Cost of staying young and delaying aging
Having more time to relax and enjoy the culture and environment around you can delay the aging process. While doing that, you breath deeply and savor with all your senses things around you.
Note that sense of smell and taste are decreased with aging especially as Alzheimer or Parkinson’s disease progress.

Skin and nerves need Vit C, A, D, E, calcium-magnesium and B complex
Neuroscientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine have discovered how the sense of touch is wired in the skin and nervous system. The new findings, published Dec. 22 in Cell, open new doors for understanding how the brain collects and processes information from hairy skin.
“You can deflect a single hair on your arm and feel it, but how can you tell the difference between a raindrop, a light breeze or a poke of a stick?” says David Ginty, Ph.D., professor of neuroscience at Johns Hopkins. “Touch is not yes or no; it’s very rich, and now we’re starting to understand how all those inputs are processed.”
Mitochondrial disease , anti-oxidants, nutrition test and Dementia
Mitochondrial diseases are a group of disorders caused by dysfunctional mitochondria, the organelles that generate energy for the cell. Mitochondria are found in every cell of the human body except red blood cells, and convert the energy of food molecules into the ATP that powers most cell functions.
Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement
Sensory neurons regulate how we recognize pain, touch, and the movement and position of our own bodies, but the field of neuroscience is just beginning to unravel this circuitry. Now, new research from the Salk Institute shows how a protein called p75 is critical for pain signaling, which could one day have implications for treating neurological disorders as well as trauma such as spinal cord injury.

Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age
Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age Summary: According to a PLOS ONE study, a person’s intraindividual reaction time variability may be an independent predictor of mortality. Source: PLOS. A common indicator of neurobiological disturbance among the elderly may also be associated with mortality, according to a study publishedContinue reading “Reaction Time Variation May Be a Marker That Predicts Mortality in Old Age”
Slow the aging process by lengthening your telomeres
Telomeres, the tiny units of DNA at the very end of each chromosome, shorten over time because they cannot fully replicate each time the cell divides. Hence, as you get older, your telomeres get shorter and shorter. But a growing body of research is showing that certain nutrients play a huge role in protecting, orContinue reading “Slow the aging process by lengthening your telomeres”
