In an effort to understand this better a pioneering study was carried out in the mammalian system using the mouse model. Research led by David Sinclair and Jos Baur of the Harvard medical school and Raphael de Cabo, of the National Institute of Ageing, studied the effect of Resveratrol on the motor skills of mice. They analyzed the efficacy with which the mice could balance and walk along a rotating rod before they fell off. Resveratrol- fed mice did a much better job as they grew older and demonstrated excellent endurance. The subjects of the study were middle-aged rodents that were segregated into 3 groups fed on three different diets – 1. A-Standard 2. B-High- calorie, high-fat diet 3. C-High-calorie, high-fat diet with Resveratrol As expected, the group B mice developed undesirable conditions like obesity, inflammation of the heart muscles and a diabetes-like condition. These mice also met with an untimely death. However the group C mice, that were fed with Resveratrol demonstrated the following:

Posted on: 11/25/2009 Dear Sir, For the ageing problem to be slow we require the basic natural necessities i.e., clean air, clean water and clean environment. None of the above is present now anywhere in the world except perhaps in Amazon forest and congo forest. There also human beings have gone and slowly spoiling it. So called scientists take quantity x from nature and give back only x-1,2... In Hindu philosophy it is called Yuga characteristics. Nothing can be done except crying from rooftops to stop pollution. IT IS A PITY. HS NARAYANAN

Posted on: 09/30/2008 Dear Sir,
Article is excellent. I will be very thankful.
Food restriction is the process which most probably will limit the load of OXYRADICALS in the system thereby postponing the Age Related changes. Please send me the references so that the issue of FOOD RESTRICTION and how it works can be cleared.
Thanks

Posted on: 02/19/2007 I sometimes wonder what is the so called "good" or "bad" in terms of diet.The dietary recommendations keep changing on a day to day basis. I suppose the good old practice of our ancestors to eat timely meals prepared from chemical free ingredients should do the trick. |
