Drink little or no alcohol. Avoid stress. Take as few drugs as possible (and I mean the prescription type in particular). Eat a good diet. Don't overeat. Keep your sugar intake low. Keep your mental attitude positive and happy. After they're all done, though, you're still gonna die. So the question, I guess, is what you want your life to be like between now and then, isn't it? |

You gotta drink heavy and smoke good cigars so as to toughen up yer system. You gotta swear, get in fights, and raise hell to stay young. You gotta bust chairs over people's heads and paint the town red to keep yer joints limber. You gotta go out with fast dames and drive fast cars. You gotta break some of the rules. I know. I done it all. I still feel young and I got started at this game when Bogart was still a hot feature and movies cost 25 cents or less. I can't figure why Bogart got old, come to think of it, cos he was basically pretty much on the right track. Bacall too. Geez. Maybe humans just ain't made tough enough. It helps to be a mean bastard too. Most of the really mean bastards I've ever known just seem to go on forever if they don't happen to die by violence... |

02 May 08 - 09:10 PM (#2331681) Subject: RE: Why do we age is there anything we c From: JohnInKansas Studies have shown that the best way to assure a good probability of a long and healthy life is to have parents whose grandparents are still alive and healthy at your birth. Several genetic markers have been found that appear to produce a tendency toward more rapid aging. One or two markers have been found that appear to do the opposite, retarding the aging process up to a point, but even those fortunate enough to have inherited those "good genes" may have also inherited several of the less wanted kind in the mix. Laboratory tests, primarily with rats, have shown that a very low calorie diet can produce reductions in the rate of aging; but the necessary reductions in food intake are pretty extreme, and easily can lead to inadequate nutrition (which can kill you long before your time). A few well-known "researchers" are attempting to live forever by this method, but we won't know if it really works until they finally die to give us an end-point for the experiment. Extreme starvation - or close to it - seems to be necessary to significantly slow the aging process, but keeping the diet moderate and weight within low-normal range does provide some protection against "bulk-related" ailments such as diabetes and some cardiac burdens in later life. While exposure to infectious agents can do you in at any time, studies have shown that not being exposed to common "diseases" in early childhood can leave you with an undeveloped immune system that makes you very much more susceptible to diseases later in life. Children raised in homes where there are pets (dogs were specifically recommended in a couple of studies) have been found to have a significantly reduced susceptiblity to asthma and related respiratory diseases. A recent study has found evidence for the conclusion that chidren in day-care or "play groups" prior to age 2 to 5 may have a significantly reduced susceptibility to forms of leukemia common in pre-adolescents. (More study required on this last one.) Moderate alcohol intake has been suggested as something that will reduce the likelihood of some kinds of cardiac failures, but there's a fine line between the "dose" that helps the heart, and the dose that destroys the liver. (I've had several friends who went just slightly over the line, and "had" is the operative word.) Enjoying life as you find it actually does seem to help prolong life, although much of the purported "reasearch" published on this aspect of longevity and aging is pure bullshit. Despite the hype, some legitimate research does suggest that there's something of merit in a good attitude; and you'll have a lot more fun if you avoid being overly bitter about the tricks She plays on you.

02 May 08 - 09:44 PM (#2331704) Subject: RE: Why do we age is there anything we c From: bobad "Moderate alcohol intake has been suggested as something that will reduce the likelihood of some kinds of cardiac failures" It appears to have somewhat more benefits than that: From: http://www2.potsdam.edu/hansondj/Controversies/1088441583.html Alcohol reduces heart attacks, ichemic strokes and circulatory problems through a number of identified ways. They include: 1. Improving blood lipid profile by increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol and decreasing LDL ("bad") cholesterol. 2. Decreasing thrombosis (blood clotting) by reducing platelet aggregation, reducing fibrinogen (a blood clotter) and increasing fibrinolysis (the process by which clots dissolve). 3. Other ways such as increasing coronary blood flow, reducing blood pressure, and reducing blood insulin level. The moderate consumption of alcohol appears to be more effective than most other lifestyle changes that are used to lower the risk of heart and other diseases. For example, the average person would need to follow a very strict low-fat diet, exercise vigorously on a regular basis, eliminate salt from the diet, lose a substantial amount of weight, and probably begin medication in order to lower cholesterol by 30 points or blood pressure by 20 points. But medical research suggests that alcohol can have a greater impact on heart disease than even these hard-won reductions in cholesterol levels or blood pressure. Only cessation of smoking is more effective. Additionally, other medical research suggests that adding alcohol to a healthful diet is more effective than just following the diet alone. After reviewing the research on heart diseases and stroke, Dr. David Whitten reported that "we don't have any drugs that are as good as alcohol and noted investigator Dr. Curtis Ellison asserted that "abstinence from alcohol is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease." The moderate consumption of alcohol appears to be beneficial in reducing or preventing even more diseases and health problems including angina pectoris bone fractures and osteoporosis, diabetes, digestive ailments, duodenal ulcer, erectile dysfunction (ED), essential tremors, gallstones, hearing loss, hepatitis A, kidney stones, liver disease, macular degeneration (a major cause of blindness), pancreatic cancer, Parkinson's disease, poor cognition and memory, poor physical condition in elderly, rheumatoid arthritis, stress and depression, and type B gastritis. It's not surprising that the science-based Harvard Healthy Eating Pyramid recommends the regular moderate consumption of alcohol (beer, wine, or spirits) unless contraindicated. It's clear that the moderate consumption of alcohol improves health and increases longevity. |

03 May 08 - 04:50 AM (#2331842) Subject: RE: Why do we age-is there anything we can do about it From: Jeanie It rather depends on what you mean by "ageing" and being "old". I have come across perfectly healthy people who have become so preoccupied with their fear of death - premature or otherwise - that much of their time is spent thinking and talking about cholesterol, blood pressure, aches, exercise, etc., etc., to the exclusion of pretty much everything else. Boy, oh, boy, are these people self-centered, boring and *OLD* (no matter what their chronological age may be) ! Living ceases to be an exciting and enjoyable process for them. Lively, positive people tend to avoid their company and they end up leading isolated lives or keeping company only with other people just like themselves, in a downward spiral. All this negativity may lead to their actually *becoming* ill and to premature ageing. Then there are people who are the opposite (again, no matter what their chronological age). The other day, I was watching on You Tube a couple of interviews that Michael Parkinson had with that great (and then chronologically old) actress Edith Evans. She's well worth watching. I don't suppose for one moment that that lady ever gave a thought to how "old" she was. For me, she's an example of how having your own inner spirit (the "real" you, if you like) to the fore throughout your life makes physical or negative or chronological constraints pale into insignificance. That lady never grew old. Here's one of her pieces of advice: "Don't worry. Just do your best. That's all you can do. If you do your best, good things will come." When I don't grow old, I want to be like Edith Evans ! - jeanie |

08 May 08 - 07:12 AM (#2335603) Subject: RE: Why do we age-is there anything we can do abou From: GUEST,PMB The way I see it, it's pretty obvious. We have evolved to last long enough to reproduce and set up the next generation in working order. For some animals, like salmon, that's as soon as the eggs are laid. In some spiders the males don't even last beyond the mating. For us, it's long enough to supply the brats with the information to get going. So anything beyond when the kids hit 20 or so is superfluous from a genetic point of view. Our genes aren't designed (by selection) to keep us healthy thereafter. Because we have also developed memetic transmission, there are some advantages in longer life, but these haven't had time or selective pressure to translate back into genes yet- and in any case, the memetic value might be greater if transmitted by an obviously older person. As far as the ecosystem is concerned, once we've done our job, the sooner the carbon is recycled the better. So we're Breaking the Rules by being here at all. Hands up all those who like breaking rules! |
