“The whole agenda is to repair the damage that aging does to our bodies,” Schloendorn said. “The particular part is molecular junk accumulating in the body. That “molecular junk “needs to be removed from the body without destroying cells or the body. Some age-related problems that the research targets include Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration…

Cleaner air over the past two decades has added nearly five months to average life expectancy in the U.S., according to a study.

Dr. Gilbert Bernier, of the Université de Montréal and Maisonneuve-Rosemont Hospital, led a team that identified a mutation in mice that dramatically accelerates the process of aging in the brain and the eye. The new study reveals that neurons in the retina and cerebral cortex require a gene called Bmi1 to prevent activation of the…

Nanotechnology and Radically Extended Life Span

Gonthar S. Rooda, D.C., the founder and director of Princeton Life Extension Institute, and Danute Audena-Corcoran, a nutritionist, will host Ageless Living Workshops at the Center for Relaxation and Healing.

“The drug affects a gene which when inhibited can slow down aging,” he said. “The implication is that we can change the rate of aging. This might be why clioquinol is able to work on this diversity of diseases that are all age-dependent.”

CNN.com is reporting that Dr. Sanjay Gupta has been approached by the new Obama administration to become the next US Surgeon General.

Resveratrol has been in the news because scientists have been investigating it’s ability to help control a number of conditions such as diabetes, blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc., and are further investigating it‘s possible role in extending life span.

Admittedly, I am brand new to this conversation. I’ve started my research here –http://www.calorierestriction.org/ I’d like to open this topic up for discussion and hope that some of you who have experience with the diet… …good AND/OR bad… Then please let me know.  Thanks!

Harvard researchers find longevity, restricted diet link Enzymes rev up cellular power pack By Alvin Powell Harvard News Office Researchers believe they’ve found the cellular link between extremely restricted diets and dramatically lengthened lifespan and hope to use the knowledge to develop new treatments for age-related diseases. Scientists have known for about 70 years that…
