A study examining aging in mice has found that the hormonal changes that occur when mice eat significantly less may explain why a low calorie diet can extend their lifespan, far more so than can be explained by reduced obesity.
Because of this, reduced calorie diets extended the rodents’ lives far longer than an exercise program could.
The study applies only to rodents, which are different in so

Even worse, some antioxidants may increase risk of death The vitamin industry has spent millions promoting antioxidants as a way to improve health but a new review of studies found no evidence that the nutrition supplements extend life. Worse, the review authors said that some antioxidants could increase risk for death.The reviewers call for more regulation of the nutraceuticals industry, but an antioxidant researcher with the U.S. Department of Agriculture said that call for stricter monitoring overreaches the conclusions of the review.The researchers looked at 67 randomized studies and found that supplemental antioxidants do not reduce mortality and that some — including vitamin A, beta-carotene and vitamin E — could increase mortality. The review combined evidence from more than 200

I clicked online today and read the most interesting article about being happy. It said, "Being optimistic in middle age increases life span by at least 7.5 years-even after accounting for age, gender, socioeconomic status, and physical health, according to a large Yale University survey."So, what are the things that bring this optimism. This article discussed the four Habits of Happy People. You can go and see the entire story from the experts. Let me share with you my impressions.Habit 1: Don't Stop Talking EverOK, that is an exaggeration, but the point it to be engaged in conversation. A professor of medicine and epidemiology at UCLA, Teresa Seeman, PhD, says that, "Just talking on the phone to a friend has the immediate effect of lowering your blood pressure and cortisol levels..." and "Our research shows that having good long-term relationships provides as many physical benefits as being active or a nonsmoker." According to the article, people who are social at least once a week
By Dr. Melanie Beingessner, Chiropractor"The next century will be dominated by the concerns of the elderly" affirms Ken Minaker, MD., Chief of Geriatric Medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital and associate professor at Harvard Medical School. By the year 2050, our average life expectancy is projected to be 82.6 years (up from today's average life expectancy of 72.1 years for men and 78.8 years for women.) The census bureau predicts that 3 million baby boomers will live to be 100 years old or more!Statistically speaking, we are going to live longer than our grandparents did, but the key factor in is that those who are in good health will be able to enjoy those extra years.

A fruit that is more commonly used as a vegetable, botanically classified in the poisonous fruit family (nightshade plants), packed with lots of nutrients, and that which brings the beautiful red colour to many of our recipes, please welcome the most popular fruit in the world- The Tomato!! First cultivated in 700 AD, explorers returning from Mexico introduced the tomato into Europe in 1556. The French called it "the apple of love," the Germans "the apple of paradise", due to the misconception that it acts as an aphrodisiac (you are free to try it out though and prove it wrong!:)) A single average tomato has only 35 calories, and it's better to eat it cooked than raw. Let's explore more health benefits that this red tiny-tot holds within itself.Lycopene - A phytochemical (carotenoid) that is responsible for the red color of tomatoes and other fruits and vegetables is a powerful antioxidant and may help reduce the risk of some cancers and cardiovascular disease. Unlike other carotenoi

The single life has its charms and freedoms, but adults who never marry may not live as long as their wedded peers, new research suggests.While the protective effect of marriage on health and longevity has been pointed out before, newer research is zeroing in on the never-married folks. Staying single all your life may not be good for your health or your lifespan, University of California, Los Angeles researchers have found.AdvertisementThe team looked at the 1997 US National Death Index and the 1989 National Health Interview Survey. In 1989, almost half of the people surveyed were married; about 10 percent were widowed; 12 percent divorced; 3 percent separated; 5 percent living with someone; and 20 percent had never married.Significantly higher risk of dyingCompared with married people, those who had never been married were 58 percent more likely to have died at the end of the study's eight-year follow up period.By comparison, those who were widowed were nearly 40 percent more likel

Researchers in France believe that Armagnac may help ward of heart disease, reduce obesity and help people lead longer lives.Armagnac is a brandy that comes from the Gascony region of France. Researchers at the University of Bordeaux are studying why residents of Gascony live an average of five years longer than people in the rest of France. One answer might be a daily slug of Armagnac.The scientists are looking at how Armagnac is distilled and the oak barrels where it is aged. The study found a low incidence of heart disease in the Gascony region, even though residents consume a diet similar to the rest of France and are heavy smokers. The researchers study Armagnac on platelets in test tubes and found the drink has a similar positive benefit to the anti-thrombosis drug Plavix. In tests with humans, the brandy was compared to vodka and had a more positive result. The researchers also noted the Armagnac was better than daily doses of aspirin because it did not interfere with blood clo
