Aging begins before we are born, is a lifelong process and continues throughout life. Throughout the life course, differing life experiences influence our capabilities and well-being in our later years. The functional capacity of our biological systems increases during the first years of life, reaches its peak in early adult-hood and naturally declines thereafter. Throughout most countries (but not all), persons experience a long childhood and a long old age. These two lengthy developmental spans have provided great utility. Throughout history, it has enabled older persons to educate the younger and pass on values to them. (more…)

Not all body fat is equally bad for your health. It is widely known that body fat distribution is extremely important. There is increasing evidence for the deleterious effects of Visceral Fat on aging. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is an epidemiological tool that demonstrates a correlation between Visceral Fat and development of diabetes mellitus, stroke, coronary artery disease, and mortality. This ratio is easily determined by dividing the measurement of waist circumference by hip circumference. (more…)

Common beliefs about older workers include beliefs that they are physically unable to do their job; have a high rate of absenteeism; have a high rate of accidents; are less productive, less motivated, and less receptive to innovations than younger people; and are unable to learn. While these are rather commonly held beliefs, there are few actual data to support these assumptions; in fact, most research studies indicate that these stereotypes are inaccurate. (more…)

There are several important changes in pharmacokinetics metabolism associated with aging that predispose the elderly to increased risk of druginduced side effects including cardiac arrhythmia.

First, advanced age is accompanied by a decrease in overall body weight, total body water, lean body mass, and intravascular volume, resulting in a greater volume of distribution (V d ), which is defined by the drug dose divided by drug plasma concentration (V d = dose/concentration). The reduced distribution volume will, therefore, lead to a higher drug concentration after a given dose in the elderly compared to the younger population. (more…)

There are many options of foods and supplements that we can choose to slow the aging process. Not only it helps maintain our youthful look, it helps us live a life of quality, as we advance in life. Many of aging problems is associated with oxidants that we found in our daily lives. Some oxidants substances are know for their ability to accelerate the aging process. Many of them can be derived from food and dietary anti aging supplements. The important point is we can do much to help slow the pace and intensity of aging process. (more…)

Doctors frequently have the patients need their dietary advice. As a doctor, I ‘ve talked to many patients over the huge amount of information about what that keep them fit & healthy, keep their body lean, and what it takes to remains young. In addition, I like to share the latest news on healthy diet often changes from year to year and even from month to month. (more…)

Being in good health is hard enough to come by at any age, but it becomes more difficult to maintain during the later years when people have fewer physical reserves upon which to call and the body takes longer to recuperate from an illness. Modern medical science can do much, however, to improve many poor health situations (more…)

Paul Baltes and his colleagues at the Max Planck Institute for Neurological Research in Berlin further supported the value of education. They examined compensatory strategies people employ as they grow older. The Berlin group distinguished between two types of mental activity:

(1) the biologically shaped hardware of the mind, which operates the speed and accuracy of memory, sensory input, ability to make distinctions and comparisons, and ability to put things into categories (also termed cognitive mechanics), and (more…)

There are new strategies to address the 3 critical factors for body health: blood sugar, insulin and inflammation. These formula guarantees that we will not get obese and be lean for life. Inflammation and obesity has relation that can be describing when we eat foods, it immediately causes high of blood sugar to drop, but then again it creates higher levels of the hormone insulin, which causes inflammation.
