“These were THE BEST fat bombs I’ve ever made: Strawberry Cheesecake!
“One of the hardest parts in the beginning of this WOE (way of eating) is consuming enough fat. After years of being taught ‘fat is bad’ it can be difficult to UN-learn that.

A father-physician tests if a little peanut a day keeps allergy away

Avoiding nuts and seeds for better gut health? You shouldn ’t
Nuts and seeds are important components of a healthy diet. But if you have diverticula — little pouchlike structures that sometimes form in the muscular wall of the colon and bulge outward — you may worry about nuts or seeds getting stuck in those little pockets, which can cause a painful infection called diverticulitis.
Take heart. While it was once believed that nut and seed consumption could lead to diverticulitis, the link is unproven.
In fact, quite the opposite is true. Nuts and seeds are rich in fiber, which is important for gut health and keeping you regular.
How much fiber do you need daily? If you’re over 5...

Diabetic spouse residual trauma
I was coming out of a friends apartment the other day and the gal across the hall happens to be one of my best friends. I'll call her Jane. Tilde, another gal, was visiting her and Jane was rushing out of her place to run up the stairs to Tilde's place to grab her insulin tester. Jane yelled at me, "can you watch her til I get back?"Let me back up a moment. Jane's husband died of diabetic complications 2 years before mine did. We are probably the 2 most knowledgeable gals in the building when it comes to dealing with a diabetic.Of course I went in to her apartment and started talking softly to...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, August 12th 2019
We examined 9293 individuals from the Copenhagen General Population Study using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements of total cholesterol, free- and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids, and particle concentration. Fourteen subclasses of decreasing size and their lipid constituents were analysed: six subclasses were very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), one intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), three low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and four subclasses were high-density lipoprotein (HDL). Remnant lipoproteins were VLDL and IDL combined.
Mean nonfasting cholesterol concentration was 72...

An Interview with Reason at Undoing Aging 2019
Much of the proceedings at Undoing Aging in Berlin earlier this year were recorded, but of course it takes a few months for everything to process through the queue. I briefly escaped from the conference for an ad hoc, unstructured discussion with Adam Ford of Science, Technology, and the Future, who, like the Life Extension Advocacy Foundation folk, was interviewing as many people as he could during the event. It wound up a monologue on topics that were at the top of my mind at the time, particularly the present state of funding and the transformation of our community from a primary focus on advocacy and academic research ...

The DASH diet: A great way to eat foods that are healthy AND delicious
The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is an eating plan based on eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and choosing lean proteins, low-fat dairy, beans, nuts, and vegetable oils, while limiting sweets and foods high in saturated fats.
A recent study published the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that men and women younger than 75 who most closely followed the DASH diet had a significantly lower risk of heart failure compared to study participants who did not follow the DASH diet. Currently, about 5.7 million adults in the United States have heart failure, and about half of those who d...

Breakfast cereal: a memoir
As awful for health as they are, having played such a huge role in childhood breakfasts, thoughts of breakfast cereals still conjure up a host of memories.
Deep within the haze of my childhood memories, buried beneath recollections of nerdy high school days, a marriage gone sour, and a brother-in-law midlife crisis involving duct tape, three members of the local PTA, and a VW bus, are images of the mornings I sat with my two sisters at our kitchen table in suburban New Jersey, each of us slurping a bowl of Trix, Lucky Charms, or Fruit Loops cereal, still recovering from a late night of Bewitched and Mission Impossible.

The Girl Who Worked for Peanuts
There once lived a woman who had made some poor choices in her life, one of which resulted in her now 17-year-old daughter. Another poor choice was the woman ’s new live-in boyfriend. All you need to know about him at this point is that, whenever he was home, the 17-year-old girl had to keep her bedroom door locked and braced.Unfortunately, the girl ’s mother made one final poor choice just as our story opens. In an effort to peg the needle on the pleasure gauge, she accidentally mixed too much of too many things, with the result that she ripped her soul right out of her body.Within a few minutes after the end of the f...

Healthy eating for older adults
Eating right can help keep your body and mind healthy and extend your quality of life. But some older Americans may face barriers to getting enough nutrients or calories.
Many ways aging can affect appetite
Physiological changes that come with aging can result in reduced calorie needs, which can lead to decreased food intake and altered body composition, even in healthy older adults. This can be compounded by diminished smell and taste, and changes in hormone levels that affect how quickly you feel full. Depression, lack of independence, and social isolation can make food less appealing, further contributing to a less than...
