sugars to proteins.1 The resulting sugar-protein complex is known as an advanced glycation end product or AGE. In the laboratory, glycation’s effect on living tissues was found to be identical to the process by which meat is browned when cooked at high temperatures. Healthy proteins also turn brown in the presence of excess glucose and become functionally impaired. Scientists have confirmed that this destructive process may also occur in healthy individuals when blood glucose levels are sustained above 85 mg/dL, […]

High-doses of Vitamin D Prevents Bone Breaks In Elderly

High dose vitamin D supplements could reduce fractures in the elderly by more than 20%, UK researchers said. The brittlebone disease osteoporosis is common among the elderly, but scientists at the University of Cambridge in Englandhave shown that large doses of vitamin D, taken only every four months, can cut the risk of broken bones among 65 to 85 year olds. “Total fracture incidence was reduced by 22 percent and fractures in major osteroporotic sites by 33 percent,” Kay Tee Khaw, a professor of clinical gerontology, reports in the March 1st issue of the British Medical Journal. Fractures of the hip, wrist and spine are most closely linked […]
