Phytonutrients: Paint your plate with the colors of the rainbow
Did you know that adding color to your meals will help you live a longer, healthier life? Colorful fruits and vegetables can paint a beautiful picture of health because they contain phytonutrients, compounds that give plants their rich colors as well as their distinctive tastes and aromas. Phytonutrients also strengthen a plant’s immune system. They protect the plant from threats in their natural environment such as disease and excessive sun.
When humans eat plant foods, phytonutrients protect us from chronic diseases. Phytonutrients have potent anti-cancer and anti-heart disease effects. And epidemiological research sug...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, April 15th 2019
In this study, we found that senescent chondrocytes isolated from OA patients secrete more EVs compared with nonsenescent chondrocytes. These EVs inhibit cartilage ECM deposition by healthy chondrocytes and can induce a senescent state in nearby cells. We profiled the miR and protein content of EVs isolated from the synovial fluid of OA joints from mice with SnCs. After treatment with a molecule to remove SnCs, termed a senolytic, the composition of EV-associated miR and protein was markedly altered. The senolytic reduced OA development and enhanced chondrogenesis, and these were attributable to several specific differenti...

The Interventions Testing Program Finds Glycine Supplementation has a Tiny Effect on Mouse Life Span
The NIA Interventions Testing Program (ITP) is a very conservative organization. The organizers take compounds that cannot possibly do more than slightly slow aging, largely those that upregulate stress response mechanisms in a similar way to calorie restriction, and rigorously test them in large mouse studies. The results are of the best quality, and tend to demonstrate that most earlier, less rigorous studies overestimated the effects of compounds on life span. This is an expensive business, but I would say one of dubious practical value.
The practice of calorie restriction shows us the likely bounds of the possib...

5 Ways To Increase Your Intelligence Every Day
In conclusion, when you ingest the proper foods, vitamins and nootropic nutrients which facilitate neurogenesis in the brain, aid in the stabilizing of neurological structures, and increase the brain’s capacity for memory retention, you allow the brain to grow physically. If you then incorporate the use of techniques which allow the brain’s memory retention and neuro-connectivity to increase, and facilitate the growth of both hemispheres of the brain, you will inevitably increase your intelligence dramatically! For as your brain tissue grows and the neuro-connectivity increases, the information storage and cognitive ca...

The Yo-Yo Dieter ’ s Dilemma
People lose oodles of weight on the Wheat Belly lifestyle. Weight loss results rapidly on this lifestyle because we 1) remove gliadin-derived opioid peptides that previously stimulated appetite, 2) remove amylopectin A that previously raised blood sugar and thereby insulin to high levels, 3) remove other factors that add to inflammation such as wheat germ agglutinin. We have thousands and thousand of people who have lost 30, 50, 100, 130 pounds on the basic program.
But not everyone does. Some people fail to lose weight because they have hypothyroidism, fail to restore iodine, take prescription drugs that block weight loss...

Turn the midday slump into a time of power and productivity

But whatever the reason, there is a dead zone for many of us in the midday that is just begging for an energy makeover. Here five ways to turn the middle of the day into a power zone.

Concern over too much EGCG
I just finished reading a BBC article about a man in Texas who had been taking an EGCG (extracted from green tea) supplement for 2-3 months when he found out that his liver was in very bad shape, to the point that he had to have an urgent liver transplant. His doctors ruled out everything else and concluded that this serious injury may have been caused by the EGCG supplement.
Even though I personally don’t take EGCG, I was horrified, at first. Then I read the article, which states that drinking green tea, as I do on occasion, is perfectly safe. What you have to be careful about is its extract, known as EGCG, which ap...

Why Is Getting Your Unfermented Chai Leaves Online A Better Choice?
Purchasing unfermented chai leaves can be done in two methods just like most of the other products in the market. The first method happens to be going to the store which sells unfermented chai leaves in your neighbourhood or city and purchasing them in person. The second method happens to be purchasing your unfermented chai leaves from an online seller or a web store. From what we can see, most of the people who want to buy matcha green tea seem to be choosing the second method. That is simply because that option of purchasing the unfermented chai leaves one needs is a better choice than the first method.
