A large analysis of current research shows that people who eat at least 20g of nuts a day have a lower risk of heart disease, cancer and other diseases. The analysis of all current studies on nut consumption and disease risk has revealed that 20g a day – equivalent to a handful – canContinue reading “20 grams of nuts each day linked to reduced risk for cancer and other diseases”

Nutrigenomics, anti-aging and obesity
Nutrigenomics is a branch of nutritional genomics and is the study of the effects of foods and food constituents on gene expression.[1] This means that nutrigenomics is research focusing on identifying and understanding molecular-level interaction between nutrients and other dietary bioactiveswith the genome. Nutrigenomics has also been described by the influence of genetic variation onContinue reading “Nutrigenomics, anti-aging and obesity”
My aunt had goat’s milk instead of breast milk during the war
My aunt Monang had goat’s milk instead of breast milk during the Japanese war in the Philippines. Now she is 70 yrs old and still looking healthy. She is skinny looking but has no health issues. She gets plenty of nature walks in the sun and loves veggies and fish. Children can benefit from goat’sContinue reading “My aunt had goat’s milk instead of breast milk during the war”

Energy and Anatomy = Cancer and aging
Two types of people Tightly coupled: Only needs to eat less to arrive at required energy level Loosely coupled: Needs to eat more to arrive at required energy level Sun energy and glucose for energy production Nucleus is energy limited Mitochondrial DNA crosstalk: 10% changes in mtDNA has a greater effect in epigenetic expression Continue reading “Energy and Anatomy = Cancer and aging”

TP53 gene affects tumor suppression
Peto’s Paradox is the observation, due to Richard Peto, that at the species level, the incidence of cancer does not appear to correlate with the number of cells in an organism.[215] For example, the incidence of cancer in humans is much higher than the incidence of cancer in whales.[216] This is despite the fact thatContinue reading “TP53 gene affects tumor suppression”
Have you lowered your cholesterol through lifestyle changes?
I chew my food more, added probiotics and some supplements (CQ10, folic+Vit B complex, Calcium+Magnesium+Zinc) and always avoided sugar (but still eats 3 bites of chocolates every other day. I breath more, watch my body for any signs of distress (skin issues, pains, lack of sleep, mouth health, sleep quality, urine color, others). I haveContinue reading “Have you lowered your cholesterol through lifestyle changes?”
Tumor genes
Gene expression profiling is a technique used in molecular biology to query the expression of thousands of genes simultaneously. While almost all cells in an organism contain the entire genome of the organism, only a small subset of those genes is expressed as messenger RNA (mRNA) at any given time, and their relative expression canContinue reading “Tumor genes”
Sensory Neurons Modulate Aging Hormone
Summary: A new study suggests the taste or smell of food acts on sensory neurons, which could produce a type of aging hormone. Source: POSTECH. Animals can perceive changes in many environmental factors such as temperature and the taste or smell of foods. This is achieved by specialized nerve cells called sensory neurons. Interestingly, sensoryContinue reading “Sensory Neurons Modulate Aging Hormone”
SCRIB and DISC1 genes and mental disorders, schizophrenia
Summary: A protein called Scribble (SCRIB gene) appears to orchestrate the intracellular signaling process for forgetting, a new study reports. Source: University of Edinburgh. More than one thousand people have had their entire genetic make-up decoded as part of a long-term study to gain insight into why some people’s brains age better than others. ScientistsContinue reading “SCRIB and DISC1 genes and mental disorders, schizophrenia”
REST is lost in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease
Human neurons are functional over an entire lifetime, yet the mechanisms that preserve function and protect against neurodegeneration during ageing are unknown. A study shows that induction of the repressor element 1-silencing transcription factor (REST; also known as neuron-restrictive silencer factor, NRSF) is a universal feature of normal ageing in human cortical and hippocampal neurons.Continue reading “REST is lost in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease”
Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan
Comprehensive study finds 238 genes that affect aging in yeast cells. Following an exhaustive, ten-year effort, scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and the University of Washington have identified 238 genes that, when removed, increase the replicative lifespan of S. cerevisiae yeast cells. This is the first time 189 of these genesContinue reading “Mapping Genes That Increase Lifespan”
