Guest guest Posted September 4, 2001 Report Share Posted September 4, 2001 Hi all, Just saw this: even short term CR in older mice gives huge benefits! squeek, MM Reuters | SPACE.com | AP Monday September 3 5:08 PM ET Lean Diet Quickly Helps Old Mice, Maybe Humans Too WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Elderly mice put on a low-calorie regime for even short periods saw anti-aging effects that researchers say suggests older humans could quickly reap the benefits of such diets. In a study published Monday, the researchers from the University of California, Riverside, said the results also held promise for the rapid screening of drugs and treatments that might mimic the effects of a low-calorie diet. Spindler from the university's biochemistry department said the belief that restricting caloric intake extends life and health is backed up by research. ``This is the first clear indication these low-calorie diets rather rapidly switch the physiology of the animal toward a healthier state,'' he told Reuters. Spindler said human anti-aging studies might now be possible if the effects could be observed relatively quickly as suggested by the mouse study. In a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (news - web sites), the researchers said they put young and old mice on short- and long-term low-calorie diets and observed detailed changes in the genes of their liver cells. Caloric restriction reversed the changes in several genes that were altered in aging animals. Furthermore, 70 percent of the anti-aging effects of long-term caloric restriction also occurred in old mice put on a short-term low-calorie diet. But Spindler cautioned people against thinking they could eat all they want before cutting back in their latter years, saying it was like quitting smoking later in life. An old mouse on a low-calorie diet lived longer but not as long as one that started on the diet early in its life. ``The bad news is, the longer you wait the less time there is for the positive benefits to influence your aging,'' said Spindler. _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Hi , I'm also curious about this, esp since I've had a serious love affair with chewing on ice cubes over the last few years... I had heard that is a symptom of iron deficiency which I also had... Both the iron deficiency and the ice cravings have improved alot with a year and a half or so of following a pretty strict program (thanks to all here who've helped!). So, are you suggesting we should avoid cold food to control candida?

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 Only 1 small small measure in the overall picture,like turning off extra lights when your not in the room,saves some cents. Traditional people did not have ice. If your ethic background includes ice-munching ancestors then eat up, but even they knew not to eat snow in cold weather. Ice is a modern convienvence. An innoculant preservative, but still a preservative.(In a radical sense. ) Sincerely C Re: Re: crispy nuts in almond milk Hi . Where did you read that candida craves cold things?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Thanks Len. That was the opposite of what I thought. Cutting back on the sugar will be better for me anyway.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Hey Annette & Group: I have missed seeing your posts, as always & you are in my prayers, but I will be saying Xtra special ones at this time. Regarding the CML & Heredity, I believe our 'gene pool' plays a very important part; as cancer will 'run in a family'. In addition relatives also maintain similar diet and overall lifestyle predisposing us to the same illnesses and diseases. As a teenager when questioned about associates, my cousin would always remark 'I can pick and choose my friends, but I'm stuck with you guys. " K " " I AIN'T FINISHED YET " !!!
