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 […]

Nutrient Intervention for Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness. It often progresses without symptoms until it succeeds in damaging the optic nerve. Up to 50% of people with glaucoma remain undiagnosed, and as many as one in ten individuals aged 80 or older are afflicted by it. Encouraging news reveals that several of glaucoma’s underlying causative factors may be prevented and even reversed through natural interventions, offering new hope to the millions at risk for this widespread, debilitating condition. In this article, you will learn of a recently published human study revealing how proprietary, standardized extracts of French maritime pine bark and bilberry may effectively target the underlying mechanisms that […]

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 […]

Low Calorie Diet Slows Down Aging Process

A new research has found that having a diet low in calories can reduce the aging process. The study conducted by the researchers at the Neuroscientists at NYU Langone Medical Center on female mice, has shown that calorie-reduced diets stop the normal rise and fall in activity levels of close to 900 different genes linked to aging and memory formation in the brain. Senior study investigator Stephen D. Ginsberg, said that their study showed how calorie restriction practically arrests gene expression levels involved in the aging phenotype-how some genes determine the behavior of mice, people, and other mammals as they get old. Ginsberg […]
