The 'Benjamin Button' effect: Scientists can reverse aging in mice. The goal is to do the same for humans

In molecular biologist David Sinclair's lab at Harvard Medical School, old mice are

growing young again.

Using proteins that can turn an adult cell into a stem cell, Sinclair and his team have

reset aging cells in mice to earlier versions of themselves. In his team's first breakthrough, published in late 2020old mice with poor eyesight and damaged retinas could suddenly see again, with vision

that at times rivaled their offspring's.

"It's a permanent reset, as far as we can tell, and we think it may be a universal process

that could be applied across the body to reset our age," said Sinclair, who has spent the last

20 years studying ways to reverse the ravages of time.

"If we reverse aging, these diseases should not happen. We have the technology today to

be able to go into your hundreds without worrying about getting cancer in your 70s, heart

disease in your 80s, and Alzheimer's in your 90s." Sinclair told an audience at Life Itself,

a health and wellness event presented in partnership with CNN.

"This is the world that is coming. It's literally a question of when and for most of us, it's

going to happen in our lifetimes," Sinclair told the audience. Read More…

Allan’s Comments: As I get older the whole science of longevity intrigues me even more.

Advances in this field are coming rapidly which is awesome as I am only 65.  

That being said, I don’t want to live a long life if I am not a functioning human being. I don’t

want to be in a bed waiting for someone to change my diapers.  

This article and many other things going on in this field give me hope that with a longer life

what could happen as well is better-working organs, and joints.

 

Beetroot juice may aid people with coronary heart disease – study

 

Research suggests a daily glass reduces harmful inflammation by boosting nitric oxide levels

 A daily glass of beetroot juice could reduce harmful inflammation in people with coronary heart disease, according to new research.

Coronary heart disease is the most common type of heart disease, the most common cause of heart attacks, and the single biggest killer of both men and women worldwide.

People with the condition have lower levels of nitric oxide, which is produced naturally by the body and is vital for good health. In addition to its role in regulating blood pressure, it has important anti-inflammatory effects.

“Inflammation is vital to protect the body from injury and infection,” said Dr Asad Shabbir, a clinical research fellow at Queen Mary University of London, which led the research. “However, in people with coronary heart disease, persistent inflammation can exacerbate the furring of the arteries, making their condition worse and increasing their risk of a heart attack.

Allan’s Comments: I eat at least 2 Beetroots per day. Admittedly boiling Beetroots can be a long process and getting them to the right texture can be a challenge as well.  I’ve tried juicing raw beetroots but I don’t like it.  So here’s what I do.

Costco has frozen, cooked Beets that have enough in a pack to last me about 2 weeks.  They’re perfectly cooked, delicious, and cost only $8.99
