SUBtitle: Green Tea consumption is linked to reduced depression levels
“When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.”― Thich Nhat Hanh

LONG NOTES:
“Conclusion: Resveratrol protects against abdominal aortic aneurysm by inhibiting extracellular matrix degradation, apoptosis, autophagy, and inflammation of Vascular smooth muscle cells via HMOX1 upregulation.”
Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Green Tea (Camellia sinensis L.) in Anti-Aging: A Comprehensive Review of Mechanisms and Findings. The literature survey suggested that GT consumption is linked to improved cognition, reduced depression levels, and activation of pathways in model organisms like C. elegans. Additionally, tea polyphenols enhance fibroblast mitophagy, boost hippocampal synaptic plasticity in rodents, and mitigate age-related cognitive decline.
Influence of Knee Osteoarthritis Severity, Knee Pain, and Depression on Physical Function: A Cross-Sectional Study. Decreased physical function with increasing life expectancy is a public health concern worldwide. Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is considered one of the primary illnesses causing decreased physical function. Depression affects decreased physical function and is closely related to knee pain in KOA. [Walking, Yoga, Tai Chi, and meditation are important for maintaining health during arthritis.] risks of indoor air pollution.
Impact of Indoor Air Pollutants on the Cardiovascular Health Outcomes of Older Adults: Systematic Review. The increased mortality, morbidity, hospitalization, and emergency rooms visits resulting from indoor air pollution associated CVDs makes indoor air pollution a health risk for older adults. Indoor air pollution accounts for approximately 3.8 million inopportune deaths annually at global level. Due to spending more time indoors, children and older adults are especially susceptible to the health
Researchers in China successfully treated three individuals with severe autoimmune conditions using bioengineered and CRISPR-modified immune cells from a healthy donor. The treatment marks the first use of donor-derived CAR T-cell therapy for autoimmune disorders. It improved symptoms and led to remission for all three patients. The breakthrough could lead to more accessible and cost-effective treatments for autoimmune diseases.
Rapamycin – might work on skin tags. Efficacy and Safety of Topical Rapamycin in Patients With Facial Angiofibromas Secondary to Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. This randomized clinical trial of 179 patients showed clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement in the appearance of TSC-related facial angiofibromas were observed for both the 1% rapamycin and 0.1% rapamycin treatment groups vs the vehicle-only group, and also for 1% vs 0.1% rapamycin. The topical application of rapamycin was well tolerated and systemic absorption was not observed.
From Kevin Fickenscher-The Slippery Slope – A recent 2024 Gallup poll offered a somber outline on the perspective of Americans towards the medical and health system. Specifically, only 34% of Americans still trust the medical system! If only 34% TRUST the MEDICAL SYSTEM, the collective WE have our work cut out for us!!
In a new report from JAMA Network Open researchers found that death and falling were associated with a 21% increased risk of a subsequent dementia diagnosis. The claims were for older adults who had a traumatic injury leading to an emergency room visit as a result of a fall.
the data shows very clearly that physical exercise is a proven modality of not only managing but also preventing chronic disease. This is especially apropos for any adults 65 and older such as an increased number of independent living years, reduced risk of falling – one of the major contributors to decline among the elderly – and improved brain health in the form of reduced dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease. If you’re looking for more immediate results consider the value of sleep quality, reduction in blood pressure, weight loss (a good thing unless you’re ill), bone health derived from exercise, and less anxiety.
It was very disturbing to read an Associated Press release noting that: “…U.S. kindergarten vaccination rates dipped last year and the proportion of children with exemptions rose to an all-time high, according to federal data…where the percent “of kids exempted from vaccine requirements rose to 3.3%, up from 3% the year before.”
The Bad – I don’t mean to be quite so repetitive but, MISINFORMATION that is intentionally spread as a mode for seeking power is destructive to conversation and resolution of any problem.
The Ugly – The tenor of discourse throughout the world but especially here in the USA!
