LONG NOTES:
A wonderful book “Tao of Healing”, by Yoon Hang John Kim
Just did a life expectancy calculator. It only predicted I would live to 97. Darn.
A wonderful book “Tao of Healing”, was written by my former student Yoon Hang John Kim. He is a successful physician who explains how to care for yourself, how to interact with and be a good physician, and the wonderful benefits of Tai Chi, a martial art I have practiced for many years.
Sleep and Older Adults – Older adults need about the same amount of sleep as all adults — seven to nine hours each night. But older people tend to go to sleep earlier and get up earlier than they did when they were younger. Getting enough sleep helps you stay healthy and alert. However, many older people don’t sleep well.
Metformin Attenuates Osteoarthritis Progression by Modulating Mitochondrial Dynamics via Activation of the AMPK/Drp1 Pathway. This study demonstrates that metformin delays osteoarthritis progression by activating the AMPK/Drp1 pathway to modulate mitochondrial fission and mitophagy, attenuate oxidative stress, and restore chondrocyte function. These findings provide novel mechanistic insight into the therapeutic potential of metformin in osteoarthritis and highlight mitochondrial dynamics as a promising target for future OA interventions.
The Economist Feb 28 pg 70-New blood tests for early detection of cancer are being developed. The Galleri test checks for many forms of cancer, that can be detected earlier with this test. Pg 71 – Be sure to get enough fiber in your diet. It produces short chain fatty acids that keep your colon lining healthy, regulates your metabolism, appetite, and immune system. Eating 25-30g per day lowers the risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease. I eat granola almost every morning. Whole grain bread also helps.
