Another reason is associated with carnitine in meat. In this perspective, a research team at the Cleveland Clinic found  that within 24 hours of carnitine consumption (eating a sirloin steak), certain gut bacteria metabolize the carnitine

New discoveries on  resveratrol analogs rejuvenating aging human cells,  lengthening their telomeres and making them look and behave younger. In this blog-article, I will first examine these new findings (Section A) and thereafter, weight its significance in terms of optimizing longevity. (Section B) Section A A team led by Professor Lorna Harries at the University of Exeter has discovered a

In this article-blog, i will review the litterature on MTOR (Section A) and then analyses MTOR pathway in relation to the aging process (Section B) and cancer (Section C) Text under construction Section A Over the last decade, more than 5,000 papers have been published about TOR, an enzyme inhibited by the drug rapamycin—a drug used experimentally to extend lifespan,

TEXT UNDER CONSTRUCTION It’s right there, the first of the Four Noble Truths of the Buddha: “Existence is suffering.” If that’s not your bag, you can turn to the wisdom of Ecclesiastes, the preacher who said, “I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” In the Gospel

In this blog-article, i will review one of red wine's key health promoting molecules, proanthocyanidins, also known as pygnogenol. As long as wine is made traditionally with its skin and especially grape seeds in the fermentation bin, these antioxidant molecules will bestow upon red wine lots of health benefits. (Section A).  Thereafter, I will analyse its therapeutic relevance and clinical dosing.

(Section B) Aging Research in History Although not many people will admit it, the fear of aging and death is extremely common (1). Throughout history, our fascination with mortality has contributed

According to the Hayflick limit, most of our cells divide from 50 to 70 times. With each division, the telomeres shorten.  70 population doublings equates to approximately 120 years of life.  Progenitor cells (also called stem cells) and differentiated cells are thus limited to Hayflick's limit of 70 population doublings.  Although adult-derived stem cells, (i.e., totipotent stem cells, pluripotent stem
