Anti-Aging Research--Part 1

The anti-aging cavalry is on the way.
Take care of yourself now so you can
benefit from coming scientific advances.

WHY

Satchel Paige said, "If I had known I would live so long
I would have taken better care of myself." I don't want
you someday saying, "If I had known how much help science
would offer, I would have taken better care of myself."
Wellness (prevention) and healthcare (treatment) advances
are coming at an exponential pace. The healthier you keep
your body now, the more you can benefit from the advances.

In June, 2006 University of Wisconsin researchers reported on how
sirtuins, a family of enzymes, orchestrate many enzymes involved
in metabolic processes and can play a major role is slowing the
anti-aging process. The report in the June Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences discussed how sirtuins may also
help treat metabolic disorders such as diabetes and neurological disorders
such as Alzheimer's disease. Elevated levels of sirtuins slow degeneration
in damaged nerve cells and impact aspects of metabolism responsible
for insulin secretion. One substance that activates sirtuins is reservatrol,
the anti-oxidant found in red grapes and red wine.

Rare diseases often muster little interest from pharmaceutical companies
as there is not much profit in them. With effects on aging, diabetes, Alzheimer’s,
and many other diseases, the pharmaceutical companies are very interested in sirtuins.

Research on sirtuins is just one of many exciting research developments.            

QUOTES

If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?
~Albert Einstein

HUMOR

Enough research will tend to support your theory.
~Murphy's Law of Research

Anyone who makes a significant contribution to any field of endeavor,
and stays in that field long enough, becomes an obstruction to its progress–
in direct proportion to the importance of their original contribution.
