Monday Newsday
I found a few interesting stories on a couple of different subjects that I thought I would share.
First of all the Nobel prize in medicine has gone to a group of people researching Telomeres and Telemase. It's exciting research that discusses how aging can occur on a cellular level, specifically when dna splits as cells divide.

Next the new wave of ECO dentistry. Now you can sit in the chair knowing that natural made products are causing you all the pain! I kid, I'm a big fan of dental health and good flossing.

Finally for today, an interesting article suggesting that babies being born now will live to be 100 or older. This is based on life-span trends. That's pretty neat.

Ageing and Resveratrol
For those of us who are concerned with aging, it is important to not only find out what makes us live longer, but what makes us live healthier. Who wants to live to be 150 if you spend the last 75 years in poor health? At ReserveAge Organics, Longevity is about remaining active, healthy and independent for your entire life, no matter how old you live to be.
The simple fact is that as we age our bodies’ stop working as well.
Some of this is simply due to having lived. We eat foods that aren’t always good for us, leading to increased cholesterol, fat and other substances. We are active and damage ourselves with bumps, falls and other things that place strain on our bodies. We live in a modern world full of pollutants and chemicals that were never meant to be processed by the human body. All of this takes its toll on our bodies, leading to wear and tear on our joints, muscles, organs, blood vessels and even our very cells.
Some of it is simply nature though; our bodies weren’t made to last forever. Our skin starts to lose its firmness, our organs begin to work less efficiently and our immune systems start to have trouble responding to threats. In addition, normal bodily functions create something called free-radicals, which are damaging to our DNA, but we will discuss this in greater detail later.
It’s the worst possible situation. Our lives lead to an accumulation of bodily wear and tear and to make matters worse our bodies start to have trouble repairing this damage!
It’s important to understand that these accumulations of natural and unnatural damage lead to many of the negative effects we associate with growing older. Painful joints, sagging skin, wrinkles, memory problems, cardiovascular disease, lethargy, some cancers, obesity, diabetes and more are caused in part or aggravated by this damage.
One of the most interesting effects of aging happens on a cellular level. Our cells actually contain the ability to heal themselves. As children, our cells are very good at this and heal easily. As we age though, the cells begin to falter. As damage builds up in a cell, it begins to work less efficiently and dies more easily. This means that heart muscle cells don’t work as hard, white blood cells become less effective against disease, our skin cells don’t stay as springy and so on. In a very real sense, this is directly responsible for many of the negative effects on our body that we associate with aging.
Numerous medical studies, largely in animals or in human tissue cultures, have shown that trans-Resveratrol may be able to slow or even stop much of what we refer to as aging. It is a rich anti-oxidant which helps are body fights some cancers. It is a known anti-inflammatory which can help with cardiovascular diseases and even rheumatoid arthritis. Perhaps one of its most exciting benefits though, is that in many animals it actually increases their lifespan by as much as 20%.
Resveratrol could potentially allow us to live longer, while staying healthier.

Longevity News –
Health research has a tendency to demonize certain food groups and I think we can all agree that red meat gets a pretty bad rap. It tends to be fattier, eaten in too-large quantities and worse for the heart. However, recent research suggests that red meat, and this is the important part, when eaten in moderation may actually be better for you than not eating red meat at all.
Check out the story here and then go have a burger.
For the vegetarians/vegans out there, don’t worry too much. Even if eating red meat as part of a healthy diet might be slightly better, not eating red meat as part of a healthy diet is still much better for you than the typical American diet.
Everyone have a great week and don’t forget to take your Resveratrol.
