Meat and two neutrons -- the key to a longer life

Eating meat enhanced with isotopes could add as much as 10 years to your life. Scientists have shown for the first time that food enriched with natural isotopes builds bodily components that are more resistant to the processes of aging. The concept has been demonstrated in worms and researchers hope that the same concept can help extend human life and reduce the risk of cancer and other diseases of ageing.

1. Key to longer life (in flies) lies in just 14 brain cells
   09-20-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Fruit flies live significantly longer when the activity of the protein p53 is reduced in just 14 insulin-producing cells in their brains, new Brown University research shows. The results put scientists one step closer to understanding caloric restriction, a biochemical process proven to slow aging. Results appear in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

   12-19-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers at the Food Technology Plant Special Research Centre (CeRPTA) have for the first time developed a completely gluten-free bread that is of a much higher quality than products currently available for coeliacs. The product was 100 percent successful in the tests carried out. The resulting product has an increased nutritional value, a longer useful life and a similar texture to traditional bread.

7. Longer term breast feeding protects mother from risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis
   06-15-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Breast feeding for a period of 13 months or more has been shown to reduce the mother's the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, according to new data presented today at EULAR 2007, the Annual European Congress of Rheumatology in Barcelona, Spain. In the study, the longer the breast feeding period, the lower the mother's risk of developing RA in later life. Comparable use of oral contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy did not show a significant effect on the risk of developing RA.

   10-02-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study in the October issue of Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press, reveals that worms live to an older age when they are unable to process the simple sugar glucose. Glucose is a primary source of energy for the body, and can be found in all major dietary carbohydrates as a component of starches and other forms of sugar, including sucrose and lactose.

9. Using fMRI to study brain development
   11-30-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Using fMRI to study early brain development requires learning more about the fMRI signal in the developing brain. MIT neuroscientists studying rats found the signal changes during first few weeks of life in relation to actual brain activity. Correcting for those changes, the researchers could monitor the development of the rat brain. The findings also identified a key player in the age-related changes in neurovascular coupling that gives rise to the BOLD signal.
