Description : In Say NO to Aging, physicians T. Barry and Arlene B. Levine answer the urgent question: How can we slow and reverse aging's relentless advance? Using stories and examples, the authors guide us through our bodies at the cellular level, showing how lifestyle choices affect the biochemistry of disease and aging. Mitochondria, telomeres, longevity genes, adult stem cells, and cell protection mechanisms keep us healthy for many decades, but they are not infinitely renewable. Say NO to Aging explains how the diseases of aging set in.Say NO to Aging introduces readers to nitric oxide (NO) – a tiny, but immensely important molecule that replenishes our non-renewable life resources and rejuvenates the blood vessels, heart, metabolism, and brain. We can delay aging with easy, yet powerful, lifestyle changes. Drs. Levine provide detailed recommendations on food choices, diets, exercise, and stress reduction practices. They explain how these changes slow the aging process-and protect us against many chronic and lethal diseases, including heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. The authors show how modern science has incorporated ancient wisdom that first posited an active life lived in harmony and moderation is the healthiest possible choice that says NO to aging....

Description : This book discusses both the beneficial and harmful aspects of NO in biology and medicine, and also introduces the emerging discovery of artemisinin in antitumor, antibacterial infection, anti-inflammation, and antiaging contexts. In 1992 nitric oxide (NO) was voted “Molecule of the Year” by Science magazine, and the discovery of its physiological roles has led to Nobel Prize-winning work in neuroscience, physiology and immunology. The book explains why we should maintain a steady-state NO level that is derived from neuronal or epithelial NO synthase, and avoid the extremely high NO level resulting from inducible NO synthase. The book offers a valuable resource for medical chemists, clinicians, biologists and all those interested in health and disease....

Description : Physicians, scientists and savvy laypeople want reliable information on foods and supplements which might improve the outcome in chronic diseases that otherwise shorten our lives. These health conditions include type 2 diabetes, heart attacks, high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease and others. Incorporating flaxseed into one's diet can greatly improve outcomes in various health conditions. Thousands of peer-reviewed articles have been published documenting the clinical efficacy of flaxseed as a whole or its individual components and reveal the mechanisms by which those various components work. Flaxseed: Evidence-Based Cardiovascular and Other Medicinal Benefits is an encyclopedic and definitive text describing the health benefits of this humble plant. The book features exquisite detail on the three major components of the plant that are responsible for most of the documented benefits, those components being omega-3 fatty acids and two compounds that increase endothelial production of nitric oxide, those compounds being the amino acid L-arginine, and cyanogenic glycosides. Attention Readers: If you are not already familiar with the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and of the above-named nitric oxide donors, then this book opens a vast world of scientific discovery that one can immediately apply to improving health. This book calls attention to a wealth of journal articles providing practical information on consuming flaxseed and its overall health benefits. Enjoy!...

Description : Eighty-one million Americans have cardiovascular disease, the arterial damage that leads to the heart attacks and strokes that account for 36 percent of all deaths in the U.S. But few people know that boosting the body's levels of a single molecule of nitric oxide can help prevent, control, and even reverse cardiovascular disease....

Description : This book describes the role of nitric oxide in health and disease. Nitric oxide is one of the most important molecules produced by humans and is considered the "Holy Grail" in cardiovascular medicine. Loss of nitric oxide production is what leads to chronic disease. Without healthy NO (Nitric Oxide) levels you cannot be healthy and prevent the diseases of aging. Nitric oxide is the secret to anti-aging. This book reveals the latest scientific and medical information so that readers can understand the importance of nitric oxide for optimal health. This eye-opening book teaches how the body makes NO, what goes wrong in people that can't make NO, and perhaps most importantly, how to restore production of this "miracle molecule."...

Description : Recent research findings on the impact of nutrition on telomere length is unlocking the potential to combat premature aging at the cellular level. We have learned that while aging is a natural cellular process, premature aging is not and it can be positively impacted by an Evidence-Based Proactive Nutrition to Slow Cellular Aging diet plan. This book examines key elements of the biology of cell aging and focuses on enhancing mitochondrial function and preventing abnormal cell turnover thus preserving telomere length. It details the cellular damage caused by free radicals and ROS, explains the salutary effects of antioxidants, and the body’s need for adequate nitrates and other nutrient substrates from which the body derives nitric oxide (NO) to support cardiovascular health. This book is the first to feature a simple do-it-yourself test of the effects of the diet on the availability of NO for - heart health. The book guides the reader through the rationale for a modified Mediterranean style diet that supplies the body with an adequate daily intake of essential nutrients, simple high antioxidants, and other functional foods. It includes simple, easy to prepare appealing recipes promoting a seamless transition to a healthy, age-defying lifestyle....
