Exercise Keeps Us Healthy and Vigorous

Written by Chuck Guilford

Here's a great summary of the latest studies on how exercise helps roll back the negative effects of aging: "Fit, Not Frail: Exercise as a Tonic for Aging." In addition to stressing the ways that regular exercise helps us to maintain our strength, balance, and flexibility throughout life, the article emphasizes the ability of regular exercise to help prevent many of the chronic diseases often associated with aging. You'll also find advice about how to get started on an exercise program and links to specific exercise activities.

Postponing Retirement

Written by Chuck Guilford

Have you been pushing back your projected retirement date? If so, you're not alone. According to a recent San Francisco Chronicle report, "Comfortable Retirement a Fading Dream for Many," more and more Americans are finding that the recent economic downturn, and associated dips in home valuations and retirement accounts, will require them to continue working well into their late 60s and early 70s.

Red Wine and Age Reversal — Cheers!

Written by Chuck Guilford

The health benefits of an occasional glass of red wine have been pretty well established, and this article indicates that recent studies are identifying the specific compounds in red wine that are responsible for these benefits and linking these compounds to reversal-of-biological-age markers.

Studies with mice have shown that natural compounds such as resveratrol can stimulate the body's survival mechanisms in much the same way as calorie restriction, thus increasing hopes of producing a drug that can rally the human body's resources to tissue maintenance, or longevity.

Older but Wiser?

Written by Chuck Guilford

Maybe the old saying is true. Recent studies mentioned in a New York Times article suggest that those "senior moments" may not be due to failing mental capacity, but rather to a broadening attention span that requires more thought processing as we age.

These findings don't minimize the sometimes negative impacts of aging upon mental capacity, as found in Altzheimer's Disease, for instance, but suggest that the effects of aging upon thinking are often oversimplified and misunderstood.
