LONG NOTES:

AARP: Eating sugar speeds up your aging process.  Eating a lot of sugar causes your body to age at seven times its natural rate. Fructose may be more damaging because it is mainly metabolized in the liver where it becomes fat. “Epigenetic aging” refers to changes to your DNA based on external factors – stress, pollution, poor diet, lack of exercise.  Where is added sugar-condiments like ketchup and salad dressing, sauces, flavored yogurt, cereals including granola, peanut butter. Sugar makes your belly bigger, hurts nutritional status, damages your liver, increases risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, tooth loss, and makes menopause worse.

 

The Prospect of Human Age Reversal-Healthy young plasma contains tens of thousands of extracellular vesicles, exosomes, cytokines, growth factors, regulatory proteins and other molecules that may revitalize function and restore organ integrity in elderly individuals.⁵

 

The science of longer, healthier lives: Eric Topol, MD – Scripps Research.  How close are we to a future where aging is no longer a barrier to vitality? Scripps Research executive vice president and professor Eric Topol will discuss the themes of his new book on longevity. Drawing on the latest breakthroughs, he’ll explore how innovations in artificial intelligence and drug discovery are combating chronic diseases like cancer … The recording is here.

AARP: In addition to testing your cholesterol, you should request an ApoB test. It is a simple blood test the provides a more accurate picture of your cholesterol-related risk.  It counts the number of harmful particles that damagege arteries and cause heart disease.  Especially if you are overweight.  It can be lowered by lifestyle changes – exercise, better diet.

 

Something for expectant mothers to chew on. Israel’s TopGum (see here previously) has launched OMG3! -its new prenatal product which delivers all the crucial nutrients for expectant mothers in a natural fruity chewable. The “all-in-one” gummy houses essential omega-3 fatty acids as the principal ingredient.

 

Defective heart gene. (TY Rhoda) Researchers at Israel’s Clalit Research Institute & Rabin Medical Center (Beilinson) have discovered that the gene TRIM63 is a major genetic driver and risk factor for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the world’s most common hereditary heart disease. Screening could save many lives.

Partner for Parkinson’s blood test. (TY Atid-EDI) The previous article (see here) about a new rapid simple blood test for Parkinson’s Disease didn’t mention that the Hebrew University of Jerusalem had jointly developed the test with Israel’s ATED Therapeutics – a finalist in Fast Company’s 2024 World Changing Ideas.

 

It’s all in the mind. Neuroscientists at Israel’s Technion Institute have discovered that neural networks in the brain transition from a “beginner” to an “expert” structure when learning a new skill (e.g. playing sport). The process depends on the local release of dopamine in the motor cortex.
