Biological Age vs Chronological Age: Why It Matters For Your Bones And Your Health
…your bones, of course), regardless of your chronological age. How To Stay Biologically Young Fortunately for Savers, the tools to keep your biological age advancing at a slower rate than your chronological age are already at your disposal. I have written at length about ways to improve your diet, sleep better, and live your life more fully. Now let’s have a look at two studies that help explain how certain common-sense lifestyle changes can impro…

Confirmed By Study: Grip Strength Predicts Biological Age
…e our chronological age is simply the number of days we’ve been alive, our biological age measures the rate at which our body is aging. In this way, your biological age could be older or younger than your chronological age. People with biological ages that are older than their chronological age are at higher risk for developing age-related diseases earlier in life.1 This study observed that participants with low grip strength had older biological…

All About Your Biological Clock, Your Bone Health, And Overall Health – Is There A Connection?
…balanced internal clock. Time Matters: The Circadian Rhythm Explained The biological clock has been studied for hundreds of years. In 1729, French astronomer Jean Jacques d’Ortuous de Mairan observed the opening and closing of plants in response to what appeared to be the sunlight. De Mairan placed the plants in constant darkness and noted that the opening and closing of the leaves continued despite the lack of sun. He concluded that there must b…

Recently Discovered: 3 Surprising Biological Processes That Require Calcium And Impact Your Bones
…cium is found in bone. But science reveals some astonishing news about the biological roles of the remaining one percent. It’s already known that calcium in the bloodstream is required for blood clotting, stable blood pressure, brain function, and intracellular communication. That’s amazing enough, but now researchers have uncovered three previously unknown functions of calcium that are critical to your health – and your bones. The first discovery…

Reductionism Vs. Holism: What They Mean And Which Is Better For Your Bones And Your Health?
…ection to reductionism. Some Holists observe that we cannot reduce certain biological systems because they are so complex that predicting their behavior is beyond the computational processing power available to us. Others contend that reductionists are so focused on the minutiae of each individual biological system, that they fail to account for the health and functionality of the whole. These holists might employ a favorite idiom to describe redu…

3 Food Nutrients That Prevent Bone Loss By Increasing Production Of Glutathione, The Master Antioxidant
…one, the Master Antioxidant, so called because of the incredible number of biological processes it’s involved in, and because it is the only antioxidant that resides within cells. The key to understanding the role of diet in glutathione production lies in its composition: glutathione is a tripeptide composed of three amino acids: L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid, and glycine. We get these amino acids from the foods we eat, and Savers are surely already…

High Cholesterol And Your Bones: The Surprising Link (Plus 10 Foods That Naturally Lower Your Cholesterol)
…ates Interestingly enough, both statins and bisphosphonates block the same biological pathway, a topic discussed in detail in Chapter 4 of the Osteoporosis Reversal Program: “Like statins…nitrogenous bisphosphonates begin their action on bone metabolism by blocking the enzyme farnesyl diphosphate synthase (FPPS) which is involved in the mevalonate pathway (also called the HMG-CoA reductase pathway).” While statins do not bind to bone surfaces, blo…

This Delicious Recipe Contains 7 Scientifically-Proven Bone-Building Polyphenols (And It’s Ready In Minutes!)
…eoclasts as is the case with osteoporosis drugs; rather, this is a natural biological process of bone remodeling which is a continual interplay between starting and stopping osteoclasts and performing the same start-and-stop process with osteoblasts. 7. Hesperidin Citrus fruits are rich in this polyphenol, which has earned the nickname “Vitamin P.” It is not a vitamin, however; rather, it is an antioxidant that works synergistically with Vitamin C…

Sweet Dreams: How Probiotics Improve Your Sleep and Build Your Bones
…or optimum functioning. This fine-tuning happens when we maintain balanced biological rhythms. Let’s examine how the following compounds — tryptophan, melatonin, serotonin, GABA, and cortisol — affect sleep. Tryptophan Sound sleep begins with the proper production and distribution of tryptophan, an amino acid necessary to synthesize serotonin.2 Tryptophan is also essential for your pineal gland to produce melatonin. The more melatonin circulating…

New Study Proves That Exercise Slows The Cellular Aging Process
…he research is conclusive that exercise halts and even reverses aging, the biological mechanisms behind the process are only beginning to be discovered. What’s more, there is scant research on which type of exercise impacts our bodies at the cellular level. Today we share with you new research that addresses just that. Mayo Clinic scientists have discovered that exercise, and in particular high-intensity interval training (HIIT) applied to aerobic…
