Youth using e-cigarettes 3 times as likely to become daily cigarette smokers – University of California

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

An analysis of a large nationally representative longitudinal study by University of California San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science report that starting tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, before the age of 18 is a major risk factor for people becoming daily cigarette smokers.

Reporting in the January 11, 2021 online edition of Pediatrics, researchers found that in 2014 people age 12 to 24 who used e-cigarettes were three times as likely to become daily cigarette smokers in the future. Among those who reported using a tobacco product, daily use increased with age through age 28. Daily cigarette smoking nearly doubled between 18 to 21 year olds (12 percent) and 25 to 28 year olds (21 percent).

This is the first paper that actually looks at progression to dependent cigarette smoking among young adults. In these data, e-cigarettes are a gateway for those who become daily cigarette smokers, said the studys first author, John P. Pierce, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus at Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. The start product has changed from cigarettes to e-cigarettes, but the end product has stayed the same. When users become dependent on nicotine, they are converting to cigarette smoking.

Researchers used data from the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) Study, a longitudinal study of tobacco use and its effect on the health of people in the United States. The PATH Study, undertaken by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the FDA Center for Tobacco Products under contract to Westat, enrolled a nationally representative sample of 12 to 24 year olds between in 2013 and 2014 and re-interviewed them annually for four years to explore progression to daily use among experimenters of 12 tobacco products.

In the first year, 45 percent of study participants reported using at least one tobacco product in their lifetime. By the fourth year, as participants aged, 62 percent reported some tobacco experimentation. Among those who have ever experimented with tobacco, 73 percent had tried cigarettes and 72 percent had tried e-cigarettes. Further, more than half tried hookahs and cigarillos. Traditional cigars, filtered cigars, smokeless products, pipes and snus were each tried by more than10 percent of study participants.

The analyses revealed that, by year four, 12 percent of participants were using tobacco products daily half of whom became daily users after the first year. Seventy percent of daily users smoked cigarettes and most of them (63 percent) used cigarettes exclusively. Of those who smoked cigarettes and used another tobacco product, half vaped e-cigarettes on a non-daily basis.

Among the 17 percent of daily users who were vaping every day, almost half were also non-daily cigarette smokers. Further follow-up will determine whether these young daily tobacco users continue to use both products or whether they settle on a single product, said Pierce.

What were seeing is that the proportion who are daily e-cigarette users did not increase with age. Whereas with cigarettes the number of users jumps up rapidly with age, said Pierce. This rapid increase with age only occurred with cigarettes, not with any other tobacco products.

Less than 1 percent of study participants who experimented with just one tobacco product progressed to daily cigarette smoking. People who had tried five or more products increased their risk of becoming daily cigarette smokers by 15 percentage points.

Trying e-cigarettes and multiple other tobacco products before the age of 18 is also strongly associated with becoming daily cigarette smoking, said senior author Karen Messer, Ph.D., professor at UC San Diego Herbert Wertheim School of Public Health and Human Longevity Science and director of biostatics at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

We know that e-cigarette use among high school seniors, most under the age of 18, increased from 38 percent in 2016 to 45 percent in 2019. These results suggest that recent rapid growth in adolescent e-cigarette use will lead to increased daily cigarette smoking among young adults in the United States, reversing decades of decline in cigarette smoking.

Co-authors include: Ruifeng Chen, Eric C. Leas, Martha M. White, Sheila Kealey, Matthew D. Stone, Tarik Benmarhnia, Dennis R. Trinidad and David R. Strong, all of UC San Diego.

This research was funded, in part, by the National Institutes of Health (1R01CA234539) and by the Tobacco-Related Disease Research Program of the University of California Office of the President (28IR-0066).

Over 50s Spending Spree Boosts Economy By Billions – Money International

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

Older consumers are a benefit to the economy rather than a drain on resources, according to new research.

The over 50s will spend 63p in every 1 in the UK by 2040 rising from 54p in the 1 in 2018.

And the money is spent across the board rather than on specific goods and services,

However, think-tank the International Longevity Centre (ILC) believes the country could benefit even more if the government looked at lifting barriers to spending by older people.

The ILC reportMaximising the longevity dividendreveals spending by the over 50s has dominated the UK economy since 2013 and will rise over the coming decades, from 54% (319 billion) of total consumer spending in 2018 to 63% by 2040 (550 billion).

According to the report, lifting barriers to spending by the over 75s could add 2% (47 billion) to GDP a year by 2040 and supporting the over 50s to remain in the workforce could add an another 1.3% to GDP a year by 2040.

David Sinclair, Director of the ILC, said: As the population ages there are enormous economic opportunities, but these are currently being neglected.

There are enormous gains to be made by individual businesses and for the economy if we can unlock the spending and earning power of older adults.

But too many people face barriers to working and spending in later life issues like inaccessible high streets, poorly designed products, and age discriminatory attitudes require a serious response.

Weve become accustomed to hearing our ageing population talked about as a bad thing but the reality is it could be an opportunity.

However, we wont realise this longevity dividend through blind optimism about ageing. Instead, we need concerted action to tackle the barriers to spending and working in later life.

We need action to make sure our extra years are healthy years, we need accessible high streets and workplaces that are free from age discrimination and we need continued action to ensure that people have access to decent pensions in later life.

Realising the longevity dividend will require decisive action of the kind weve yet to see from either business or government. For all the talk of baby boomers dominating politics, weve yet to see a serious response to the opportunities and this needs to change.

3 Benefits Of CBD Oil To Manage Anxiety And Stress – Longevity LIVE – Longevity LIVE

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

Its ironic that people have never been this anxious and stressed in a world that has never seen so much comfort, technological, and medical advancement. As if the more artificial certainty we create for ourselves through medicine, perfectly coordinated schedules, and effortless processes thanks to technology, we have become more afraid of the uncertainty of life.

Acceptance of this uncertainty is the first step to easing stress and anxiety. After all, the unknown is such a massive part of our life whether we choose to acknowledge it or not. After that, we can try to ease stress and anxiety with other healthy habits. Reducing the amount of sugar and exercising more outside are two excellent ways of bringing more peace into our life.

There is another natural way to ease stress and anxiety a natural compound that has been around for thousands of years known as CBD.

Short for cannabinol, CBD is the second most predominant active ingredient in the cannabis plant. CBD is derived from the hemp plant, and as a result, it contains a low level of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The latter is a considerable component of marijuana it is the reason users become high. However, in hemp-derived CBD, the THC level is less than 0.3 percent, so users are at no risk of becoming high or overdosing.

This is why the World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed CBD a safe, natural compound. Its low THC content is also the reason countries such as the US have legalized CBD. Although research on this natural compound is limited, researchers have noted the significant potential CBD has for a list of chronic and mental health issues such as diabetes, depression, insomnia, PTSD, and more.

Thanks to its positive attributes, some of the worlds top CBD oil brands have made this natural compound more accessible and safer to buy, whether online or in a brick-and-mortar store. CBD oil is easy to ingest. You can take it sublingually by placing a drop under your tongue for it to be absorbed quickly, or you can add it to anything from your morning smoothie, coffee, cereal, or salad dressing.

Chemical imbalances in our brain and hormone imbalance in the body are the leading causes of stress and anxiety once we face stressful situations, whether they are real or imagined. Treating stress and anxiety with CBD is possible and safe. The following are three ways CBD oil can help.

For those who are chronically stressed and anxious, taking something that will make you feel you have lost control isnt a good idea. This is why anxious people who take marijuana do not enjoy the experience. Its because the high THC content and the mind-altering effects it brings makes them feel more anxious and paranoid.

This is not an issue with CBD. Since this natural compound causes no mind-altering effects, you will not experience more anxiety and stress caused by the fear of getting high and losing control. Researchers have noted no harmful side effects of CBD, and unlike some medications, it is gentle on the organs. The only known side effects some CBD users have experienced include nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.

Cortisol is a critical hormone that helps us determine whether we fight or flight during an emergency. But when you suffer from chronic stress and cortisol is released continuously in the body, it leads to adverse effects. High levels of cortisol lead to a weak immune system, weight gain, and chronic fatigue. All of these factors can cause more stress.

CBD can help ease stress by balancing cortisol levels in the body. When you take CBD oil, the cannabinoids interact with the receptors running through the body. Although researchers have yet to understand how CBD interacts with the receptors, they know that it can signal to them and trigger change. Here, the change comes as more balanced cortisol levels in the body.

CBD can also trigger the release of more serotonin and GABA in the mind and body. Serotonin is a critical neurotransmitter that infuses us with the sense of well-being we need to feel less anxious. Located in the brain region, GABA helps ease anxiety by signaling to the body to be more relaxed. In both cases, CBD can interact with the receptors to trigger changes and encourage the body to increase serotonin and GABA levels.

Stress and anxiety are part of life, but they do not need to rule our days. Healthily dealing with them is better than avoiding these negative traits, as we would be allowing them to become worse. When you feel overwhelmed, it is best to turn to someone you can trust. They will remind you that although you may feel like it, you are not alone. You can get through this.

Mystery Plant: Beautiful, magical and edible, this aquatic bloom has many uses – The Daily Progress

Tuesday, January 19th, 2021

Following the leaves, a given rhizome will produce one or more flowering stalks. These stalks (also roughened) are without leaves themselves: such a stalk is called a scape. (Another good example of a scape would be the stem of a daffodil.). Each scape will bear a single flower, all the way at the top. A football-shaped, green bud eventually will open up, allowing the flowers 15 or so exquisitely pink (sometimes white) tepals to spread open. The center of the flower bears a lot of stamens, often more than 100, and several pistils, with each pistil embedded in a flattened receptacle.

At maturity, the tepals have all fallen away, and the receptacle swells a bit into a conical shape, with very hard, spherical seeds embedded in its tissue. These seeds are amazing for their longevity, easily sprouting after 100 years of dormancy. Some reports indicate that they may still be good after several centuries.

The entire plant, in addition to the rhizomes, has been used since antiquity in central and eastern Asia, where it is native, in various ways. But it is the extraordinary blossoms that make this species so special: a plant that can resurrect itself from quiet mud into something resplendent and almost sacred.

By the way, the seeds will sprout if scarified, and sometimes the rhizomes are available for planting. Be aware that, if happy enough, this plant can be invasive.

The meat spot – Japanese people may have gained longevity by balancing their diets | Graphic detail – The Economist

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Japans rate of strokes fell during a period when it began eating a bit of meat

Jan 16th 2021

TANAKA KANE is one of humanitys great outliers. On January 2nd she became the third person ever to turn 118, according to the Gerontology Research Group, a team of academics. She is also the first citizen of Japan to reach 118but is unlikely to be the last. The country has the worlds longest life expectancy, and 80,000 centenarians.

Mrs Tanaka is an outlier for another reason, too. She claims to love chocolate and fizzy drinks, setting her apart from most of her compatriots. Japan has long had one of the lowest sugar-consumption rates in the OECD, a club of mainly wealthy countries.

The unusual longevity enjoyed in Japan is often credited to diet. Yet the idea that the country has extended lifespans by entirely avoiding the Wests sinful culinary delights may be too simple. In fact, recent studies imply that one key to its success may be that its peoples diets have shifted over time towards Western eating patterns.

Japan was not always a longevity champion. In 1970 its age-adjusted mortality rates were average for the OECD. Although its levels of cancer and heart disease were relatively low, it also had the OECDs highest frequency of cerebrovascular deaths, caused by blood failing to reach the brain.

In 1970-90, however, Japans cerebrovascular mortality rate fell towards the OECD average. With world-beating numbers on heart disease and fewer strokes, Japan soared up the longevity league table.

How did Japan overcome its cerebrovascular woes? Some of its gains simply mirror better treatments and reductions in blood pressure around the world, notes Thomas Truelsen of the University of Copenhagen.

However, another cause may be diets. Japan largely banned meat for 1,200 years, and still consumes relatively little meat and dairy. Too much of these can be damaging, since they contain saturated fatty acids, which correlate to heart disease. Studies have also tied eating lots of processed red meat to a greater risk of stroke. But too little may be unwise as well, because they provide cholesterol that may be needed for blood-vessel walls. In a study of 48,000 Britons, vegetarians were unusually resistant to heart disease, but prone to strokes.

In theory, a dearth of animal-based food could have contributed to Japans historical cerebrovascular mortality. In 1960-2013, as the countrys deaths from strokes tumbled, its annual meat intake rose from near zero to 52kg per person (45% of Americas level). Tsugane Shoichiro of the National Cancer Centre in Tokyo says that his compatriots may need meat and dairy to keep their blood vessels robustthough not so much that those vessels get clogged.

Some empirical evidence supports this view. One paper from the 1990s found that the parts of Japan where diets had changed most also had the biggest drops in cerebrovascular mortality. Another study, which tracked 80,000 Japanese people in 1995-2009, showed that strokes were most common among those who ate the least chops and cream. Although Japans decline in cerebrovascular deaths could stem entirely from other causes, these data suggest that nutritional shifts may have helped.

The unhappy irony is that Japans health gains, paired with a low birth rate, threaten its economy. By 2060, 40% of Japanese could be 60 or older. That would yield more birthday cakes with 118 candlesand fewer great-grandchildren to blow them out.

The 17 Best Longevity Tips Experts Taught Us in 2020 – Well+Good

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

In recent years, the motivation for healthy habits like veggie-heavy diets and regular exercise has shifted from present-day benefits to those more long-term in nature. And were not just interested in extending our lifespan, but our health span, tooaka the length of time we are not only alive but alive and well. Most of us want to die with our boots on, as my grandfather would sayable in both mind and body.

As such, longevity research has become a major focus in the wellness world and this year, we learned quite a bit about how to optimize our daily lives now for the benefit of our future selves. Below, a rundown of the best tips weve accumulated in 2020 for living your healthiest life into your 80s and beyondbecause theres a lot to live well for just ask President-Elect Joe Biden, who is 78!

1. Exercise this many times per week

Its no secret that human beings were designed to be a lot more active than most of us currently are in our modern-day, screen-heavy existences; however, you dont need to give up hope of a long life if youre pressed for tons of time to move each week. This year, a new study published inJAMA Internal Medicinefound that those who engage in moderate or vigorous exercise 150 minutes per weekhad lower all-cause mortality.

That translates to just 22 minutes of moderate-to-intense exercise per day. Those who got these 150 minutes per week showed a lower risk of early death from all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease mortality, and cancer mortality.

Benefits were especially notable in those who tended toward the more rigorous side of the equation, opting for running, High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) routines, or something equally as taxing. The takeaway there is that if you are doing lower-impact exercises, it might help to throw a few more hardcore (think: quick and dirty) fitness routines into the mix as well. Not sure where to start? Here are nine such workouts you can try now (or January 1, because resolutions).

2. This particular workout format packs the best longevity punch

Any exercise is better than none, so if theres a format you love and that gets you moving, you should one hundred percent stick to it. But if youre open to new things or are already a devotee, research this year shows that HIIT workouts are the most effective form of fitness from a longevity standpoint.

The study looked at the effects of two weekly HIIT workouts per week on 70 to 77 year-olds and found that all-cause mortality was 36 percent lower in that group than in the studys control group (which did whatever kind of exercise they liked). Thirty-six percent!

The specific HIIT routine the studys participants engaged in was the 44 format, which divides each workout into a 10-minute warm-up period followed by four high-intensity intervals. Each interval consists of one to two minutes of extreme exertion, at about 90 percent of maximum heart rate, followed by a three-minute period at about 60 percent of heart rate. The session then concludes with a cool down period. If you want toe try one out, here are four to get you started.

3. If your workouts dont include this one move, they probably should

Technically, research just shows that if you can do this one move easily, that in and of itself is a good indication of longevity: the squat. So while this doesnt necessarily show that doing squats will increase your lifespan, it stands to reason that one way to ensure you can do them easily is to, well, do themand frequently.

One of the reasons its such a good exerciseboth to practice frequently and as a longevity predictor is that its functional, meaning we sort of need to be able to execute squat-like movements regularly in everyday life when, for example, we move from sitting to standing. Plus, we sit too much, and therefore the parts of our bodies, e.g. the glutes, which squats activate do not get nearly the amount of work they were built to take on.

Its critical, howeverfor knee health especiallythat you squat with proper form; heres how.

4. Cardio is not to be overlooked, either

Its not always possible for everyone to engage in high-impact exercise like HIIT or running, but that doesnt mean theyre screwed from a longevity perspective. In some cases, people might want to choose exercises that are gentler on their joints, which is not the same thing as being easy.

According to a cardiologist, there are five types of low-impact cardio thatll work you out hard without irritating aging or injured parts of your body: swimming, walking, cycling, rowing, and elliptical. Or, heres a 25-minute low-impact cardio workout you can try from home today.

5. Overall, your workout routines should include these 3 pillars

Ultimately, the best fitness routines are a mix of a number of different modalities, and exercising for longevity is no different. According toAleksandra Stacha-Fleming, founder of NYCs Longevity Lab, a gym that works with people of all ages to create workouts that help their bodies age properly, your regular workouts should typically include a smattering of the following: cardio, for your heart; strength-training, for your bones; and anything that works your flexibility and mobility, e.g. yoga. Get workout vids for each here.

1. Always keep these 6 foods on hand in your fridge

According to Dan Buettner, longevity expert and author ofThe Blue Zones Kitchen, the longest-living people in the world dont obsess over or restrict what they eat; however, they naturally consume nutrient-dense foods as a way of life. The six such foods Buettner thinks you should stock up on ASAP to follow their lead are nuts, vegetables, fruit, tofu, fish, and alt-milk. Find out more about why here.

You might want to add a jar of canned hearts of palm to your shopping list the next time youre try to stock your fridge, too. The ingredient is nutrient-dense, antioxidant-rich, and packed with minerals like potassium, iron, phosphorus, and zinc. Most importantly, its Blue Zones diet-approved, meaning its a longevity-booster, too. Try these 9 recipes to make use of your next hearts of palm haul.

2. Meanwhile, these 5 foods should go in your freezer

Buettner also has thoughts on what should be found in your freezer if you hope to emulate the worlds centenarians. His top five picks include a lot of the same things you should simultaneously keep fresh in your fridge, like fruits and vegetables, and nuts fall into both categories, too. Additionally, Buettner recommends keeping bread (bless you, Buettner!) and whole grains on ice, too. Get a few recipes made with each ingredient on this Buettners freezer list here.

3. Pack these in your pantry

Buettner even shared what he keeps in his own kitchen specifically when it comes to his pantry. What youll find there includes staples such as beans, legumes, whole grains (specifically steel-cut oats and brown rice), nuts, and seeds. You should keep canned greens in your pantry, too.

4. Herbs and spices are oh-so-important, too

Excess inflammation is an enemy of healthy aging, and plants are packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. According to herbalist Rachelle Robinett, nutrient-dense herbs are, therefore, a great supplement for anyone looking to enhance the longevity benefits of their diet. Specifically, she recommends ginger, turmeric, spirulina, chili peppers, and ginsengfind out more on why here.

People in the Blue Zone of Okinawa, Japan, also consume an herb called otani-watari, which can be boiled and added to stir-fries, soups, and salad.

4. This one-pot recipe is a longevity experts favorite go-to meal

Whatever Buettner, whos made his lifes work longevity, is eating regularly, Ill have, too. Fortunately, this year he shared his favorite go-to meal, which just so happens to be a one-pot Ikarian Longevity Stew packed with legumes and superstar veggies. Get the recipe here.

5. Overall, its this popular diet that wins the day with respect to longevity

You may have noticed a theme in the above tips, which is that they heavily emphasize fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains; however, the longest-living people in the world arent necessarily vegans. Instead, they adhere to the Mediterranean Diet, and recent research has strengthened the link between it and longevity.

The study found that the Mediterranean diet may be linked to lowering inflammation markers and increasing both brain function and gut healthand therefore improving the aging process overall.

Essentially, the Mediterranean diet does call for substantial amounts of those aforementioned fruits, veggies, whole grains, and nuts. It also adds olive oil as a key component alongside fish and encourages a reduction in the consumption of red meat and saturated fats.

Need a little help making shifting your eating habits to better reflect this diet? Try the Blue Zones specific daily, weekly, and monthly guide for eating more like the longest-living humans on the planet.

6. To keep it simpler still, follow these golden rules of eating for longevity

If all of the above sounds like a lot, consider this; according to Buettner, there are six golden consumption rules to follow if you want to live longer, and TBH, theyre not very restrictive. The first is to drink wine after 5 p.m., ideally with friends or loved ones and a meal. (Um, twist my arm!) The second is to eat mostly plant-based foods, which at this point feels a bit repetitive, so duh. The third is to forget fad-diet brainwashing and carbo load to your hearts desire, as long as your carbs of choice are derived from grains, greens, tubers, nuts, and beans. The fourth is to eat less meat, as mentioned prior, and the fifth is to stick to just three beveragescoffee, that aforementioned wine (okay, yes), and lots and lots of water. Find out what the lastand least obviousgolden rule is here.

1. Keep a consistent sleep schedule

The Dalai Lama might not be a longevity expert per se, but he is doing pretty well at the spritely age of 85. One of his top six tips for extending your lifespan is to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. And even though he starts his day at 3 a.m., his 7 p.m. bedtime ensures he gets a solid eight hours of sleep per night.

Hobbies

1. Volunteer

One less-easy-to-imitate characteristic of those occupying the worlds Blue Zones is that they retain a sense of purpose throughout their lives. In America, we tend to put older people to pasture, so to speak, and they are less naturally integrated into family and community life, too.

One way to hack a sense of purpose in our (cold, heartless) societynot just when youre older but at any ageis to volunteer. Research shows that helping other people can actually help you to live a longer life. Our results show that volunteerism among older adults doesnt just strengthen communities, but enriches our own lives by strengthening our bonds to others, helping us feel a sense of purpose and well-being, and protecting us from feelings of loneliness, depression, and hopelessness, Eric S. Kim, PhD, research scientist at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, said in a press release about the study. Find out more here, including how to adapt this hashtag-goals habit to pandemic times.

2. Grow a green thumb

According to Buettner, people in the Blue Zones, or longest-living areas of the world, garden well into their 90s and beyond. Gardening is the epitome of a Blue Zone activity because its sort of a nudge: You plant the seeds and youre going to be nudged in the next three to four months to water it, weed it, harvest it, he says. And when youre done, youre going to eat an organic vegetable, which you presumably like because you planted it. Find out more on the research behind this here.

3. Meditate

Not to state the obvious, but the Dalai Lamas longevity routine also includes regular meditation. And while he practices for seven hours a day, research shows that just five minutes per day can reap benefits such as sharpening your mind, reducing stress and, importantly, slowing aging.

4. Practice compassion

The Dalai Lama considers compassion to be one of the keys to happiness, and science says it has pro-social benefits, too. These might help us live longer lives, as humans thrive in the communities many Americans find it more difficult to build than those living in the Blue Zones do. Showing concern, care, and empathy to others can endear you to them and ensure that when the shoe is on the other foot, youve got others to lean on, too. This reciprocal relationship gives you that aforementioned sense of longevity-endowing purpose, too.

"The COVID pandemic increased loneliness and isolation among older adults which we know leads to higher levels of depression, poorer cardiovascular and diabetes health and higher rates of Alzheimer's disease," said Beth Sanders, CEO and founder of LifeBio. "MyHello is designed to be a high-tech intervention for loneliness using existing landline or mobile phones and connecting older adults with engaging conversations with the power of life stories. Research shows we reduce depression and increase happiness and well-being using the LifeBio Reminiscence Method and personalized story methods."

Julianne Holt-Lunstadat Brigham Young University, one of the foremost researchers on social isolation and loneliness, found these conditions have as much impact on longevity as obesity or even smoking. It is estimated more than 42 million older adults feel isolated and lonely, whether they live alone or in congregate living communities. In 2020, isolation and loneliness for seniors were exacerbated by the safety restrictions during the pandemic. In addition to the individual impact, loneliness and social isolation also account for $6.7 billion in additional Medicare spending annually according to a 2017 reportby AARP.

Live longer: Chlorophyll reduces cancer risk and promotes liver health to boost longevity – Express

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Chlorophyll is a pigment present in all green plants and a few other organisms. It is required for photosynthesis, which is the process by which light energy is converted into chemical energy. According to health experts, chlorophyll should be part of our daily lives and with the numerous health benefits its easy to see why.

Chlorophyll contains vitamins, antioxidants, and therapeutic properties that all majorly benefit the body.

Dr Keith Kantor, nutritionist and dietician and CEO of the Nutritional Addiction Mitigation Eating and Drinking program said: Chlorophyllsuppresses appetite, aids in weight loss, decreases spikes in insulin which lessens cravings, helps with skin healing, helps in detoxifying the blood, reduces the risk for cancer, increases energy, helps in eliminating odours (as a natural deodorant), and helps in boosting the immune system.

People have used chlorophyll as a health supplement for many years.

A variety of medical studies have suggested that it may be helpful for skin conditions, body odours, and fighting certain kinds ofcancer.

In a study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, chlorophylls ability to extend lifespan was investigated..

Results of the study indicate that chlorophyll is absorbed by worms and is thus bioavailable, constituting an important prerequisite for antioxidant and longevity-promoting activities inside the body, noted the study.

It continued: Our study thereby supports the view that green vegetables may also be beneficial for humans.

In conclusion, our experiments demonstrate that chlorophyll exhibits substantial antioxidant activity and significantly improves antioxidant resistance ofC. elegans.

Therefore, dietary chlorophyll derivatives support the recommendation of nutritionists to eat green vegetables and salads containing high contents of chlorophyll, as this could also help to improve human health and prevent diseases.

In another study published in Science Alert, the effects of chlorophyll on body functioning and blood glucose levels were analysed.

The study noted: Blood glucose levels can be affected by the various types of chlorophyll.

Experiments have proven that chlorophyll has antioxidant activities that are present in various foods.

A diet rich in chlorophyll led to a slight decrease in the number of white blood cells, haematocrit, haemoglobin and an increase in red blood cells compared with control.

It is concluded that chlorophyll is likely to have important implications regarding blood sugar and has benefits in body weight with further studies being warranted.

In addition to its neuroprotective and appetite-suppressing effects, chlorophyll promotes liver health and balances the gut flora.

A recent study posted in Frontiers in Physiology in 2018 has found that chlorophyllin may help relieve hepatic fibrosis symptoms by reducing harmful gut bacteria.

The study also indicates that chlorophyllin may reduce liver inflammation and protect the small intestine in mice with hepatic fibrosis.

Its beneficial effects on the gut microbiota hold promise for future research.

Freddie Gibbs Explains Why Longevity In Hip-Hop Is The Key To Success – Genius

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Id rather have it later in life than get it quick and then lose it all.

Freddie Gibbs is 38 years old and still watching himself reach new career peaks. The veteran rapper, who is up for a Best Rap Album Grammy at the 2021 show, recently linked up with Vulture to discuss his 2020 achievements, and he reflected on the challenge and reward of achieving career longevity in rap music.

While he didnt find it hard to get a record deal, Gibbs explained that finding stable success in hip-hop took much longer.

I never worked hard to get signed. I got signed after probably a year or two of even rapping. I didnt really know what that was to be signed or none of that, he said. I got dropped in six months. That sh-t came and went very quick. I had to learn how to become my own machine.

He noted that the long path to fame taught him the value of patience.

My path to where Im at is very unique, probably quite different than a lot of other people. I had to fall flat real quick, and then learn how to take some years and time and a whole lot of effort to get where Im at, he said. If you wouldve told me 10 years ago that I was going to have to wait 10 years to be Grammy nominated, I dont know if I would have kept rapping. But thats me and my young mind. I would have been like, Damn, I got to do this sh-t 10 more years? The years in between are all learning years. I wasnt ready for the stage that Im on right now, back then. But now Im ready for it.

Gibbs' career dates back to the early 2000s, with his first mixtape, Full Metal Jakit, Vol. 1, dropping in 2004. After appearing the 2010 XXL Freshman class alongside rappers from J. Cole and Wiz Khalifa to Fashawn and Donnis, he released his major debut album, ESGN, in 2013. He found critical acclaim alongside Madlib with their collaborative albums Piata (2014) and Bandana (2019).

Despite the journey, Gibbs expressed gratitude for the slow-burning success compared to some of his early peers.

Motherf-ckers feel like if they dont make it by 22, they dead, he said. Id rather have it later in life than get it quick and then lose it all. I know a lot of rappers that were popping 10 years ago when I was trying to get it popping, and now they gone. A lot of those guys probably cant go do a show nowhere; a lot of them probably dont own their masters; a lot of them probably aint getting no money off streams or whatever; a lot of them probably signed with somebody who cant put out a project. Its all about longevity for me.

Gibbs is competing for Best Rap Album at the March 2021 Grammys ceremony for his The Alchemist collaborative project, Alfredo. The project earned both artists the highest-charting debut of their careers, landing at No. 15 with 31,000 equivalent album units sold in its first week.

How to live longer: The best herbs and spices to extend longevity – Express

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

As well as adding flavour to your food, herbs and spices can also provide numerous protective qualities that can help you live longer. This is a much better alternative to condiments loaded with salt that can cause health problems.

Research nutritionist for the John Hopkins University School of Medicine, Diane Vizthum, commented on the subject matter.

"Spices are concentrated sources of antioxidants," Vizthum said, noting their "therapeutic properties".

People who wish to lower their blood sugar levels would benefit from sprinkling cinnamon onto their porridge.

Another spice recommended by Vizthum is turmeric - ideal for curry dishes, tacos and on roasted vegetables and meats.

Hailed a super spice for its anti-inflammatory properties, turmeric has been linked to a reduction in brain disease.

Referencing a study, Vizthum stated participants who consumed curcumin - a component of turmeric reported improvement in memory test scores.

"Scans of their brain indicated significantly fewer markers associated with cognitive decline," added an impressed Vizthum.

Vizthum advises people to simmer or stew foods with spices to "heighten the antioxidant levels", instead of frying or grilling.

Dietician Monica Auslander Moreno also recognises the health benefits of herbs and spices.

"Herbs and spices fight inflammation and reduce damage to your bodys cells, Moreno added.

"Thats because each one is rich in phytochemicals, which are healthful plant chemicals."

Moreno recommends adding chilli peppers to your food, as they can "help keep blood vessels healthy".

The Mayo Clinic warns of the dangers of damaged blood vessels, which includes raising blood pressure and potentially causing a stroke.

One herb Moreno recommends is cumin another great addition to curries as it can promote weight loss.

One study involving 88 overweight women who ate less than a teaspoon of cumin daily lost more body fat and weight than those who didn't; both groups were put on the same low-calorie diet.

The NHS points out the health hazards of carrying too much weight, as it can increase your risk of the following health conditions:

Rosemary is another herb recommended by Moreno, as it's rich in antioxidants that prevent cell damage.

To summarise, cinnamon, turmeric, chilli peppers, cumin and rosemary are the herbs and spices you need in your home.

Out of these five herbs and spices, which ones do you have? And what are your favourites? Please put your recommendations below on which spices and herbs go well with what dishes.

$200 mn project at US Embassy: Testimony to strength, longevity of US-India relations – The Indian Express

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia, and outgoing US Ambassador to India Kenneth I Juster Friday broke ground on the new more environmentally sustainable Chancery building to be constructed inside the US Embassy campus.

The project we celebrate today is more than a series of buildings and infrastructure. It reflects Americas enduring commitment to the US-India partnership and is a testament to the strength and longevity of that partnership, Juster said.

The new design reduces total water use by 37% and potable water use by 74%. The reflecting pool will be redesigned to capture stormwater during the monsoon season, storing one million gallons for treatment and reuse Throughout the project, the Embassy will be planting over 2,000 trees in public areas in New Delhi, he said.

Juster said the endeavour was also an investment in the local community. During the project, an approximate $200 million will be invested in the local economy and the project will employ approximately 800 Indian workers at the peak of construction activities. These workers will have the opportunity to learn new technical skills and safety awareness that will help distinguish them in the local market, he said.

Speaking at the event, Puri lauded Justers contribution to strengthening India-US relations, saying ties were stronger, more enduring and with greater potential now as compared to when the envoy had come to India.

Sisodia too said the relationship between the US Embassy and the Delhi government was mutually beneficial. India has adopted a New Education Policy which has enabled partnership in higher education with reputed universities of the world. The Delhi government will seek your cooperation in making Delhi a regional educational hub for some of the Ivy League colleges and schools, he said.

In a statement, the US Embassy said the new Chancery building will stand adjacent to the iconic original Chancery and the Ambassadors Residence at Roosevelt House on the Embassy campus. Friday also marked the 62nd anniversary of the ground-breaking of the original Chancery in 1959.

Stone Ridge Lane receives validation with stipulations – Post Register

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Stone Ridge Lane was officially validated and received by Bingham County on Monday, January 11.

BLACKFOOT Dusty Whited, Bingham County Public Works director, met with the county commissioners Monday morning to present the findings on the study of Stone Ridge Lane formerly referred to as Neff Road regarding its validation. The validation process is conducted to ensure that the reception of the road happens with proper knowledge surrounding the longevity and quality regarding how it was built.

Whited stated that compaction studies as well as core samples were taken from multiple locations to verify the quality only to return less than stellar results. The first major issue that was noticed was that the core samples did not meet the depth requirements set forth by the county and the second issue noticed was that if cuts were to be made into the road to fix the areas that fell just shy of the requirement, the longevity of the road could be compromised.

Whited explained that the depth was shy only one-eighth of an inch of the desired two-and-one-half-inches, and he felt confident that the small difference should not be a staggering issue for the roadway. He furthered his point by stating that if they were to require the section to be removed, not only would it provide areas for water to potentially enter which leads to issues due to the cold weather but it would also present a possibility of having compaction issues in the area leading to what he called alligator pitting. Alligator pitting is a colloquial term that describes when a smaller section of roadway breaks into small pieces, presenting an appearance of alligator scales.

Despite the small difference in the roadway and the countys requirements, Whited felt confident enough to recommend that the commissioners accept the road as is with the stipulations that it is not the countys responsibility to repair any failures of the newly paved roadway. The developer of the area that was required to install the road to meet the development agreement takes full responsibility for any failures that could arise over the next three years. The developer had hired Black Diamond Paving to build the road.

The commissioners voted in favor of accepting the road with the three-year condition. They then signed the documents along with the developer.

‘Samost ja Sildam’: The government could indicate longevity of restrictions – ERR News

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Samost said that Estonia is the fifth in Europe when it comes to the pace of vaccination, while that is hardly noteworthy.

"Estonia is a very small and flexible country and society that can be mobilized very quickly. // If we had more vaccine and moved even faster, we would have already inoculated our medical staff by today," he said.

Samost added that Estonia has vaccinated a lot more people per capita than Finland, France and Switzerland for example.

That said, Israel took delivery of 100,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine this week and another batch of Pfizer's on Sunday, he added.

"Whether [Minister of Social Affairs] Tanel Kiik picks up the phone to shout at the European healthcare commissioner or not would probably make very little difference. Just as it is a fact Estonia cannot dictate terms to Pfizer," Samost explained.

He said that Estonia is rather in the role of a customer and the quantity of available vaccine depends on the European Commission and manufacturers. Additionally, it is unclear how many doses of the Pfizer vaccine will be delivered before the shipment gets underway from Belgium.

Sildam said it is also important to talk about restrictions and when they might be lifted.

He added that the situation might cause gaps in education as students in Northern Estonia are still looking at remote learning in the second academic half-year.

Samost said there is no explanation for grades 5-8 and 10-11 remaining on remote learning. "If there is a good reason somewhere that goes beyond hot air, I have not seen it yet," he added.

Sildam also said that it remains unclear when different restaurants and sports facilities will be opened in Tallinn, Harju County and Ida-Viru County.

"People, mostly Tallinners, // drive to Paide, Kohila or Haapsalu that are all roughly an hour's drive from the capital to go to the gym," Samost said, adding that it is a fine way to spread the virus all over the country.

Sildam added that while it cannot really be held against residents, it prompts the question of whether regional restrictions have real positive effect.

"Estonian hospitals have not collapsed. Medical institutions that have experienced staffing problems have found temporary employees," Sildam said.

He added that Estonians owe thanks to medical professionals. Samost agreed and said that the Estonian medical system has held out much better than its Latvian and Lithuanian counterparts in a situation where the latter have maintained very strict coronavirus measures for a long time.

The hosts agreed that the government and the COVID-19 advisory council should give an indication of when current restrictions might be relaxed or lifted.

Matt Roberts: the exercise regime that will help you stay younger for longer – Telegraph.co.uk

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

Go up a gear with jogs and bike rides

When you feel fitter, make some of this daily activity a more moderate intensity, such as a spin on an indoor bike, some fast-paced walking or a light jog. Moderate-level cardio should be done three days a week, says Roberts. The level should feel like a seven out of 10 intensity. You should be able to have a conversation but should also be raising a sweat.

This helps fortify the heart and control your blood pressure and blood glucose levels. We need to be more active than we think, says Roberts.

To really fine-tune your heart and lungs, and trigger cellular regeneration as you age, you need high-intensity exercise, too. We are designed to be challenged and we adapt fast, says Roberts. If we are not pushed, cellular redevelopment starts to slow.

Roberts recommends two to three high-intensity sessions per week. For those getting back into shape, a body weight circuit, or sprints on an indoor bike or rowing machine, are all good options. But if you are feeling fitter, try some sprint intervals outdoors, or a sweaty home cardio circuit with med ball throws and kettlebell swings.

Muscle mass and bone health decline with age, making you vulnerable to injuries and impairments, but there is a way to fight back. Weight training helps retain muscle mass and supports nerve function and bone density, explains Roberts. By increasing the resistance pressure, or the overload, we also increase our central nervous stimulation response which helps with our hormone production levels. This in turn helps to regenerate tissue cells, muscles, tendons, ligaments, hair and skin.

Roberts suggests doing resistance training twice a week. Start with simple exercises, such as squats, lunges and press-ups, for three to sixweeks, then build up to heavier weights, with 6-8 reps per lift. If you dont have dumbbells at home, you can try the smart body weight techniques Roberts is now using on Zoom workouts with his clients. The key is to keep it varied, he explains. You can build in pauses, holds, different ranges of motion and different speeds to work your muscle fibres. With a simple squat, for example, you might hold the position midway through, so you're building tension in the quads and inner thighs. This is called a static contraction and is used in rehab to create strength quickly. Just using a chair to do a step up, and changing the speed of that step up, by moving up slowly for 2 seconds, and down slowly for 3 seconds, is another good example.

Sitting on an indoor bike will build your fitness, yes, but playing a racket sport or team sport when were allowed to will also protect your grey matter. Find sports that encourage you to think, advises Roberts. Tennis is very analytical. Youre always working out a strategy, which is good for your synapses and your nerve endings. When you have to react quickly, it involves a vast amount of electronic responses in your brain, which is anti-ageing.

A strong core will protect your posture and flexibility as you age. As we get older, we get more joint issues and back pain which stops us doing things and leads to inactivity, explains Roberts. Thats why he suggests doing 10-15 minutes of mobility and activation exercises before each workout. Planks, V-sits and glute bridges work well, but yoga poses like the downward dog or child pose are also good for mobility.

This kind of supplementary work can also help to prevent more serious injuries as you age. If you lose your stability in your back, shoulders and hips, your chances of falling go up enormously, says Roberts. Even if you hurt your ankle or knee, your level of activity gets reduced and thats when people gain weight. So keep up a good mobility programme, whether it is through Pilates or foam roller work, so you keep feeling agile and young.

The moment we stop moving properly, the older we feel.

Does Oral Sex Increase Your Risk Of Throat Cancer? – Longevity LIVE – Longevity LIVE

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

According to recent studies, around 70% of oropharyngeal (the back one-third of the tongue, tonsils, soft palate, and the side and back walls of the throat) cancers may be caused by HPV. What does this have to do with oral sex, you ask? Well, in addition to being spread during anal and vaginal sex, HPV can also be spread through oral sex (as well as close skin contact during sex).

Whats more, a new study has found that the timing as well as the intensity of oral sex may also serve to greatly increase your risk of oropharyngeal cancer.

A recent study published in the peer-reviewed journal CANCER found that having oral sex with more than 10 previous partners was associated with a 4.3-times greater risk of developing HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer. The study also found that starting oral sex at a younger age and having more partners during a short period of time were linked to a higher likelihood of having HPV-related cancer of the mouth and throat.

For the study, Dr. Virginia Drake, MD from Johns Hopkins University, and her colleagues asked163 individuals with and 345 without HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer to complete a behavioral survey.

Totaling the results, Dr. Drake and her colleagues found that individuals who had older sexual partners when they were younger and those with partners who had extramarital sex were more likely to have HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer.

Our study builds on previous research to demonstrate that it is not only the number of oral sexual partners but also other factors not previously appreciated that contribute to the risk of exposure to HPV orally and subsequent HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer, said Dr. Drake. As the incidence of HPV-related oropharyngeal cancer continues to rise in the United States, our study offers a contemporary evaluation of risk factors for this disease. We have uncovered additional nuances of how and why some people may develop this cancer, which may help identify those at greater risk.

In addition to throat cancers, HPV can also increase your risk for cervical cancer more than 9 of every 10 cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV. HPV can also cause genital warts.

There are a few things that you can do to reduce your risk of contracting HPV. The Mayo Clinic suggests the following:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, after theHPV vaccinewas recommended in 2006 in the United States, quadrivalent typeHPVinfections decreased by 86% in female teens aged 14 to 19 years and 71% in women in their early 20s.

You can visit your local clinic to receive an HPV vaccine. It should be noted that HPV vaccinations only prevent new HPV infections they cannot treat existing HPV infections or diseases.

HPV doesnt really display symptoms in fact, most people dont even know that they have it.

This is why its important to go for regular screenings. A pap smear will help detect any abnormal HPV cells found in the cervix. Detecting it early can help to manage as well as prevent progression to cancer.

Women should go for regular Pap smears every three to five years.

To protect both you and your partner during oral sex, Avert suggests the following safe-sex tips:

Its also advisable to avoid oral sex altogether if you have:

The use of PrEP can help curb rising HIV infection rates. It can also help make living with the condition much more manageable. So, heres everything that men need to know about PrEP.

Collagen: What is it and could it be helpful? – Longevity LIVE

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

The simple answer is that its a protein. The most prevalent one in our bodies. It accounts for at least a third of the bodys protein composition. It forms the building blocks of bones, skin, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Its also found in other body parts, including teeth and blood vessels. This even includes the cornea of the eye. So, its the glue that holds our bodies together.

Although the word collagen is often used as a catch-all phrase, there are as many as 16 different types. According toHealthline, type 1, 2, 3, and 4 are the key types to focus on.

Type 1 accounts for a massive90% of our collagen composition. Its composed of densely packed fibers that provide structure to key components of the body. These include teeth, skin, bones, tendons, fibrous cartilage, and connective tissue.

This is a more loosely packed structure of the protein and is found in parts of the body. Body parts that need to stretch, bend and move freely. This type is most prevalent in elastic cartilage, which cushions your joints.

Prevalent in and used as a support structure for muscles, organs, and arteries.

Aids in the filtration process and is found mostly in the layers of the skin.

Its important to remember that as you age, your body will produce less and less collagen. And what it does produce is of lower quality. Given that its so vital for key bodily structures,its a good idea to try to increase it through diet. If your diet is already rich in the right nutrients, supplements are another great option.

Collagen production can be easily increased. It starts as pro-collagen which is made through a process in which the body combines two amino acids glycine and proline. A process that makes heavy use of vitamin C.

To aid the body in making this process as easy as possible, we should make sure to get plenty of these nutrients:

Foods such as chicken and pork skin contain a lot of collagen. However, it is unclear whether consuming more of these types of foods benefits the body. When you eat collagen-rich foods, they are simply broken down into amino acids. This means that the pure collagen in the food doesnt necessarilytranslate as more collagen in the body.

Sugar or Refined Carbs:Avoid too much sugar or refined carbs. Sugar interferes with it and prevents it from being able to repair itself.

Sun:Overexposure to UV rays can reduce the production of collagen in the body.

Smoking:Reduces collagen production and can cause wrinkles or stop wounds from healing.

Were all looking for ways to improve our health and keep our youth for as long as possible. And collagen plays an integral part when it comes to maintaining skin, muscles, teeth, and even cartilage. As you get older, it becomes more important to make sure that our bodies have the proper nutrients they require. To keep your skin elastic and healthy and make sure that it stays looking young, keeping up collagen production is vital.

Levels of collagen can be boosted in a couple of ways. For example, through supplements or by making sure your body has the right nutrients to support pro-collagen production. Healthy collagen levels can improve skin quality and muscle function as well as reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis.
