Physicians Believe That Living To 100 Years Old Is Not Difficult

Yes, you read that title correctly! Doctors today believe it is not hard for a person to live up to one hundred years of age or more. That sounds perfectly splendid but what about the quality of that life at one hundred years. These physicians say it is achievable to live this long and at the same time under constant threat of age related illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease etc. They say it is all a result of modern medicine and a new philosophy amongst healthcare professionals. These modern physicians are concentrating on the aggressive treatment of the geriatric set and their health issues. This is instead of having an attitude of an ageist and assuming they would not benefit from a particular treatment.

All that being nice and everything, I still would like certain guarantees before I risk a prolonged life full of complicated health troubles and mega doses of prescription medicine where a computer is required to keep track of my meds. Living a short life with abundant health difficulties would be more acceptable to most people than living a longer life with those same troubling health problems. I would personally be at the front of the line if they knew for sure my life would be extended along with my health and vivacity

Why Would Anyone Want To Settle For Less?

When that day arrives when humankind thinks we are able to have the cake and eat it too, will likely be the day when we will all be living lengthy lives, reaching one hundred fifty to two hundred years old. Of course, there is no accounting for wars, plagues or major trauma as we progress in age. Imagine watching people participate in activities such as waterskiing and tennis at the age of ninety! The common thought would be this is an image that is quite improbable. That would be because humans have never known it to be any other way.

It is difficult to change this kind of societal preconditioned thinking. Our collective vision of an eighty or ninety year old is someone nodding off in a comfy chair inside a nursing home. These folks are presumably well cared for in these places and that is the comfortable status quo, why change it. One would hope they are also living comfortably at that age and are not in any distress. Even the centenarians among them are certainly not playing tennis! Ask any of them if they want to live another twenty years and they would likely tell you only if health comes with it.

Perceptions Need To Be Adjusted

These days old age does not equate automatically with ill health, not with HGH in the picture. The human growth hormone has cleared some new pathways with regards to human aging and health that were previously nonexistent. The elderly do not have to be sequestered in their closed little worlds any longer, keeping away from all of life’s stressors. Being monitored twenty four/ seven for the first sign of failing, so they have some hope of reaching age one hundred will soon be a thing of the past. It may be possible to do all those things you did when you were thirty or forty, at the age of one hundred due to HGH and its enormous potential. There are also other anti aging therapies that hold great promise and make achieving the century mark in great shape possible.

It will not be long until the current retirement age will need to undergo a revision, maybe in twenty or so years. This benchmark age will be moved forward not backwards. There are already signs of people working longer either out of necessity or out of boredom. Either way they need optimal health to do it so this clearly shows which way the momentum is focused. Many people reaching their senior years are already taking anti aging supplements of some type and some of those are using HGH in particular.

One can only imagine what a retirement age of one hundred would be like rather than the current fifty five or sixty five years. This is not as silly as it sounds at first. Not when you understand that people are beginning to live longer life spans with greater life quality attached than those before them did. You can be certain that HGH along with other new anti aging formulas will play a large role in this forthcoming centenarian insurrection.

The baby boomer generation will be leading this charge into the future. The generation “that had it all” will want even more and that includes having the good health, money and most important – the added time to enjoy it all with.

SOY THE NEW CHOLESTEROL DIET

The New Low-Cholesterol Diet: Soy
Versatile soy protein may lower bad fats floating in your bloodstream.

Cholesterol-soy-protein

Soy protein can be a meal, a side dish, a snack, or a drink. Made
from the soybean, it's a staple of Asian diets. Yet it's largely been
the butt of jokes about hippies and vegans -- until recently. Today,
the buzz about soy is serious. Can it lower cholesterol naturally?

Some studies say yes. But, unfortunately, research shows mixed
results. We may not know the answer for years.

How Might Soy Protein Help?

A number of studies over the past decade seemed to show soy
protein could lower "bad" LDL cholesterol and triglycerides without
lowering "good" HDL cholesterol. Researchers aren't exactly sure how
soy protein might help. It could be a combination of the effect of the
protein and natural chemicals in soy called isoflavones. But in January
2006, the American Heart Association announced some surprising
news. A review of 22 clinical studies concluded that eating soy-based
foods has only minimal impact on cholesterol and other heart-disease
risk factors.

Until further research clears up the controversy, should you dump soy
from your diet? Not at all, says Tufts University nutrition researcher
Alice Lichtenstein, DSc, who helped write the AHA statement. "Soy
is a great food. It is low in saturated fat and it is a good-quality
protein," she says -- even if its heart benefits are less than
expected.

Conflicting Evidence on Soy

There have been many studies of the effects of soy on cholesterol.
One major article published in TheNew England Journal of Medicine
found that replacing animal protein with soy protein could lower levels
of total cholesterol, bad LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. At the
same time, it didn't significantly lower levels of "good" HDL
cholesterol.

Some studies have shown that soy protein, when eaten along with
other cholesterol-lowering foods, can have a big effect. In a study
published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2005,
researchers tested cholesterol-lowering drugs against cholesterol-
lowering foods in a group of 34 adults with high cholesterol. People
ate 50 grams of soy protein daily along with other cholesterol-
lowering foods. The results were striking: the diet lowered cholesterol
levels about as well as cholesterol drugs.

However, not all studies agree. An analysis of various studies led by
the U.S. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality found that soy
had a modest effect on cholesterol levels. Researchers found that
eating a high amount of soy -- equal to about a pound of tofu a day
-- only added up to a 3% reduction in "bad" cholesterol levels.
Based on those more recent studies, the AHA Nutrition Committee no
longer recommends eating soy specifically to lower cholesterol.
However, the AHA does consider soy burgers and other soy foods a
healthy replacement for high-fat meats
There are almost endless ways of getting soy into your meal plan.
Here's a rundown of some of your options.
* Tofu is a solid extract of soybeans. "It has a mild, bean-like
flavor," says Ruth Frechman, RD, a spokeswoman for the American
Dietetic Association (ADA.) "It can be added to anything you cook or
It can be eaten right out of the package." Tofu is often used in stir
-fries, curries, or stews. It tends to pick up the flavor of the sauce
it's in.
* Soy nuts are roasted soybeans, which can make a tasty snack.
"Soy nuts are a convenient, crunchy source of protein," Frechman
tells WebMD.
* Soymilk is made from ground soybeans mixed with water. You
can substitute soymilk for milk in your coffee or your cereal. Or you
can just drink it on its own. "A lot of my clients really like smoothies
made with soy milk," says ADA spokeswoman Suzanne Farrell, MS,

RD. "That's a great way to get soy into your diet."
* Soy burgers, soy cheese, and other products now fill the
freezers and refrigerators at your local supermarket. Manufacturers
have come up with soy products that mimic just about every kind of
meat and dairy product. Buy a few different types and give them a
try.

* Edamame are soybeans still in the pod. They're sold either
frozen or fresh. Frechman recommends microwaving frozen edamame
in a little water and chicken bouillon for an easy way to get soy
protein.

* Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake. It can be used as a meat
substitute, and works well in spaghetti sauce.

* Miso is a paste made from soybeans that is used for soup
stocks or as a seasoning.

* Soy flour is a powder made from ground, roasted soybeans. It
can be added to baked goods.

Choose the foods that you like. The key is to substitute soy for
high-fat meats, such as hamburger.

LAZARUS SYNDROME

Man comes back to life half an hour after dying-->
Fri, Jun 12 04:20 PM
London, June 12 (ANI): In a rare example of a phenomenon known as Lazarus Syndrome, a 23-year-old man came back to life 30 minutes after doctors pronounced him dead.
ctors at the Royal Preston Hospital declared Michael Wilkinson dead on February 1.
However, half an hour later, doctors realised that his pulse had returned, reports the Telegraph.
Wilkinson survived for two days before being pronounced dead a second time.
An inquest heard that his return to life was known as Lazarus syndrome - the spontaneous return of circulation after attempts to resuscitate fail.
There have only ever been 38 cases recorded worldwide.
The syndrome takes its name from the biblical story of Lazarus, who was raised from the dead by Jesus.
John Whittaker, a consultant at the Royal Preston's accident and emergency department, said it was "not a small thing" to pronounce a patient dead. "You make absolutely certain," he added.
Wilkinson had collapsed after an evening in which he had enjoyed a number of drinks with his family.
However, tests showed that alcohol played no part in the incident.
A post mortem conducted at the Royal Blackburn Hospital found that he had an undiagnosed heart condition in which his left ventricle had become abnormally thickened. (ANI)
