Shaklee Vivix Product Review

Posted on December 6, 2011 by 6s79T

Shaklee Vivix Product Review

In 2008 Shaklee Corporation introduced a unique product to the marketplace, Vivix. Shaklee spent years researching and formulating Vivix to its present form. The primary ingredient in Vivix is something called resveratrol, a natural substance found in red wine. Studies done on mice has shown that resveratrol offsets a high-calorie diet and can potentially extend their lives.

While resveratrol has several health benefits, you would have to drink A LOT of red wine to truly reap the benefits. That’s where Shaklee and Vivix come in. After conducting the largest research project in its 52 year history, Shaklee created the anti-aging tonic Vivix by combining the equivalent of 3,000 glasses of red wine’s resveratrol with a patent-pending plant extract.

Concentrations in the field of anti-aging regenerative medicine

Posted on December 6, 2011 by 6s79T

Regenerative Medicine is the process of creating living, functional tissues to repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to age, disease, damage, or congenital defects. This field holds the promise of regenerating damaged tissues and organs in the body by stimulating previously irreparable organs to heal themselves. Regenerative medicine also empowers scientists to grow tissues and organs in the laboratory and safely implant them when the body cannot heal itself. Importantly, regenerative medicine has the potential to solve the problem of the shortage of organs available for donation compared to the number of patients that require life-saving organ transplantation, as well as solve the problem of organ transplant rejection, since the organ’s cells will match that of the patient.

Top 6 Lifestyle Choices that Promote Health, Longevity and Prevent Death

Health-promoting lifestyle choices can reduce the risk of developing chronic disease and the causes of premature death. What you choose to eat, drink or otherwise ingest, how much you sleep and how active you choose to be can significantly impact both your health and longevity.

Six lifestyle behaviors have the greatest influence on your health and physiological age. They can be added as part of your daily lifestyle choices to improve your life span and potentially add years to your life.

1. Getting regular and adequate amounts of sleep.

Getting a regular amount of sleep is important to give your body a chance to restore and regenerate not only the proverbial “batteries” but to attend to all of the metabolic functions required by the body, such as regenerating old cells, getting rid of wastes and repairing cell damage.

Tumor suppressor proteins and aging

Posted on December 5, 2011 by 6s79T

The p53 tumor suppressor protein, often termed guardian of the genome, integrates diverse physiological signals in mammalian cells. In response to stress signals, perhaps the best studied of which is the response to DNA damage, p53 becomes functionally active and triggers either a transient cell cycle arrest, cell death (apoptosis) or permanent cell cycle arrest (cellular senescence). Both apoptosis and cellular senescence are potent tumor suppressor mechanisms that irreversibly prevent damaged cells from undergoing neoplastic transformation. However, both processes can also deplete renewable tissues of proliferation-competent progenitor or stem cells. Such depletion, in turn, can compromise the structure and function of tissues, which is a hallmark of aging. Moreover, whereas apoptotic cells are by definition eliminated from tissues, senescent cells can persist, acquire altered functions, and thus alter tissue microenvironments in ways that can promote both cancer and aging phenotypes. Evidences suggest that increased p53 activity can, at least under some circumstances, promote organismal aging. How p53 integrates the outcome of the DNA damage response to optimally balance tumor suppression and longevity is an area of investigation.

Advice For Women Dealing With Age Related Loss Of Hair

Posted on December 4, 2011 by 6s79T

Hair loss one of those things women don’t really talk about, so you might be surprised to learn how common it is: Our national survey found that almost one-third of women experienced hair loss or balding at some point in their lives. Almost a third of women said they first noticed some hair loss when they were 40 years old or younger. On average, women who experienced gradual hair loss first noticed it when they were 47. Women who experienced sudden hair loss, on average, said their most recent episode occurred when they were 48. And about half of women with hair loss reported worrying a lot about losing more hair in the future, compared with only about a quarter of the men.

Our ShopSmart staffers recently asked Hayes B. Gladstone, M.D., director of the Stanford Advanced Skin Care Center in Redwood City, Calif. for his expert advice for women dealing with hair loss.

I never had a problem with thinning hair until I turned 40. Why me and why now? As women enter their 40s, some thinning of the hair is normal, and it becomes increasingly common as women get older. There can be medical reasons, such as anemia or hypothyrodism, but most often it’s simply a matter of aging.

Is Rogaine a good option for women? Rogaine (minoxidil) is a good option. Although only the 2 percent formulation is approved for use by women, they can use the 5 percent, keeping in mind that the stronger formulation is more likely to cause irritation and other side effects. Five percent Rogaine also comes in a foam, which is easier to use. Either version should be used twice daily and, because of possible risks to the fetus or a nursing infant, should not be used by women who are pregnant or lactating. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that postmenopausal women get better results than younger women.

How long do I need to use it? If you’re using minoxidil to compensate for short-term hair loss, you can stop as soon as you see new growth. But if you’re treating age-related hair loss, you’ll have to keep using it indefinitely to maintain results.

Propecia worked for my husband. Would it help me? It might, but because it also carries a risk of birth defects, I would only prescribe Propecia (finasteride) for those women who are past their childbearing years. It can stop hair loss and may produce modest hair regrowth. Because using minoxidil or finasteride alone tends to produce modest results, the two are often prescribed together in hopes of boosting effectiveness.

Are there any supplements that will help thicken my hair? The short answer is no. A balanced diet will optimize hair growth. Vitamins will only help if you are deficient in a specific nutrient such as iron.

Is a hair transplant a smart idea for women? It can be, especially if there is a significant amount of age-related hair loss. Transplants work best when there are patches of bare scalp because we can place grafts close together without damaging live follicles. That’s why I tell balding men to expect about 85 percent of grafts to survive. For women with more diffuse hair loss, it may only be 50 percent.

How acupuncture can help with longevity

Posted on December 4, 2011 by 6s79T

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clearly states that illness occurs due to the blockage of chi in any of fourteen different meridians. Reasons for this kind of obstruction are external forces such as traumatic events or over exposure to specific elements. Alternatively, internal causes like stress, super charged emotions caused by life stressors, or the normal occurrences of aging caused by wear and tear. Acupuncture advocate the free flow of energy without obstructions. The method are used to treat arthritis, allergies, migraine headaches, depression, menstrual cramps, nausea and anxieties. Because acupuncture uses very thin, long needles to puncture the skin it should be performed by an experienced practitioner who is skilled in traditional Chinese medicine.
