LONG NOTES:

This is a wonderful song my best friend wrote, thinking of me.  If you know any company who would like to license it for advertising, please have them contact me: Pills, pills, pills

 

Science 9/16 pg 1275 – Sleep deprivation impairs function in the human brain region responsible for altruism and disrupts emotional processing.

 

Reader comment: All depends on the quality of the conducted studies … we need an information filter: Roc responds-I agree completely. I try to be that information filter, trying to use reliable sources with links to the actual publications. I am glad to investigate any you have questions about.

 

Algae for mind and body. A recent clinical study has shown that AstaPure Arava® by Israel’s Solabia- Algatech Nutrition (which is similar to Spirulina which I take) benefits the immune system and lowers stress. It boosts the gut microbiome while lowering the stress hormone cortisol. The result is a much better resistance to infections.

 

Experimental studies have demonstrated that intracellular Mg2+ deficiency is a common feature of chronic pain in animal models and supplement Mg2+ are capable of normalizing the neuroinflammation. Normalization of Neuroinflammation: A New Strategy for Treatment of Persistent Pain and Memory/Emotional Deficits in Chronic Pain

 

Resveratrol Prevents Skeletal Muscle Atrophy and Senescence via Regulation of Histone Deacetylase 2 in Cigarette Smoke-Induced Mice with Emphysema

Conclusion: RSV prevents CS-induced skeletal muscle atrophy and senescence, and upregulation of HDAC2 expression and suppression of inflammation are involved.

 

Common cancer sites – breast, lung, prostate, colorectal, and melanoma

 

Science 9/16 pg 1275 – TMAO is a newly discovered molecule that slows tumor growth.

 

My son (12), diagnosed with ASD, ADHD, ADD, started taking Guanfacine (4mg) about 6 weeks ago. It took us 4 weeks to build up to the full dose and once we got there, we’ve had better days than we’ve had in YEARS.

 

Habits to Reduce Your Risk of Stroke- Stop smoking, Eat better, Get active, Lose weight, Manage blood pressure, Control cholesterol, Reduce blood sugar, sleep!

 

An entertaining note: even though cryobiology is very far from aging research, think of spending 50 weeks in cryo and 2 weeks awake – you could fast forward life (or survive the nuclear holocaust).

AARP-4 Supplements You Don’t After 50 (Which Roc disagrees with totally)-vitamin E (but it is crucial for AREDsII), vitamin C (I disagree completely, especially to prevent stroke damage), folic acid (still essential to maintain epigenome marking to control your DNA expression), beta-carotene (still important, but only get it by eating vegetables).

 

Finding the right antidepressant. Israel’s Genetika+ is developing a precision tool to determine if a particular antidepressant will work for an individual. It will also apparently highlight any side effects. (See also Taliaz.)

 

AARP-5 Ways to Lower Your Cholesterol-Know your numbers, drink filtered coffee, Eggs are OK — cheese and butter, not so much,  if you quit smoking, maintain a healthy weight and get enough exercise — research suggests something like “moderate” activity, which is about 30 minutes a day, five days a week, Eat fewer fried and fatty foods, Statins — medications used to lower bad cholesterol and reduce a patient’s risk of having a heart attack or a stroke — can be effective, “even in people over the age of 75,” Newman says.

WebMD-Better Skin After 50-opt for a creamy cleansing formula that hydrates instead of foam or gel cleansers, which can strip moisture away, Skip long, hot showers and put on moisturizer while your skin is still damp, a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher, and wear it every day, Use moisturizer on your face, Fade skin spots with exfoliating products that shed dead skin cells, use moisturizer often on your hands, Eating foods with antioxidants may help make your skin stronger from the inside out, Soy is rich in isoflavones, Try yoga, meditation, and other stress-reduction techniques to help you relax, Exercise does more than just tone your muscles. It helps skin in two ways. First, it relieves stress. Exercise also boosts circulation, Getting enough sleep helps your skin look fresh.
