Use It or Lose It Summary: LMU researchers report neural activity in the auditory system has a direct effect on myelination. Higher levels of neural activity resulted in the formation of thicker myelin sheaths and enhanced speed of signal transmission. Source: LMU. An LMU study reveals that sound-evoked activity of neurons in the auditory systemContinue reading “Use It or Lose It”

CQ10 for seniors and the aging brain
Coenzyme Q10 is a molecule found in mitochondria. It has a critical role in producing energy for the body. When you are taking statins meds for hypercholesterol, CQ10 is recommended. Some cosmetics for firming and toning the skin include CQ10. I take CQ10 after an intense workout. Those with chronic fatigue needs CQ10 supplementation. ConnieContinue reading “CQ10 for seniors and the aging brain”
Anti aging, exercise, low calorie, AMPK, rose hips and Gynostemma
AMPK Activator is an oral formula that turns on AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase), an enzyme that serves as the body’s master regulating switch. Increased AMPK activity helps to revitalize aging cells, promote mitochondrial production, and inhibit multiple damaging factors associated with aging. But despite all of the scientific research, supplemental support for youthful AMPKContinue reading “Anti aging, exercise, low calorie, AMPK, rose hips and Gynostemma”
Metabolism is life sustaining and sum of all chemical reactions for growth and death of cells
Metabolism (from Greek: μεταβολή metabolē, “change”) is the set of life-sustaining chemical transformations within the cells of living organisms. The three main purposes of metabolism are the conversion of food/fuel to energy to run cellular processes, the conversion of food/fuel to building blocks for proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and some carbohydrates, and the elimination ofContinue reading “Metabolism is life sustaining and sum of all chemical reactions for growth and death of cells”
Levels of DNA methylation reflect a person’s age
Certain DNA changes can better predict a person’s life expectancy than traditional risk factors such as age. The findings could lead to novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of aging and new ways to evaluate methods for slowing the rate of aging. “Epigenetic age” might represent a person’s biological age more accurately than the numberContinue reading “Levels of DNA methylation reflect a person’s age”
Calorie restricted diet to live long and healthy
Not only did their calorie restricted diet ( CR) monkeys look remarkably younger – with more hair, less sag, and brown instead of grey – than monkeys that were fed a standard diet, they were healthier on the inside too, free from pathology. Cancers, such as the common intestinal adenocarcinoma, were reduced by over 50%.Continue reading “Calorie restricted diet to live long and healthy”

Blood plasma of young mice has regenerative effect when transfused into older animals
For centuries, people have yearned for an elixir capable of restoring youth to their aging bodies and minds. It sounds like pure fantasy, but, in recent years, researchers have shown that the blood of young mice can exert a regenerative effect when transfused into older animals. Now, one of the NIH-funded teams that brought us thoseContinue reading “Blood plasma of young mice has regenerative effect when transfused into older animals”
Key Pathway in Inflammation and Aging Identified
Summary: Findings provide insight into key processes of inflammation and could also have implications for treating neurodegenerative diseases, researchers report. Source: Yale. In patients with colitis, a serious condition affecting the gut, the immune system turns against the body’s own microbes, causing inflammation. To combat this inflammation, scientists have focused in on a chemical signalContinue reading “Key Pathway in Inflammation and Aging Identified”
Fish oil, creatine and CQ10 protect your mitochondria
Your brain needs Vitamin B complex and sulfur to protect its myelin sheaths preventing MS. Foods High in Creatine. Especially those contained in beef, salmon, and tuna. It is accounted that about one pound of beef consists of 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, and one pound of red meat contains 2 grams of creatine monohydrate. There isContinue reading “Fish oil, creatine and CQ10 protect your mitochondria”
Being alone, sedentary and more medicated, ages us more
The good news is that by stopping your “bad” habits, you can look and feel younger. Here are the top 10 causes of inflammaging and tips on how to stop and counteract the effects of each: 1. Getting “fat” You may have heard about white fat and brown fat. White fat is a visceral fatContinue reading “Being alone, sedentary and more medicated, ages us more”
Researchers find clue to repair of aging DNA
At a Glance Scientists discovered that a well-known compound called NAD+ plays an unexpected role in DNA repair. The findings suggest potential strategies to help protect against cancer, blunt damage from chemotherapy and radiation, and even slow some aspects of aging. When NAD+ (red) binds to the DBC1 protein (beige), it prevents DBC1 from attachingContinue reading “Researchers find clue to repair of aging DNA”
Depression to Dementia
(i) Individuals who develop depression at any point in their lives, sustain minimal or no depression-related neuropathology (eg, glucocorticoid neurotoxicity), and who have stable, normal cognitive functioning; (ii) Individuals who develop depression at any point and who experience depression-related neuropathology that results in MCI that is stable (unless they experience additional depressive episodes); (iii) IndividualsContinue reading “Depression to Dementia”
