Fight Aging! Newsletter, June 24th 2019
This study sought to investigate what could be learned from how these men have fared. The men were born in 1925-1928 and similar health-related data from questionnaires, physical examination, and blood samples are available for all surveys. Survival curves over various variable strata were applied to evaluate the impact of individual risk factors and combinations of risk factors on all-cause deaths. At the end of 2018, 118 (16.0%) of the men had reached 90 years of age.
Smoking in 1974 was the strongest single risk factor associated with survival, with observed percentages of men reaching 90 years being 26.3, 25.7, ...

Should you Graze?

Grazed and confusedGrazing is picking at food little by little so that you're continually eating as opposed to eating only at mealtimes. Have you grazed and been confused for so long it's not true? Alright, I admit it, it may be punny but it's not very funny. The point I'm trying to make is that grazing on food can be confusing and here's why.
50 shades of graze When you graze, there are many questions you can ask yourself. For instance...

What types of impurities are filtered by the different types of filters? Things to be considered before buying a water filter.
FILTERS OF A WATER FILTER
Freshwater is a limited resource, so every kind of water available isn’t fit for drinking. Factors like the growing population and environmental degradation are mainly responsible for this. So we need to know the various purification techniques available in the mar...

Linking the DNA Damage Response and Calcification of Arteries
Researchers here provide evidence for a specific mechanism that can link the oxidative stress of aging with calcification of tissues such as arteries. Calcification reduces elasticity, which in the case of blood vessels contributes to hypertension, but it can also cause serious functional issues in other tissues. Oxidative molecules are generated in increasing numbers in aged tissues, and where their presence outweighs the existing antioxidant defenses over the long term, disruption results. The deeper causes of this oxidative stress include chronic inflammation, such as that produced by senescent cells, and mitochondrial ...

Eight years of Wheat Belly successes
I was looking back over the last 8 years since the first Wheat Belly book was released. It’s been 8 years of astounding, truly breathtaking stories of success over weight issues, health, and physical transformations that skeptics even today claim are impossible. It’s been a virtual avalanche of wonderful stories. Although I’ve seen all of them, often more than once, I could not help but be overcome with satisfaction and pride for the many, many spectacular photos and stories people have shared.
So I thought it would be fun to re-post a small sample of some of these stories dating back from the start of th...

Conscious Conversations
In Conscious Growth Club we’re exploring a new way of providing value for members, which is to have a “conscious conversation” with a very growth-oriented person and invite all members to participate. This is a live video call where I have an interesting conversation with someone, say for about 90 minutes. All members can join the call and participate in a live text chat as we go. So it’s a similar format to how we did the Deep Abundance Integration live calls back in August.It’s not an interview or a presentation. It really is an organic conversation, so it could go any which way depending on...

Amazing Organisms and the Lessons They Can Teach Us
What do you have in common with rodents, birds, and reptiles? A lot more than you might think. These creatures have organs and body systems very similar to our own: a skeleton, digestive tract, brain, nervous system, heart, network of blood vessels, and more. Even so-called “simple” organisms such as insects and worms use essentially the same genetic and molecular pathways we do. Studying these organisms provides a deeper understanding of human biology in health and disease, and makes possible new ways to prevent, diagnose, and treat a wide range of conditions.
Historically, scientists have relied on a few key organ...

Capsule Tech Acquires Bernoulli Health: Analysis
On April 30, 2019, Capsule Tech announced that it is acquiring Bernoulli Health for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition combines two market leaders in the medical IoT, IoMT, biomedical medical device integration (BMDI), medical device data system (MDDS), medical device connectivity, or whatever you call this market.
Medical devices are by far the greatest source of data in health care. For many years the vast majority of medical device data simply scrolled off the screen, never reaching clinicians for analysis and alerting. Capturing this data and using it to better diagnose, treat and monitor patients is finally t...

Creating the Peer Group I ’ ve Always Longed for
For more than a decade, I’ve tried in various ways to create the kind of conscious, growth-oriented community I envisioned being possible – a high-trust group of dozens (perhaps hundreds) of interesting, caring, ambitious, honorable, and creative people who’d love to connect with each other, share their paths of growth together, and basically encourage the heck out of each other every day. The idea is to have one unconditional support group for every type of personal growth challenge.That’s the kind of group in which I feel most like me… a place where I can breathe… a place where everyone un...

Functional Clothing Fibers Protect Wearer from Chemical Agents
Exposure to chemical agents is a possibility not only during warfare, but is a reality for many working in factories and other facilities. Researchers at North Carolina State University and the U.S. Army’s Combat Capabilities Development Command Chemical Biological Center have now developed a new type of coating, designed to be applied to textile fibers, that can grab onto and contain a variety of dangerous chemicals.
The technology works even under high humidity levels, something that has proven to be a challenge for many filtration systems, sensors, and other devices. The new coating works with many industrial and chem...

Why Is the USA Only the 35th Healthiest Country in the World?
By ETIENNE DEFFARGES
According the 2019 Bloomberg Healthiest Country Index, the U.S. ranks 35th out of 169 countries. Even though we are the 11th wealthiest country in the world, we are behind pretty much all developed economies in terms of health. In the Americas, not just Canada (16th) but also Cuba (30th), Chile and Costa Rica (tied for 33rd) rank ahead of us in this Bloomberg study.
To answer this layered question, we need to look at the top ranked countries in the Bloomberg Index: From first to 12th, they are Spain; Italy; Iceland; Japan; Switzerland; Sweden; Australia; Singapore; Norway; Israel; Luxe...

The SMILES Substructure Search Fallacy
ConclusionText matching on SMILES strings seems like a natural, simple solution to the substructure search problem. But this is a mirage. The futility of this approach may only become apparent after weeks or even months of effort. Regardless of the specific implementation, any robust solution must compare molecules as graphs.
