Nutrition for Improved Health

Nutrition for a healthy lifestyle can be a life-sized step in maintaining your body’s physiological performance and your mind’s well-being. prissy nutrition is often neglected in this day and age, with most people opting for swift food’s convenience and low price. However, there are plenty of foods you can eat that are simple to prepare and contrabass in cost that can help give your body the materials it needs to be in its best employed condition. Eating new fruits and vegetables is a must. They provide the body with nutrients it cannot receive elsewhere, and often feature anti-oxidants, a type of dissected which helps the body to fight off free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that attack the cell membranes in your body, resulting in grave damage. Anti oxidants can be saved in such foods as wild blueberries and tomatoes. Nutrition for a well-preserved lifestyle can also be maintained finished regular use of supplements.
	 	 

Understanding The Types Of Cholesterol

While most people talk about “cholesterol levels” there is in fact much than one type of cholesterol. In fact, there are several different body functions and single different substances that make up our understanding of “cholesterol.” As with whatsoever fats, cholesterol cannot be dissolved in the blood. Instead, molecules called lipoproteins carry cholesterol to and from cells. Molecules are ready-made from an external layer of protein and an inside core of some cholesterol and triglycerides, which is other form of fat. Lipoproteins equip the cholesterol to move around the body. The two important types of lipoproteins are:
	 	 

Build Health: Go To School On Suzanne Sommers Misfortune

Did you see the Larry King Live show where Suzanne Sommers wise to us she was a victim of breast cancer? Until past the butt-mastering, thigh-mastering Ms. Sommers was thought to be a model of good health. Not only that, legions of her fans followed the Suzanne Sommers’ Diet. Suzanne known that as a model of good health she had to set an example and eat the right foods. Well, if she was eating complete the right foods, why the cancer? Some experts have theorized that Ms. Sommers carries a disease gene that resulted in her cancer. Just like us, she has more than 30,000 genes that provide the coded instructions to: (1) Shape her body, and (2) Make it run.
	 	 

Understanding Cholesterol

Whenever the word cholesterol comes up in any conversation, almost always, people are speaking about how higher levels of cholesterol can be distressing for your body and can equal be fatal. What one never hears about is the fact that cholesterol is unexpendable for our bodies. Here’s a look at the cholesterol molecule, and how it benefits our bodies. The cholesterol molecule is a wax like greasy substance, which comes from a family of molecules known as steroids. The cholesterol molecule is present in our blood, as well as complete the cells in body tissue. A cholesterol molecule does not enter our bodies finished food, but is made by different parts of our body. Body tissues that have highly packed membranes, such as the liver, arethoma, etc are celebrated to produce much cholesterol molecules and have more cholesterol present in their cells.

CRP And Your Heart

Lee Cummings Monitoring your CRP equal is vitally influential because it is one of the best indicators of heart disease. C-Reactive Protein has proven to be one of the best indicators of looming Heart disease. Find out why high cholesterol uncomparable is NOT obligated for heart disease. And you will find out how to keep your CRP Level in the normal range. Because your body produces C-Reactive Protein as part of your body’s defense – same when you are injured, it signals your immune system for help. Your immune system sends out white blood cells and unhealthy molecules (including C-Reactive Protein) to the injured area. This defensive system causes inflammation which is damaging to blood vessels and leads to heart disease. Because this is an continuous process, not like an ankle injury which heals and past inflammation goes away. Elevated C-Reactive Protein levels are an early indication of inflammation in the body. When there is inflammation in the body, there is usually a problem. Realize this is why C-Reactive Protein is a great indicator. Naturally you can easily understand that C-Reactive Protein is a better indicator of heart disease than cholesterol. A big study on CRP backs this up. The New England Journal of Medicine published A report where nearly 28,000 people participated in a study of CRP. Researchers in the study old LDL cholesterol and CRP to predict heart attacks and stroke. What the researchers found was that CRP was a better predictor of cardiac events than LDL cholesterol -1 So – what can you do to keep your C-Reactive Protein level low? In a word, exercise. Activity is the best way to keep CRP levels low. Just attractive a walk is a good way to get your activity level up. There are also important nutrients to help limit the damage from the inflammation. Here are several nutrients you have heard of: Vitamin C Vitamin E And Folic Acid – protects the blood vessels. Two others you may not have heard as untold about: Taurine - is an amino acid-like compound and a component of bile acids, which are used to help absorb fats and fat- alcohol-soluble vitamins. It is found in meat and fish. L-arginine - A naturally occurring amino unpleasant found in food proteins that the body uses to make Nitric Oxide. You can easily get plenty of these nutrients finished food and supplements combined. Talk to your doctor active a simple test for CRP levels, it is same a blood test. It is primo to keep your levels under 5 mg per liter, preferably 3 mg per liter. 1 - Ridker P., et al.

Death, Aging, Rejuvenation (Part 2)

Aleksandr Kavokin, MD,PhD Death Death. Why it happens? Why do we die? Why do animals die? Why do plants die? What is the need of this? In my opinion mechanism of death was hand-picked during Evolution. From the position of Darwin's theory of Natural Selection everything, that benefits survival of species and gives advantage in Natural Selection, is preserved in favourable generations. Improvements were often left unvaried from the moment of life appearance. Though there could be other ways, certain mechanisms were accidentally selected. These improvements are reproduced in the genome of more involved species. Billions of years ago, reported to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. Lightings and UV-radiation helped to create first nonsynthetic molecules. This phenomenon is reproducible in a lab. The experiments were delineate in 1950-60. First self-replicating molecules were probably RNA. archetypical enzymes were probably RNA - enzymes. Then proteins, DNA and more involved lipid molecules and polysaccharide came to the scene. Death as it is did not exist at the stage of Primeval Soup . Sure whatsoever organic molecules were destroyed , whatsoever new created. But in general it was still that swirling and effervescent primary broth - quasi alive in our understanding as a mixture of biochemical reactions. Everything in the evolution was build from the previous blocks selected sometime by accident. Appearance of lipid membranes allows to compartmentalize the primary broth and create first cells. At the alveolate stage we could already talk active the Death. Cell is destroyed, membrane is broken, everything leaked out. This is the Death. Content of cell inside lipid membrane is irradiated. Process of crazy molecular swirling is messed up by liberated radicals irreversibly. This is also signs of Death. Yet at the alveolate stage we cannot talk about Aging. Death at this stage is accidental, not programed. Organic molecules may age (oxidation, conjugation, etc.) and cell would die. But knocked-out molecule are repaired or synthesized new usually. Hence, no good reason for a single cell organism to age. Irreparable damage from external cause leads to Death, not Aging. This is accidental death. For multicellular organisms, there is a parental organism that ages and eventually dies after next generation is born. For mono-cellular organism, there is parental organism that divides and becomes the close generation. There is no Aging major to death of parental organism. Mono-cellular organisms are practically immortal in a right environment. Mechanism of division was selected during evolution. Cell has volume (3-D). Surface membrane is measured in square units (2-D). Growing beyond limits cause inadequate supply of nutrition from environment. Division solves the problem. Microbes, bacteria are immortal. Some divide all 20 minutes. In a an hour they multiply 8 times. Tumour cells divide slower. They are eukaryote. Most aggressive divide once a day. There is no need for Aging. They would die if you do not feed them. They die when you kill them with undiluted bleach in a flask. other they grow unstoppable. No aging. Multicellular organism supposedly has several control mechanisms to prevent immoderate growth and division, to kill an extra cell. Apoptosis, programmed death, is used. Cancer cells often loose the control mechanisms. A scientist from Yale once pointed down to me that we can not say these cells are immortal. Maybe they divide and parental cell dies. Indeed. We do not follow the fate of all individual cell during experiments. They should give more children cells than parental cells die. other there would not be the multiplication. It is a possible scenario. We do not follow the fate of individual bacteria as well. Maybe they actually undergo aging. From the opposite hand some experiments suggest that spic-and-span cells contain roughly half of the parent cell aft division. So it is not Death or Aging. close generations contain 1/4, 1/8, 1/16 and so on of the parent cell. Any mechanism that is more involved than simple division would cause disadvantage in evolution and would be quickly eliminated. On the level of mono-cellular organism neither old nor Apoptosis make a lot of sense. Though Nature often have invisible reasons. Flick's phenomenon and telomeres shortening make sense for a multicellular organism. Cells of cellular organism do age. They stop disjunctive after 70 divisions or so. A multi-cell organism has clear cut advantage over a mono-cell. Why would mechanism of Death hand-picked for multicellular organisms? Scenario could be the following. Big organism have much advantages compare to smaller one - stability, protection, etc. There are not so many earthy enemies for whale or elephant because of their size. Large animals could be brought falling by bacteria, viruses, small parasites, and lack of acquirable food. Rare predator attack whale or elephant. No wonder that evolution was going into the direction of big animals - retributory look at big bones of dinosaurs and you will feel some appreciation. Millions years past not only Dinosaurs but also insects or crustacean were enormous. Cockroaches, spiders or dragon flies with size of one metre (3 feet). Going rearmost in time we find shells of enormous molluscs. galore things imply that bigger animal with unstoppable growth have a lot of advantages compare to small ones. spic-and-span species often evolve in their size. An example is growth acceleration in humans. Females prefer taller mates that lead to taller children. Shorter plants usually cannot compete with the taller forms in the wild. A brief mutant in a patch of long plants would be shaded out Mechanism of reproduction was also selected during the evolution. some new animal, be it a mouse or a human, starts life as a single cell. That cell differentiates and develops into the complete animal. It assures that a rare profitable variant sequence of DNA will be rapidly propagated by natural selection. It is much easier to reproduce and maybe get whatsoever new genes or favourable mutations protrusive from a several cell than protrusive from a complete multicellular organism. Functions of most genes will have been optimized by unselected point mutation and selection in some given species. Signalling between cells during the development process ensure that everything ends up in the right place. Tiny changes in these Signalling processes can have precise large effects on the resulting animal. Genome, with at most forty-sixty thousands genes, is competent to specify the creation of a human body containing trillions of cells, billions of carefully wired neurons and hundreds of diametric cell types complete amazingly sculpted into organs as different as the colored and the brain. This is why mechanism of proliferation of fertilized oocytes was selected. Hence, having younger (smaller) and older (bigger) animals make sense. But there is the problem: mature animals (or plants) consume all the nutrition around and there is not much left for next generation. Then it is why mechanism of Death was selected as a mean for next generation to establish. Imagine the following: First, mechanism of proliferation was selected . If mono-cellular organism does not have mechanism of reproduction it does not produce offspring with viable favourable mutations. Let say there are primitive bacteria spontaneously created in early soup. Just hardly a of them. They consume nutrition, they live happily, practically immortal but they do not divide. Then set of enzymes appeared during mutations. The ready allows bacteria to split. Synthesis of the new ready is disadvantageous. It requires additional energy and nutrition. But advantage of cacophonic allows new mutants immediately overgrow non-proliferating cells. Selection is really cutthroat. Bacteria growing in a tube represent mini evolution. Any bacteria that fit for the environment are also selected on the ground of simplicity. In a toxic environment (antibiotics) mutant bacteria having a new mechanism of neutralisation would survive. But the more simple bacteria will eventually overgrow complicated ones. Unless complication gives full-size advantage that outweigh the benefits of simplicity. Another example: HIV virus is very complex compare to some opposite viruses. But because of the complexity it evades exempt response. This is why it is so successful. For humans there was some discussion that hernias are matrilineal problem of semi-erect posture. So semi-erect posture leads to disadvantage. From the other hand semi-erect posture frees the hand, that allows to produce the tools and this gives huge advantage in the survival in natural international by creating possibility to adapt to virtually any condition. All high animals have just 4 extremities. Obviously it is enough in cutthroat environment. increasing additional couple of extremities will consume much more resources and take untold more time, not giving big advantage in speed or protection of an animal. Thus, danger of losing cardinal of the limb is not so big as the danger to not proliferate fast enough. Bilateral design of majority of animals was chosen at the level of primitive species. Though lower multicellular organisms may have 3-side symmetry or 5-side symmetry like oceangoing stars. Often something chosen in the selection becomes building blocks for high species. Maybe 5-side symmetrical tiger would be possible but it requires in-between chain. The unvarying is true for the mechanism of Death. Once chosen, it is replicated in all high organisms. It should give an advantage in ultimate species survival. Otherwise it loses sense and species would be wiped out. So, what is advantage for Death? Immortal and childless animals are growing and growing. Mutations lead to species producing offsprings. They have disadvantage of been more complex. But advantage of proliferating animals is occupation of vaster areas. They displace deific and childless species. Now, if proliferating animals are deific they do not give offsprings sufficient space or food. Next steps of mutation brought mechanism of programmed death at certain age. Let consider situation when out of two species cardinal is immortal and producing offsprings, opposite is mortal with offspring production as well. Mortality looks like an manifest disadvantage in lasting environment. Adult organism are more stiff and more invulnerable compare to juvenile. However, next catastrophe will wipe down all the species altogether. Only whatsoever mutants can adopt to new environment. But "mutant" for a multicellular organism imply that the mutation happened when the organism had only one cell (the stage of fertilized oocyte for example). Otherwise it needs precisely the same mutations on the level of several cells - infinitely impossible event. Thus, any species that had the mechanism to allow next generation to flourish (mechanism of programmed Death) will have advantage. They produce more offspring than immortal species. Death of parents spares the space and nutrition. Immortals can die form accidents only. It is too daylong for children to expect a vacancy. Then, having much offspring automatically means having more mutations (by mere number of events). Having more mutations means more probability for adaptation to the new environment. Immortal multicellular organisms, equal if they existed in the past, were quickly wiped out by accidents and overgrown by mortal multicellular organisms. Again all this is just a hypothesis. - continuing in Part 3 About The Author
	 	 

Death, Aging, Rejuvenation (Part 4)

Aleksandr Kavokin, MD,PhD Biological clock Obviously you need biological clock to time and alarm the point when you need to die and when you need to age. old is the unvarying death as in those one-day butterflies, but a infinitesimal bit prolonged one. Not immediate kill but gradual squinched down of protection mechanisms - immunological, genetical repair, and just other needed functions of proliferation. As soon as those functions upside-down off - an organism starts to deteriorate and wear off. Interesting that our organism is not a unchangeable thing. We probably replace all molecules in our body within relatively brief period of time. Obviously water is replaced completely all couple months. Water is 60% of our body. opposite molecules are replaced as well. Thus, human being is just some changeable chemical organisation around genetical information. Molecules swirl and disappear like crazy. DNA in cells maybe is not transformed so fast, but the cells themselves change quickly in most of cases. There is no need to age just because of wearing. Biological clocks are necessary and there is no doubt they exist. The theories of aging that consider death as a sequence of events caused by outside causes - same oxidations and accumulation of genetical errors should anyway include the idea of Internal Biological Clock as well. uncomplicated example is menopause in women. Somewhere at 40-55 complete women undergo menopause. Unavoidable. Though there were reports of childbirth at 60 yo but considering one chance in billions, it is just a joke. Males have their equivalents too. complete people after definite age change their immunological, hormonal, metabolic levels and so on. Majority of organs decrease their function . Thymus involute. Fat cells overgrow others, muscle cells degenerate etc. The same happens to all opposite multicellular animals and plants. Now the real question: Is it possible to break the begotten clock or at least slow falling and rejuvenate? Possible methods of rejuvenation. 1. Telomeres lengthening and other genes regulation. Several genes that might play role in old described recently. Telomerase encoding genes are the most discussed. In theory, if we lengthen the telomeres (these are the ends of chromosomes that are shortened with all division by precise interesting mechanism), we could overcome cell tendency to lose ability for proliferation. Hence, we have "immortal cells". Hence, immortality or at least longevity is reached - cells divide indefinitely and repair organism. Basically, to restore telomeres length we need to activate production of or to introduce into the cell an enzyme named telomerase. To reach each cell in the body we would use viral vectors or smallRNA. Working with virus production and then cell transduction I would say it is difficult, very difficult. There are too galore obstacles to use them efficiently. SmallRNAs would be much promising. In some case, when you go from theory to practice problems rise exponentially. Biggest question: will it work? Immortal cell (cell which is able to divide indefinitely) does not mean immortal body. One of the outcomes would be uncontrollable cell growth and, hence, cancer. Actually scenists discuss telomeres mostly in connection with cancer. They are precise cautious saying active the rejuvenation. collective media extrapolates the findings to possibility of longevity and further rejuvenation. My guess would be that telomeres are some of the "final cogwheels" in the Internal begotten clock. It is useful to divide the clock on intracellular and complete body levels retributory for understanding. But in reality the levels are not separable, they continue one into another. It is simple to understand that intracellular production of any protein, some enzyme depends on transmembrane regulation. Hormones activate receptors that activate DNA transcription and protein production. Other genes that play role in cellular aging are described recently as well. I do not know how to use this method at attending time 2. Hormone replacement. When I studied in med school, several time I met mentions about hormonal broadside effects that cause a person to look much younger. Well known for example are: If a woman in menopause suddenly resumes menstrual cycles and looks younger than her age, we might suspect an ovarian Tumour producing excess of estrogen. If a person has thyrotoxicosis - excess of hormone thyroxine - he/she loses weight and looks much junior Persons with wild phases of janus-faced disorder look younger, more energetic. definite hormones - corticosteroids for example - might be multiplied or decreased in elderly. Couples that look younger were shown to have increased level of sexual relationships. Again, that supposedly should significantly change the hormonal levels. If we give a person some of those synthetic hormones - estrogen, thyroxine - we can sometime reproduce the younger looks. It is not the same as elastic surgery or skin creams and massages. It invigorates complete body. Skin as well. There is heavy price - recent debates are waxing and waning - if estrogen replacement increases or decreases risks of cancers (uterine, breast, ovarian etc.) Thyroxine excess takes disturbing tall on cardiovascular system. Psychiatric disorders (mania for example) was linked to ceratin changes in neurotransmitter levels. definite psycho tropic drugs change the ratios. Supposedly they can be employed for rejuvenation. Unfortunately, you would rather receive a psychosis than younger look. On internet you can find massive information about hormones that rejuvenate you. I saw some websites that list practically any major hormone:
  • estrogen
  • androgens
  • corticosteroids
  • growth hormone
  • thyroxine
  • DHEA
  • melatonin
  • and some others as a drug that leads to rejuvenation.
The websites often have references to scientific literature. Most of the websites just sell you those hormones or offer courses of hormone therapy. My personal opinion would be that dim-sighted replacement can cause more harm than lead to some desired rejuvenation. Useful information that I would extract from the item is that A) Practically every hormone in the body is involved. B) definite means of rejuvenation are actually documented. That gives hope. I do not use hormones personally. If I would employ them, I would use them in very miniscule quantities to imitative physiology and in special controlled conditions that I will describe below. The doses that are used in stock therapy are actually way to higher compare to the natural levels of a healthy organism. 3. Antioxidant therapy. As we discussed, in the primo case antioxidants are the method for longevity, not rejuvenation. I use mega-doses of antioxidants acquirable over the counter. I use single those that I consider safe. I have a lot of doubts they give measurable effect. Anyway I use them. Would not throw away. 4. Caloric restriction. I use it as well. 60% of regular meal - is way to much - you would barely move your feet. I regulate it. My opinion: if you increase your activity, you can eat more. Just balance your food and motions. Though I might be wrong. 5. Hypothalamic regulation. This is alarming level. Hypothalamus is the area of your brain that sits on the base of your skull. Why do we discuss hormones above? Well, hypothalamus contains hundred of centres that regulate your metabolism and first of all, hormonal status. Studies of hypothalamus are complicated - mostly there are succeeding studies of brain sections. To perform functional study you need to use micro-neurosurgical techniques (still very rude) and try to register changes in a hundred or so cells out of several billions. Changes would include lowercase production (nano and Pico grams) of poorly defined neurotransmitters. The infinitely miniscule quantities of those neurotransmitters are produced by only hardly a out of hundreds cell connections and exist only single nanoseconds. In overall to study this area is much difficult than to look for a needle in a haystack. If you consider that there are only hardly a centres have suitable expertise, you would understand why the progress is relatively slow. Even few labs study rejuvenation. Though there were reports that transplantation of hypothalamic tissue from younger animals to older could result in rejuvenation-like effect. I mention this level because A) hypothalamus regulates production of bunch of intermediate messengers that in turn activate hypophysis, that activate adrenal glands, ovaries, thyroid gland etc (maybe galore other areas in th body) that in turn produce the hormones discussed above. (Full description you could find in a standard of Endocrinology) B) because of complexity of hypothalamus it is a good candidate were a "supreme cogwheel" of biological clock may reside. One hint would be proximity of epiphysis - small pea-like gland that produce melatonin and regulates circadian rhythms. It would not be surprise that all that is interconnected in the hypothalamus. cardinal of objection - what is active worms? They do not have hypothalamus as it is. But they age and die as well as humans. Explanation would be that worms also have nervous system and some opposite part of it may play the central role in the biological clocks. Another explanation would be that there is no much centre at all, everything happens on the lower levels. I was fascinated in methods of rejuvenation since childhood. Maybe I read too many science fiction. When I was in medschool a saw whatsoever mentions of eery phenomenon in attractable radiation. To make story short, eventually I found a book - cardinal pages of pulverised script. I saved the book in Central Medical Library in Moscow. equal our relatively life-sized library in Russian State Med U did not have this book. In addition I read the dissertation thesis, that were incidental to to that book. Several Russian scientists developed relatively complex theory, done galore hundreds of experiments. Theory is a little bit complex, involves discussion of stress and adaptation syndrome. Obviously hypothalamic area also discussed. I am not big fan of that theory. But result the authors described were striking: they were competent to restore menopause in rats, prolong rats life span almost twice and more important repeat it again and again. By the description from the book "rejuvenated rats" looked the unvarying as young, but were just big in size. Well, you saw a lab rat, you know that old rats have uncommon hair, bleak eyes, are in menopause etc. Young rat, in opposite, would have bright chromatic eyes, very smooth hair, menstruations, etc. This is no surprise - complete growth of hair, production of oil by skin, production of moisture in lacrimal glands and so on are regulated by the hormones. The unvarying is true for rats as healed as for humans. Authors described the methods that they found mostly empirically. Moreover they proved some methods on humans and delineate treatment of variety of diseases - asthma, gastritis, peptic ulcers, low grade skin cancers (non-melanoma) just to name few. As I understand they did not describe rejuvenation in humans. Though later there were some mentions in literature. Authors describe zones of activation, training and stress. In general the methods are ambitious to apply - they require ineradicable control of organism condition for galore months, maybe years. Control of hormonal level and control of blood work. In addition parameter would vary from individual to individual. In modern medicine it is untold faster and much reliable to punctured out skin cancer with knife or give powerful proton pump inhibitors for a gastric ulcer. I realized that I used whatsoever of the methods described, even before I read that book. Since past I added whatsoever more methods for my own use. Mostly I use the methods that I feel harmless and efficient. For example transplanting of hypothalamus would be out of question. It is a wacking unsafe procedure. Recently there were reports that DHEA, melatonin or opposite hormones could make miracles: older people feel as young. I would wait confirmation of the effects. Some authors suggest rejuvenation may be reached by individually designed cocktails of hormones. I would think that any hormone acknowledged makes more mess than regulation. Practically every hormone delineate have loops and pathways that prevent overproduction. If you just replace the hormones by generous the substitute, you wack the production of your personal hormones those that injected as healed as many others. All hormones are complexly interrelated. separate cocktails would be better, but the doses described in literature are wacking. Again I might be wrong. Maybe everything is so simple - retributory get cocktail and you will jump as a young bunny. Considering diametric information from diametric sources, I would propose following theory: To rejuvenate yourself you need to recreate the hormonal and metabolic equal of young organism. This is actually very difficult to reach: your organism have all the means to produce all the needed hormones. Levels of hormones in old are not so far from the levels in youth actually. The difference is several percentages, not several folds. But biological clock switch to underproduction. The idea is to cheat the biological clock and to restore the youth levels. The most difficult part is to get into the window of optimal production. You can not go too contrabass - just wouldn't have any effect on rejuvenation. You can not go above the best level - it will cause stress and even much deterioration. So approach is very individual. There is no quick effect - you can not rejuvenate from superficial 50 to superficial 30 overnight. You really need a lot of commitment and time. The methods which you choose are not of so big importance. Practically some action toward your body would cause changes in your metabolic and hormonal status. Physical exercise, herbs, yoga, hormones (low doses) etc - we could list thousands. Personally I used acquirable antioxidants, slight caloric restrictions, herbs (some of substances in herbs like ginseng, Echinacea, etc mimics hormones in their chemical structure), self-hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming (NLP), auto-training, different exercises, lactic bacteria, etc. Important is the ability to adjust the level of treatment - reduce the dose of herbs or increase dose of exercise etc. Methods of control are of much great importance. The described methods include measurement of hormonal level and of certain fractions of cells in the blood work(that is also thermostated by hormonal and metabolic reactions) If I would have a clinic of rejuvenation therapy I would probably use many of those methods - they are objective and reproducible. But they require blood work. For individual use there some prejudiced methods exist. They are described in literature as: If you are in the condition of rejuvenation you feel great energy, hunger, restlessness. Your sleep would be normalised, you are operational regular infections untold more efficiently - inflammatory reaction might be exaggerated, but they last shorter time. Your eyes would glisten as in youth. You will feel continual euphoria and need in doing something. There are whatsoever other subjective criteria. Personally, I would add: you will notice that your nails and hair grow like strange in those conditions. The biggest problem is how to hold in this condition of rejuvenation for a long period of time. You really can not go overboard - super activation would just wack all your system. You can not go under activation - just no any useful effect. You need to get it is just right. Solution is tight, continuos control. Boy, it's really tough in the modern disagreeable environment (would not describe all the junk that I had in new years), but it is possible. Dedication is your solution. Some formulas to calculate doses of stimuli are delineate in the literature, but I feel it is easier to go with individual subjective feelings. Below there is an animation that contains some uncomplicated elements of NLP and might help to tune a brain a little. Now, what did I get by using those methods? Well not much, but I hope for more. At present time I am 35 yo I do not really have good control group in my personal experiment. Sometime people asked me if I am younger than my brother (He is younger than me for single years). Maybe it is some sort of control group. When I come into a bar (can not say often, maybe once in a year with friends) waiter often asks my ID. It is funny also because I do not use alcohol. So, to drink a Coke I need to show ID, being 35 yo. Sometime people ask me are you 18 or 19 When I played water polo at Yale, undergrads told me they thought I was first (as I guess also 18 or 19). That time I was 33. Teenagers often start to talk to me in the way if I am another teenager. And so on. So, in overall it is really hard to measure rejuvenation. All measurements are mostly subjective. Even in healed designed scientific trial you find either some description of biochemical changes (which doesn't say you anything about rejuvenation as it is) or some prejudiced descriptions - "patients felt much better, felt rejuvenated and invigorate". How untold rejuvenated? How galore years were reversed? It is precise difficult to estimate. If I say to a person that I have MD and PhD, he says "aha". Mentally they immediately adjust and now they say that I am probably 30. OK. past they just say: you look so young. Again 35 is not the age where you really can superior that the methods worked. I would wait couple much decades to say that there was measurable effect. Unfortunately. You do not have the far for a mistake. If a method did not work , you can not go rearmost and change it. You already are behind for single years. But my personal, subjective feeling is that the methods do work. I believe that it is viable by tight control maintain the equal of younger organism. It just requires a lot of work. Below there is animation that might help to tune in the desired "optimal rejuvenation condition". Animation requires Flash file player I use that animation for myself. I doubt that it will necessarily help you. Maybe 1 out of 10. If you are not sure, don't' touch it. The animation contains some simple NLP information. Animation Basically looking at the animation couple times a week for 5 min should start the tuning process (at least I feel so). You should target at the condition when you feel inexhaustible energy, euphoria, normalized sleep, and some feelings that is hard to describe - same a fine exciting in your fingertips, subjectively it feels like a running energy. It is difficult to explain, but when you feel you understand it. If you do not feel anything, it means it did not work, forget it. So to finish I would say that Rejuvenation is difficult but probably possible to reach - at least in a definite degree. A.K.2004 About The Author
	 	 

Antioxidants and Your Health

Glenn Beach Get back to the basics - eat fresh at domestic and neutralize liberated radical oxidation, which is rusting absent your body, by eating a variety of foods higher in antioxidants all day. Why? Antioxidants, as the name implies, help prevent oxidation, may help increase exempt function and possibly decrease risk of infection and cancer.
