Is Aging Becoming an Option? A Galaxy Classic

 

"It's a repair and maintenance approach to extending the functional life span of a human body. It's just like maintaining the functional life span of a classic car, or a house. We know -- because people do it -- that there is no limit to how long you can do that. Once you have a sufficiently comprehensive panel of interventions to get rid of damage and maintain these things, then, they can last indefinitely. The only reason we don't see that in the human body now is that the panel of interventions we have available to us today is not sufficiently comprehensive."

Lifestyle or Genes? Health Secrets of a 114-Year Old Man -A Galaxy Classic

Research on the bone health of one of the oldest persons in the world raises the question of which has the most effect on the human lifespan: genetics or a healthy lifestyle, or some combination of the two?

Research reveals that there were no genetic modifications which could have contributed to the longevity of a 114-year old Spaniard. The research team, directed by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona professor Adolfo Díez Pérez, pointed out a healthy lifestyle, a Mediterranean diet, a temperate climate and daily cycling until the age of 102 as the reasons for his excellent health.

"Just Do It!" New Metrics Programs to Track Your Summer Workouts

Machines have now demonstrated their ability to utterly dominate our illogical human behavior, and luckily for fans of flesh it wasn't via terrible Terminators or scheming Cylons.  Instead, simple machines and numbers have a hold over humanity where their aim ISN'T extermination- it's "Get some exercise and live longer!"

New services like the Nike+ accelerometer and Wii Fit have demonstrated incredible effects on enjoyers by bridging a tiny disconnect in the human brain.  You can understand on every level, from your guilt-stricken brain to your cholesterol-clogged coronary arteries, that exercise is good for you and still do nothing - but once there's an impartial number blinking on the screen, many will do anything to nudge that number higher (doing little things like "getting fit" and "becoming healthier" as side effects.)

FDA Gives Swine Flu Pandemic The Bird

Despite the fact that the swine flue has reached global pandemic levels, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today announced that it has approved a vaccine for the 2009-2010 flu season that will not protect against H1N1 swine flu - the pandemic strain now most prevalent around the world. In the past week in Great Britain alone, there have been 55,000 new cases of swine flu.

According to its press release, "The FDA continues to work with manufacturers, international partners and other government agencies to facilitate the availability of a safe and effective vaccine against the 2009 H1N1 influenza virus."

"Don't Bogart That Joint, My Friend": Cannabis Found to Damage DNA

Oh, to have lived in the 60's! Well, damn, looks like Country Joe and the Fish had it easy. Today, it's just toss it, according to a new study by that shows that Cannabis alters human DNA in ways that could potentially increase the risk of cancer development.

Research Reveals How to Add 14 Years to Your Life -A Galaxy Classic

The proverbial “fountain of youth”, may not exist, but lifestyle changes can do the same thing a study by Cambridge University shows. Some would give millions, or whatever they had, to buy an extra 14 years of life, but according to the latest research, it’s just four relatively simple behavior adjustments that combined could add well over a decade to your life expectancy.
