Longevity and Cognitive Decline Several studies have found that selenium blood levels fall as we age and those with the lowest levels experience shorter life spans. One study showed a drop of 7 percent at age 60 and 24 percent by age 75. In one study involving 1,389 patients ages 60 to 71, it was discovered that, when compared to those with the higher selenium levels, those with the lower levels have a highest likelihood of experiencing cognitive and neurological problems.

You can’t expect to have topnotch sexual function if you have poor overall health. Hypertension, cardiovascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, and other disorders involving impaired circulation are commonly linked with sexual dysfunction. That’s because optimal blood flow is required to produce erections in men and clitoral engorgement in women. Other conditions that can affect interest in sex and the ability to act on that interest include anxiety, depression, hormonal imbalances, chronic pain, and neurological problems. Once these health issues are tackled, desire and function often return.

ABC television recently ran a Barbara Walters Special entitled, "Live to be 150 – Can You Do It?" On the program, Barbara Walters interviewed several scientists with various theories regarding how to combat the aging process. One of the scientists, Dr. David Sinclair, made news last year when he reported that resveratrol, given in large doses in animal trials, can counter the effects of chronic health concerns of aging rats, leading to about a 30% prolongation of life and more importantly, an improved quality of life.
Dr. Sinclair felt that these results could potentially be replicated in humans since he indicated that our genes are quite similar to those of rats.

Researchers from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine published their findings online in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The findings promise an effective, nontoxic approach to treating leukemia.

In a recent edition of the journal Current Opinions of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery, researchers from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit reported that there was compelling evidence suggesting that antioxidant supplementation is beneficial for improving, and even reversing, the effects of several types of acquired hearing loss. They hypothecated that at a cellular and sub-cellular level, hearing impairment seems, in many cases, to be precipitated by oxidative stress and damage.

All of the U.S. politicians are talking about the high cost of health care. Unfortunately they are not really concerned but simply looking for votes. Here's how the cost can be reduced easily by over 25 BILLION a year for the aging baby boomer and others in their 60's and beyond. If everyone age 65 and older took calcium and vitamin D supplements, approximately 776,000 hospitalizations for hip fractures could be avoided. Estimated savings: $16.1 billion. If people in that same age group took 1,800 mg of fish oil daily, we’d be able to cut back on 374,301 hospitalizations for coronary artery disease. Estimated savings of hospitalization plus physicians fees: $3.2 billion.

About 60% of men have significant balding by age 50. (About 2% of women also suffer major hair loss.) Medications work, but only so well. Transplants offer better results. Doctors take small tufts of hair from the back of the head and move them to the front or top of the scalp. New techniques make the plugs less painfully obvious. The cost is $3,000 per procedure. Typically, three to five are needed. And there is a downside in that the restored hair still looks thin.

It's not altogether certain why we get more colds in winter compared to summer, although it may, indeed, be related to exposure to the sun and production of vitamin D. Regardless of the exact reason, there was an article just published in the July 2007 edition of The Lancet Infectious Diseases magazine. A group of pharmacists from University of Connecticut did a meta-analysis to evaluate effects of echinacea on incidence and duration of the common cold. The researchers pooled a total of 14 different studies. It was determined that people who took echinacea had a 58% reduced risk of getting upper respiratory tract infections compared to those not taking this herbal supplement. It was also found that when echinacea was taken with vitamin C, there was an incredible reduction in number of colds by 86%. On average, echinacea reduced duration of a cold by 1.4 days.

Most of us, including the health care professionals who advise us, believe food is the best source of nutrients, but the truth is that none of us eat an optimal diet all the time. Worse yet, our soils have become so depleted that plants cannot extract all the vital minerals as they once did. Numerous studies prove that diet alone cannot give you the blood levels of many essential nutrients you need to prevent disease, much less to cure it.
