Death Rate from Prostate Cancer Much Higher in Overweight Men

A new study confirms that men who are overweight or obese are twice as likely to die from prostate cancer. I reported back in 2002 in my book, Mastering Leptin, that leptin problems (overweight issues) are a main risk for developing prostate or breast cancer. The science was known back then. Obesity generates highly inflammatory signals that directly induce the cancer risk problem.

Vitamin B12 is Vital for Elderly Well Being

Aging is marked by a progressive loss of physical function. A new study of community dwelling women between the ages of 70-79 shows that those lacking vitamin B12 had more than double the risk of being frail.

Is Long Life in Your Bones?

Most people think of bone issues in terms of osteoporosis or concerns about breaking them, which are important issues as something like a hip fracture can lead to an increased rate of mortality. However, bones are now recognized as a metabolic powerhouse intimately involved with cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, immunity, inflammation, and metabolism. This started becoming obvious a few years back when “all cause mortality” was linked to bone health.

Blueberries for Your Memory and Bones

Blueberries continue to rack up their impressive credentials as the top superfood fruit in the world. Now is the season – eat all the fresh organic blueberries you can lay your hands on. News studies show that blueberries can rejuvenate your memory cells and protect your bones from bone loss.

Running Over Age 50 Cuts Death Rate in Half

A 20-year study has shown that running has profound health benefits, cutting the rate of early death by more than half. Researchers found that running slowed cardiovascular disease, cancer deaths, cognitive decline, and poor immunity. The runners experienced no more wear and tear to their joints than non-runners.

Is Resveratrol the Fountain of Youth?

There are a lot of great anti-aging and metabolism boosting nutrients: DHA, pantethine, acetyl-l-carnitine, carnosine, R-alpha lipoic acid, grape seed extracts – the list goes on and on. In fact, most nutrients help cells function better and thus live longer. So, why is resveratrol vying for the position as King of the anti-aging nutrients – with a potent fat-burning twist thrown in for good measure?

Another Resveratrol Anti-Aging Breakthrough

A new mechanism has been identified that explains one novel way that resveratrol not only helps prevent aging but may help reverse it. It involves a unique way in which the resveratrol-activated SIRT1 guards your DNA. In the new study the researchers state: “We see here, through a proof-of-principal demonstration, that elements of aging can be reversed.”

Breakthrough on Circadian Rhythms, Aging, & Metabolism

Our human systems are timed to a 24 hour clock. New research has shown that this clock regulates your energy levels and thus your metabolism. The researchers found that various proteins that regulate your clock and metabolism are linked and dependent on each other. This is a profound discovery.

Multivitamins Extend Telomere Length – and Therefore Lifespan Potential

A new study of 586 women has shown for the first time that regular multivitamin intake extends telomere length by 5.1%. This is a significant anti-aging finding.
