5 Things Parents Should Look for in Their Children ’ s Medical Records
Here are five things I think parents should look for in their children’s medical records and have at their fingertips: BMI Percent – Parents are often stunningly wrong about whether or not their children are at a healthy weight. We are so familiar with our kids that they often look normal to us even when they are not. And more than 75% of parents of overweight children aged 2 to 15 report never being told the child is overweight by the pediatrician.The Body Mass Index is a calculation that looks at appropriate weight for height for a given age and gender. If children’s BMI is below the 5th percentile, they are likel...

“ Eat less and move more ” is not the solution: What I wish my thin colleagues understood about obesity
I have been overweight or obese since I hit puberty. I have gained and lost the same 60 pounds half a dozen times in my adult life. I’ve never been one to try a fad diet – I research the data and follow a scientifically sound plan. I understand that the only way to lose Read more… “Eat less and move more” is not the solution: What I wish my thin colleagues understood about obesity originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

World obesity atlas 2023
World Obesity Federation -This global study predicts that more than half the global population will be living with overweight and obesity within 12 years if prevention, treatment and support do not improve. It estimates that the economic impact of this could reach $4.32 trillion annually by 2035. At almost three per cent of global GDP, the report calculates this to be comparable with the impact of Covid-19 in 2020.ReportWorld Obesity Federation - news (Source: Health Management Specialist Library)

The importance of childhood obesity prevention: a doctor ’ s perspective
I’m starting to see this trend of podcasts and articles that seem to be raising the white flag against childhood obesity. We should all agree with physicians that these conversations should be approached carefully and thoughtfully. We should agree that there are clear reasons to promote regular exercise and a healthy diet. We should agree Read more… The importance of childhood obesity prevention: a doctor’s perspective originally appeared in KevinMD.com. (Source: Kevin, M.D. - Medical Weblog)

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 27th 2023
This study tested the hypothesis that ischemic vascular repair in aging by Ang-(1-7) involves attenuation of myelopoietic potential in the bone marrow and decreased mobilization of inflammatory cells. Young or Old male mice of age 3-4 and 22-24 months, respectively, received Ang-(1-7) for four weeks. Myelopoiesis was evaluated in the bone marrow (BM) cells by carrying out the colony forming unit (CFU-GM) assay followed by flow cytometry of monocyte-macrophages. Expression of pro-myelopoietic factors and alarmins in the hematopoietic progenitor-enriched BM cells was evaluated. Hindlimb ischemia (HLI) was induced by ...

A Discussion of Mitochondrially Derived Peptide MOTS-c
A number of mitochondrially derived peptides are thought to have positive effects on cell function, though as for most of the approaches of this nature, it is unclear that it is any better than a structured exercise program. One of the better studied of these peptides is MOTS-c, which is itself upregulated by exercise - arguably one of a number of known exercise mimetics. Delivering signal molecules that are normally upregulated by exercise should in principle recapture some of the beneficial effects of exercise, but so far this line of development has yet to much improve on exercise itself. Mitochondria are organ...

The middle road to childhood obesity treatment: Empowering kids with healthy habits

Fight Aging! Newsletter, February 20th 2023
In this study, researchers stimulate the ghrelin receptor using a suitable small molecule for much of the lifespan of mice, and observe the results. The overall extension of life span is a quarter of that produced by calorie restriction, and so we might draw some conclusions from that as to the relative importance of hunger in the benefits resulting from the practice of calorie restriction or fasting. Interestingly, the short term weight gains observed in mice given this ghrelin receptor agonist in the past don't appear in this long term study, in which the controls are the heaver animals. This is possibly because the rese...

Epigenetic Clock Data from the CALERIE Trial of Calorie Restriction
The practice of calorie restriction extends life notably in short-lived mammals, but not in long-lived mammals, despite the short-term benefits to health appearing quite similar in mice and humans. This may be because many of the beneficial shifts in metabolism triggered by a low calorie intake are already built in to long-lived species, as a part of the history of evolutionary change that led to those species becoming long-lived. Since calorie restriction alters near every aspect of cellular biochemistry, coming up with a comprehensive understanding of the important mechanisms has been a slow process, never mind how those...
