Anti-Aging: Exercise Unlocks Stem Cells in Muscles


Exercise Unlocks Stem Cells in Muscles

Exercise Unlocks Stem Cells in Muscles
The combination of aging and a sedentary lifestyle significantly contributes to the development of diseases such as osteoporosis, obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, as well as a decline in cognitive abilities.

A common result of the aging process is sarcopenia, a decline in the mass and function of muscles. Dafna Benayahu, from Tel Aviv University (Israel), and colleagues studied a laboratory rat population, finding that endurance exercise increased the number of satellite cells (muscle stem cells), which normally decline with aging.

Comparing the performance of rats of different ages and sexes, they found that the number of satellite cells increased after rats ran on a treadmill for 20 minutes a day for a 13-week period. The younger rats showed a 20% to 35% increase in the average number of stem cells per muscle fiber retained -- and older rats benefited even more significantly, exhibiting a 33% to 47% increase in stem cells.

Further, the team found that endurance exercise improved the levels of "spontaneous locomotion,” a response mechanism that is typically reduced with aging. The researchers are hopeful that this finding leads to discoveries of new methods to raise satellite cell populations in human muscle tissue, to raise the production and performance of young and healthy muscles, to provide an anti-aging musculoskeletal benefit.

Easy Craft: Inspirational Quotes Bookmarks (Not a Kids Craft)

Metallic scissorsImage via Wikipedia
Scissors
Keep yourself inspired for the New Year! Here's an easy craft for you to do, to keep inspirational quotes floating around in your head and your goal setting on track. This is not a Kids Craft. But I suppose it could be, depending on the subject matter you choose.

What we're going to choose (as adults) is micro-inspirational quotes; the kinds of snippets that you would apply to an inspirational collage, Vision Board, or Vision Book. If you look to the right side bar on this blog, you'll see an ad for a Step One Vision Board. These are really cool versions of this same idea, but in video format. These are also called Mind Movies and you can find a bunch on YouTube if you're not into making your own.

Back in the 80's, when creating Vision Books (scrapbooks with pictures of what you're dreaming of) first came into vogue, I made one (or two or three) of these books. Later, about twenty years later! I found these scrapbooks and was amazed that every single thing had come true. Everything! It was astounding. So I really believe in inspiration, especially visual inspiration. Keep it around to keep you focused on your goals.

Our Vision Craft today is really EASY:

Step 1: Gather together a bunch of newspapers (the Sports section is great!), magazines, brochures, junk mail, etc. Anything paper or cardstock.

Step 2: Then you'll begin to look for one-liners that inspire. Grab some scisssors and cut. They should be bookmark-sized and can be left plain. Or, if you'd like to get fancy, you can take them to the library (FREE) or a print shop like Kinkos, and laminate them. You can do about 6 for around $2.00 at Kinkos.

Press them between the laminate, heat and roll, then cut. Be sure to snip the corners of each one so that you don't have any sharp edges.

Step 3: Once you have a bunch, you can keep them nearby in a decorative box or basket. That way they'll be easy to grab when needed.

Here are a few samples from my own box:
1. Winning Streak Begins
2. Yes You Can!
3. MOJO is Back
4. Restoration Begins Now
5. Clean Sweep

6. Dominate
7. Big Winner
8. Time for Cruise Therapy
9. You Make My Best Better
10. Time to Relax

11. Imagine Life Sweeter
12. Thank You!
13. Ahead of the Competition
14. In High Demand
15. New Life Now

16. Doubly Excited
17. Oh, What Fun!
18. Getting Traction
19. On Top of the World
20. Make Life Fun Again

21. Wish for Smiles
22. Do it Now
23. Wish for More
24. Delighted
25. Sparkle

26. LOVE
27. Joy Bliss Love
28. Express Yourself
29. PEACE
30. One of a Kind

Imagine... just think how fun it would be to "accidentally" leave one in a library book that says something like "Success Begins Now!".

Thanks so much for your support. Have a great day and a Happy New Year!
