Moringa Oleifera: The Perfect Nutrient to Delay The Onset of Aging

Real Absorbable Nutrition Delivers Real Results (note sarcasm)…oh gee, what a concept!

Only Zija, The Moringa Company, Has Real Moringa From All Nutritious Parts Of The Correct Varietal Of The Moringa Tree, And ANYONE Telling You They Have Real Moringa Like Zija Is Lying To You!

You may quote me.

Just the other day, I read of an Asian Billionaire claiming he was launching a new biotech DRUG (meaning enzymatically dead with poor absorption and adverse side effects) that “treats cancer with kinase inhibitors”.

Sounds fancy, Right?

Sound promising, Correct?

Wrong.

Real kinase inhibitors already nutritionally exist NATURALLY in Zija’s moringa, with no adverse side effects, and at the price of FREE, under the Team 250 program.

Beat FREE!

By the way, that is a NUTRITIONAL STATEMENT for anyone thinking differently.

And you have the unmitigated gall to tell me you won’t, or can’t, share real wellness with every living soul you know or meet, while being lucratively compensated to do so?!

SHAME ON YOU!

New review by International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Nutrition Working Group examines role of nutrition in sarcopenia, with focus on protein, vitamins D and B, and acid-based diet.  (Editor’s note:  Moringa is alkaline, rich in Vit B, Vit D and Protein)

Sarcopenia, or the gradual loss of muscle mass, is a common consequence of ageing, and poses a significant risk factor for disability in older adults (Men lose 1% of their testosterone per year past the age of 40). As muscle strength plays an important role in the tendency to fall, sarcopenia leads to an increased risk of fractures and other injuries.

The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) Nutrition Working Group has published a new review which identifies nutritional factors that contribute to loss of muscle mass, or conversely, are beneficial to the maintenance of muscle mass.  The Group reviewed evidence from worldwide studies on the role of nutrition in sarcopenia, specifically looking at protein, acid–base balance, vitamin D/calcium, and other minor nutrients like B vitamins.

“The most obvious intervention against sarcopenia is exercise in the form of resistance training,” said Professor Jean-Philippe Bonjour, co-author and Professor of Medicine at the Service of Bone Diseases, University of Geneva. “However, adequate nutritional intake and an optimal dietary acid-base balance are also very important elements of any strategy to preserve muscle mass and strength during ageing.”

The review discusses and identifies the following important nutritional factors that have been shown to be beneficial to the maintenance of muscle mass and the treatment and prevention of sarcopenia:

  • Protein: Protein intake plays      an integral part in muscle health. The authors propose an intake of      1.0–1.2 g/kg of body weight per day as optimal for skeletal muscle and      bone health in elderly people without severely impaired renal function.
  • Vitamin D:  As many studies      indicate a role for vitamin D in the development and preservation of      muscle mass and function, adequate vitamin D should be ensured through      exposure to sunlight and/or supplementation if required. Vitamin D      supplementation in seniors, and especially in institutionalized elderly,      is recommended for optimal musculoskeletal health.
  • Avoiding dietary acid      loads:      Excess intake of acid-producing nutrients (meat and cereal grains) in      combination with low intake of alkalizing fruits and vegetables may have      negative effects on musculoskeletal health. Modifying the diet to include      more fruits and vegetables is likely to benefit both bones and muscles.

Emerging evidence also suggests that vitamin B12 and/or folic acid play a role in improving muscle function and strength.

As well, the Review discusses non-nutritional interventions such as hormones, and calls for more studies to identify the potential of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds in the prevention of sarcopenia.

Dr. Ambrish Mithal, co-author and Chair and Head of Endocrinology and Diabetes division at Medanta, New Delhi underlined the need for further research in the field.  “Strategies to reduce the numbers of falls and fractures within our ageing populations must include measures to prevent sarcopenia. At present, the available evidence suggests that combining resistance training with optimal nutritional status has a synergistic affect in preventing and treating sarcopenia, “ said Mithal.

“We hope that further studies will shed light on other effective ways of preventing and treating this condition.”

Omega-3 Supplements May Slow A Biological Effect of Aging

In CategoryAging, Nutrition Supplementation
ByRuss Bianchi

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Taking enough omega-3 fatty acid supplements to change the balance of oils in the diet could slow a key biological process linked to aging, new research suggests.

The study showed that most overweight but healthy middle-aged and older adults who took omega-3 supplements for four months altered a ratio of their fatty acid consumption in a way that helped preserve tiny segments of DNA in their white blood cells. EDITOR’S NOTE: CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU CONSUMED A HEALTHY AMOUNT OF PLANT BASED OMEGA 3s ON A DAILY BASIS?

These segments, called telomeres are known to shorten over time in many types of cells as a consequence of aging. In the study, lengthening of telomeres in immune system cells was more prevalent in people who substantially improved the ratio of omega-3s to other fatty acids in their diet.  EDITOR’S NOTE:  OMEGA 3s ARE THE ANTI-INFLAMMATORY FATTY ACID NOW THINK ABOUT THE BENEFIT OF THE OTHER 35 ANTI-INFLAMMATORIES IN MORINGA OLEIFERA

Omega-3 supplementation also reduced oxidative stress, caused by excessive free radicals in the blood, by about 15 percent compared to effects seen in the placebo group.

 

Jan Kiecolt-Glaser

“The telomere finding is provocative in that it suggests the possibility that a nutritional supplement might actually make a difference in aging,” said Jan Kiecolt-Glaser, professor of psychiatry and psychology at Ohio State and lead author of the study.

In another recent publication from this study, Kiecolt-Glaser and colleagues reported that omega-3 fatty acid supplements lowered inflammation in this same group of adults.EDITOR’S NOTE: SEE COMMENT ABOVE

“Inflammation in particular is at the heart of so many health problems. Anything that reduces inflammation has a lot of potentially good spinoffs among older adults,” she said.

Study participants took either 2.5 grams or 1.25 grams of active omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are considered “good fats” that, when consumed in proper quantities, are associated with a variety of health benefits. Participants on the placebo took pills containing a mix of oils representing a typical American’s daily intake. EDITOR’S NOTE: THE PROPER RATIO IS SUPPOSED TO BE OMEGA 6:OMEGA 3, 2:1, BUT THE TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET IS AROUND 18:1)

The researchers say this combination of effects suggests that omega-3 supplements could represent a rare single nutritional intervention that has potential to lower the risk for a host of diseases associated with aging, such as coronary heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, arthritis and Alzheimer’s disease.

 

Martha Belury

The study is published online and scheduled for later print publication in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity.

Participants received either the placebo or one of the two different doses of omega-3 fatty acids. The supplements were calibrated to contain a ratio of the two cold-water fish oil fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), of seven to one. Previous research has suggested that EPA has more anti-inflammatory properties than DHA.

In the case of fatty acids, omega-3 supplementation alone doesn’t tell the whole story of how this dietary change can affect health, explained Martha Belury, professor of human nutrition at Ohio State and a co-author of the study. Also important is the ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids that are present in a person’s blood.

Omega-6 fatty acids come from vegetable oils, and since the 1960s, research has suggested that these oils, too, can help protect the cardiovascular system. However, the typical American diet tends to be heavy on omega-6 fatty acids and comparatively low in omega-3s that are naturally found in cold-water fish such as salmon and tuna. While the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids averages about 15-to-1, researchers tend to agree that for maximum benefit, this ratio should be lowered to 4-to-1, or even 2-to-1.

 

Ron Glaser

The long chains – or bigger molecules – that make up EPA and DHA fatty acids are believed to be the secret to their effectiveness, Belury said.

Both groups of participants who took omega-3 supplements showed, on average, lengthening of telomeres compared to overall telomere effects in the placebo group, but the relationship could have been attributed to chance. However, when the researchers analyzed the participants’ omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in relationship to telomere lengthening, a lower ratio was clearly associated with lengthened telomeres.

“The idea we were looking at with the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids was an increase in the denominator to make the ratio smaller. In the United States, we need to focus on the omega-3 part because we don’t get enough of those,” Belury said.

The researchers also measured levels of compounds called F2-isoprostanes to determine levels of oxidative stress, which is linked to a number of conditions that include heart disease and neurodegenerative disorders. Both omega-3 groups together showed an average overall 15 percent reduction in oxidative stress compared to effects seen in the placebo group. EDITOR’S NOTE:  THE PICTURE OF WHY WE SEE SO MANY EMPIRICAL BENEFITS FROM PEOPLE WHO TAKE MORINGA OLEIFERA DAILY SHOULD BE STARTING TO GET CLEARER.

When the scientists revisited their earlier inflammation findings, they also found that decreases in an inflammatory marker in the blood called interleukin-6 (IL-6) were associated with telomere lengthening. In their earlier paper on omega-3s and inflammation, they reported that omega-3 supplements lowered IL-6 by 10 to 12 percent, depending on the dose. By comparison, those taking a placebo saw an overall 36 percent increase in IL-6 by the end of the study.

“This finding strongly suggests that inflammation is what’s driving the changes in the telomeres,” Kiecolt-Glaser said. Telomeres are a hot topic in science, and their tendency to shorten is associated with such age-related problems as heart disease and early mortality. These short fragments of DNA act as caps at the end of chromosomes, and can be likened to the protective plastic at the end of a shoelace. EDITOR’S NOTE: TAKE MORINGA OLEIFERA DAILY LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER!!!!!!

“If that plastic comes off, the shoelace unravels and it doesn’t work anymore,” said study co-author Ron Glaser, professor of molecular virology, immunology and medical genetics and director of the Institute for Behavioral Medicine Research (IBMR) at Ohio State. “In the same way, every time a cell divides, it loses a little bit of its DNA at the ends, and over time, that can cause significant problems.”  EDITOR’S NOTE: TAKE MORINGA OLEIFERA DAILY LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER!!!!!!

Kiecolt-Glaser noted that this population was disease-free and reported very little stress. The study included 106 adults, average age 51 years, who were either overweight or obese and lived sedentary lives. The researchers excluded people taking medications to control mood, cholesterol and blood pressure as well as vegetarians, patients with diabetes, smokers, those routinely taking fish oil, people who got more than two hours of vigorous exercise each week and those whose body mass index was either below 22.5 or above 40.

“People who are less healthy than this group, and especially those who experience chronic stress, may gain even more benefits from omega-3 supplementation,” she said.  EDITOR’S NOTE: TAKE MORINGA OLEIFERA DAILY LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER!!!!!!

Co-authors of the study include Elissa Epel, Jue Lin and Elizabeth Blackburn of the University of California, San Francisco; Rebecca Andridge and Beom Seuk Hwang of Ohio State’s College of Public Health; and William Malarkey of the IBMR.

Fuel for this car was sold in drug stores only. 

Only 14 percent of the homes had a bathtub.

Only 8 percent of the homes had a telephone.

There were only 8,000 cars and only 144 miles of paved roads.

Why would you use ANY BOVINE TOXIN to permanently destroy your skin and flesh, at great expense, with the constant need to reuse, plus the chance of SEVERE adverse side effects, and including massive infections and DEATH, when you can use SAFE and LOW cost Gen M, for pennies on the dollar?!

Patients can decrease the frequency of Botox© Cosmetic injections after approximately two years and still receive most of the same wrinkle-smoothing cosmetic benefits, according to new research at Oregon Health & Science University. “After two years of treatment at recommended intervals, patients can potentially cut the frequency, and thus the cost, of their Botox© treatments by half,” said Roger A. Dailey, M.D., F.A.C.S., professor and Lester Jones Endowed Chair of oculofacial plastic surgery in the OHSU School of Medicine. The results of Dailey’s work were presented at a meeting of American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon on April 24 in Washington, D.C. The research was sponsored by an unrestricted educational grant from Allergen, Inc., the maker of Botox© Cosmetic.

ScienceDaily (Apr. 19, 2010) — Facelifts and other wrinkle-reducing procedures have long been sought by people wanting to ward off the signs of aging, but new research suggests that it takes more than tightening loose skin to restore a youthful look. A study by physicians at the University of Rochester Medical Center indicates that significant changes in facial bones — particularly the jaw bone — occur as people age and contribute to an aging appearance.
