I will breath deeply for I refuse to leave my cells unoxygenated. I will guard my mind vigilantly when receiving a “diagnosis”. And will use my own voice and power to make my body strong. Be nourished by whole foods and quality supplementation. Getting clean water and fresh air and most important sunshine. Be away fromContinue reading “Your thoughts can have a profound impact on your health”

Why women have more Alzheimer’s disease than men
Gender and mitochondrial toxicity of amyloid-beta peptide The main risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are age and gender. The incidence of the disease is higher in women than in men, and this cannot simply be attributed to the higher longevity of women versus men. Thus, there must be a specific pathogenic mechanism toContinue reading “Why women have more Alzheimer’s disease than men”
Natural communication breakdown in aging
A naturally produced compound rewinds aspects of age-related demise in mice. Researchers have discovered a cause of aging in mammals that may be reversible. The essence of this finding is a series of molecular events that enable communication inside cells between the nucleus and mitochondria. As communication breaks down, aging accelerates. By administering a moleculeContinue reading “Natural communication breakdown in aging”
Is low blood sugar genetic?
20:80 is my guess. Our genes affect us 20% of the time while our environment and lifestyle affects us 80% of the time (epigenetics). Each person metabolize glucose or drugs or food in the liver differently. Pharmacogenetic tests classified these into 4 groups of people. We have to choose good carbohydrates from whole foods (coloredContinue reading “Is low blood sugar genetic?”
Brain Metabolism Predicts Fluid Intelligence in Young Adults
A healthy brain is critical to a person’s cognitive abilities, but measuring brain health can be a complicated endeavor. A new study by University of Illinois researchers reports that healthy brain metabolism corresponds with fluid intelligence – a measure of one’s ability to solve unusual or complex problems – in young adults. The results areContinue reading “Brain Metabolism Predicts Fluid Intelligence in Young Adults”
Blood Vessels Age Well
Study finds that arteries adapt to oxidative stress caused by aging. Although the causes of many age-related diseases remain unknown, oxidative stress is thought to be the main culprit. Oxidative stress has been linked to cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases including diabetes, hypertension and age-related cancers. However, researchers at the University of Missouri recently found thatContinue reading “Blood Vessels Age Well”
4 longevity genes: Myc, Oct 3/4 , Sox 2 and Klf4
Except for early response genes, Myc universally upregulates gene expression. Furthermore, the upregulation is nonlinear. Genes whose expression is already significantly upregulated in the absence of Myc are strongly boosted in the presence of Myc, whereas genes whose expression is low in the absence Myc get only a small boost when Myc is present.[14] InactivationContinue reading “4 longevity genes: Myc, Oct 3/4 , Sox 2 and Klf4”
20 grams of nuts each day linked to reduced risk for cancer and other diseases
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”
Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care
In biochemistry, a metabolic pathway is a linked series of chemical reactions occurring within a cell. The reactants, products, and intermediates of an enzymatic reaction are known as metabolites, which are modified by a sequence of chemical reactions catalyzed by enzymes.[1] In a metabolic pathway, the product of one enzyme acts as the substrate forContinue reading “Metabolic pathway provides cues for cancer, aging and health care”
Low glucose and low stress to go to sleep
There are many factors that will help you go to sleep. There are two most important factors. One is that if you eat (few bites) sugary snacks (couple it with fish oil or omega 3), it should be 6 to 8 hrs before your sleep time. And the other one is that your stress levelContinue reading “Low glucose and low stress to go to sleep”

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”
