Eat Less, Live MORE

A recenty study affirms the idea that low calorie diets will allow all living organisms to live longer

Researchers report in the journal Cell that the phenom is likely linked to two enzymes—SIRT3 and SIRT4—in mitochondria (the cell's powerhouse that, among other tasks, converts nutrients to energy). They found that a cascade of reactions triggered by lower caloric intake raises the levels of these enzymes, leading to an increase in the strength and efficiency of the cellular batteries. By invigorating the mitochondria, SIRT3 and SIRT4 extend the life of cells, by preventing flagging mitochondria from developing tiny holes (or pores) in their membranes that allow proteins that trigger apoptosis, or cell death, to seep out into the rest of the cell

The researchers determined from cultures of human embryonic kidney cells that lower caloric intake sends a signal that activates a gene inside cells that codes for the enzyme NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase). The two- to four-fold surge in NAMPT in turn triggers the production of a molecule called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), which plays a key role in cellular metabolism and signaling.

The uptick in NAD levels activates the SIRT3 and SIRT4 genes, increasing levels of their corresponding SIRT3 and SIRT4 enzymes, which then flood the interior of the mitochondria. Sinclair says he's not sure exactly how SIRT3 and SIRT4 beef up the mitochondria's energy output, but that events leading to cell death are at the very least delayed when there are vast quantities of the enzymes.

L.A. County of Public Health Quarantine Notification

The instructor was representing the LA County Department of Pubic Health, Emergency Preparedness and Response-Pandemic Influenza Unit. She told the group it is a matter of when "not" if there will be a pandemic and that the State of CA. has plans to shut down school and businesses, at that time.

"Travel could be restricted; essential government services-including sanitation, water, power and social services--could be interrupted. The food supply could be effected, and public gatherings, including worship services, might have to be canceled" also.

Public health officials project a cumulative absenteeism rate of 25-30% over three to four months during a pandemic flu outbreak. This could disrupt or even shut down your operations...... from a pamphlet, "Its Not Flu as Usual".

The pamphlet is targeting businesses and churches to pass the word to their employees and parishioners so that more will be prepared.

Also distributed at the conference was a DVD from the Channing Beta Company entitled, "Pandemic Flu; How to Protect Yourself and Family" and a flyer from the Red Cross, "Home Care for Pandemic Flu". Please view/read from below:

Cancer and chip implants

2007-09-11T17:03:00.000-07:00

There has been massive amounts of fanfare regarding implants and what they could mean for the human race. Some speculate it means the biblical end of the world...and many states are contending with the idea of how to deal with the issue.

But this month, something remarkable has broke the news that probably will challenge the future of what many are already doing to their pets... These implants seem to cause cancer.

Verichip implants seem to be causing more issues then correcting problems.

When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved implanting microchips in humans, the manufacturer said it would save lives, letting doctors scan the tiny transponders to access patients' medical records almost instantly. The FDA found "reasonable assurance" the device was safe, and a sub-agency even called it one of 2005's top "innovative technologies."

But neither the company nor the regulators publicly mentioned this: A series of veterinary and toxicology studies, dating to the mid-1990s, stated that chip implants had "induced" malignant tumors in some lab mice and rats.

It is probably safe to say that the public backlash against this news will probably stifle the progress of this companies ability to offer these to the public.

What is Healthy Prosperity?

I suppose we all have an idea or opinion of what is healthy living and prosperity. For me, its just starting to apply simple healthy habits to our lifestyle, doing a little more and eating a little less. What does healthy prosperity mean to you?
