  • Osteoporosis therapy consisting of estrogen, vitamin D and calcium reduced prevalence of severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women by 44%. (2017) www.sciencedaily.com
    Vitamin D Hormones Inflammation Estrogen Calcium

    From the article:

    In the Menopause article “Association between osteoporosis treatment and severe periodontitis in postmenopausal women,” 492 postmenopausal Brazilian women aged 50 to 87 years, 113 in osteoporosis treatment and 379 not treated, were evaluated to determine whether osteoporosis treatment could help increase the bone mineral density in their jaws and, subsequently, improve overall oral health.

    The study found that the rate of occurrence of severe periodontitis was 44% lower in the postmenopausal osteoporosis-treatment group than in the untreated group. Treatment consisted of systemic estrogen alone or estrogen plus progestin, as well as calcium and vitamin D supplements, for a minimum of six months.

    “Osteoporosis can occur throughout the body, including the jaw, and lead to an increased risk of periodontal disease,” says Dr. JoAnn Pinkerton, NAMS executive director.

    Hi Rhonda,

    First off, I’m a big fan and I love your podcasts. The one thing I’m not such a fan of though, is the supplement craze.

    Do you have any comments on this study? By the looks of it, the only supplement worth taking is folic acid and B-vitamins (which is something I am considering, since I rarely eat meat).

    In my mind, if you predominantly eat plant-based wholefoods (vegetables, berries and fruits, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds in that order), molluscs every now and then (once a month-ish) (and I do eat a bit of egg and cheese on occasions), is supplementation really necessary or even desired?

    I’m a mid-twenties guy, who exercises a lot (stretching/yoga and running everyday, weights/calisthenics 3-6days/wk and intervals 2days/wk) and I strive to “optimize” my health and fitness (although I do feast on junk in social occasions every blue moon). I intermediate fast every day, every now and then I do a 2-4 day fast, and I meditate daily). Do you have any recommendations for other healthy habits I could implement? Sorry for the digression, I’d be happy with just an answer in regards to the study :)

  • Why is Stem Cells Therapy Good for Anti Aging? - Stemfinitycord Malaysia stemfinitycord.co

    Stem cell therapy is a type of cell therapy where stem cells are introduced into the damaged tissue to treat the disorder or the injury. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are used in most stem cell therapy. They’re non-hematopoietic cell precursors initially found in the bone marrow, but actually present in many other tissues. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in culture are adherent, proliferating, and capable of multilineage differentiation into several tissues of mesenchymal origin, such as bone marrow stroma, adipose tissue (body fat), bone, cartilage, tendon, skeletal muscle and etc.

    So Why is Stem Cells Therapy Good for Anti Aging?

    In short, stem cells therapy was heavily emphasised to have the capacity to repair, renew and replace damaged tissue is a good anti aging treatment.

    As shown below are the functions of Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy: - Help facilitate growth of new blood vessels, a process known as angiogenesis which leads to improved blood flow in tissue - An anti-inflammatory effect which fastens wound healing - After aiding wound healing, it helps in reducing size of scarred tissue such as infected cardiomyocytes (heart cells) or wound to joint injury - Repair of damaged tissue which then leads to renewal of healthy tissue - Relief if symptoms related to any chronic diseases - Vast improvement in the immune system against disease - Better digestion and elimination of constipation - More flexible joints and discs - Improvement in skin elasticity and thickness - Reducing facial pigmentation, and adding a glow to your skin - Diminishing fine lines and wrinkles - Improving skin complexion - Tightening and shrinking open pores - Removing dark circles

    No more joints problems, no more constipation, better appearance, overall human health improves!

    The list is non-exhaustive when it comes to stem cells therapy. All these benefits brought by stem cells therapy are exactly the definition of anti aging if not reviving old age.
