SUBJ: The 401K for your brain is exercise.
SUBtitle: Iron accumulation drives fibrosis, senescence, etc
From my column last Sunday in the Rockford Register Star: Everyone benefits from schools, not just children and parents. Those without children who object to education taxes, should know that in 2022, it cost about $18,000 per year to educate a child. It costs about $61,304 per year to send a high school drop out to prison.

SHORT NOTES:
The 401K for your brain is exercise.
Iron accumulation drives fibrosis, senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype
A ketogenic diet reduces breast tumor growth and increases lifespan in a mouse model.
Data-driven hope for the planet. The human world is almost universally changing for the better.
Consuming adequate amounts of several vitamins and minerals—including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc—is important for proper immune function.
According to a 2020 study, up to half of the US population may be magnesium deficient. Nuts provide magnesium.
The Information Theory of Aging suggests that aging results from losing epigenetic information, and its retrieval through reprogramming could reverse aging.

From the December Longevity Research Newsletter (From DLR) Iron accumulation drives fibrosis, senescence and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype
From DLR The effect of a ketogenic diet and synergy with rapamycin in a mouse model of breast cancer. A ketogenic diet, compared to standard mouse chow, effectively reduces breast tumor growth and increases lifespan in a mouse model, particularly when combined with the anti-cancer drug rapamycin. Nutrition Investigator notes, BHB and fatty15 supplements together mimic both the ketogenic diet and a drug like rapamycin.
Science 5 Jan 24, pg 37-Data-driven hope for the planet. Book by Hannah Ritchie is to convince young people to shake off climate doom and address the unprecendented environmental challenges of our times, with urgent optimism. The human world is almost universally changing for the better, and we already have most if not all of the capabilities needed to address air pollution, climate change, deforestation, food supply, biodiversity loss, ocean plastics, and overfishing. She highlights specific solutions.
From NIH: Dietary Supplements: Are They Helpful for Immune Function and Infectious Diseases? See this fact sheet in versions for health professionals and consumers in English and Spanish. Consuming adequate amounts of several vitamins and minerals—including vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, and zinc—is important for proper immune function.
According to a 2020 study, up to half of the US population may be magnesium deficient. This is because the standard diet in the US only contains about half of the recommended daily allowance of magnesium, which is 420 mg for men and 320 mg for women. Whole grains and dark-green, leafy vegetables are good sources of magnesium. Low-fat milk and yogurt contain magnesium. Dried beans and legumes (such as soybeans, baked beans, lentils, and peanuts) and nuts (such as almonds and cashews) provide magnesium.
From DLR The Information Theory of Aging – Biological information is stored in two ways: the genome as a blueprint, and the epigenome which regulates gene expression. The Information Theory of Aging suggests that aging results from losing epigenetic information, and its retrieval through reprogramming could reverse aging.
