There have been some really interesting news stories during the past few weeks that I wanted to share with you.
In recognition of Alzheimer's month lets start with some of the smaller discoveries that will help the Average person.
Here is a great list of basic life changes that can delay the onset and intensity of Alzheimer's Disease.
In addition, a lot of information coming out on exercise and muscle mass may be indicators of slowing Alzheimer's. Again this points to how important a healthy lifestyle is.
Telomere research is some of the most exciting longevity research out there right now. As our DNA divides to form new cells, the ends of it fray, much like a shoe lace does without that hard plastic tip. However, something called Telomere's can form caps, much like the plastic part of a shoe lace, letting the DNA last forever.
This has two interesting aspects. The first is that many types of cancer cells grow because of this, they use telomeres to allow themselves to keep growing and dividing. On the other hand,if our dna never degrades, it could lead to new roads in the anti-aging fields.
Antioxidants can help fight off the flu and other ailments.
Pomegranates might help men fight prostate cancer according to recent research. And you know I can't help but point out that our Ultimate Antioxidant and Vibrance Liquid Multivitamin contain pomegranate.
In other prostate cancer fighting news, studies have shown that lowering cholesterol can help as well.
Curcumin, found in some spices, is already being used for numerous health reasons. Recent research has suggested it may help fight cancer.
