Found, Genes That Can Make Your Longevity  

A gene that can make you live a long life to 100 years have been identified by expert scientists in the United States. Discoveries that have been published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this, mention may be a new breakthrough in the production of antiaging medicine. The team of researchers from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, New York, doing research on an Ashkenazi Jewish communities in the United States, which has an average age of 97 years. From the results of research, they discovered that the respondents have decreased gene that appears to prevent aging cells.

Research shows that parents who studied 86 children with them, have an enzyme called telomerase with a very high level. This enzyme functions to protect the DNA in the body. They are aged over 90 years and his descendants generally have higher telomerase and make them significantly more longevity. Telomerase is known to the special section of DNA that sit at the end of the chromosome, like a plastic sheath at the end of shoelaces to prevent loose fibers woven rope. Every time a cell divides, the telomerase will shorten and become more vulnerable to death. By raising the level of telomerase, the researchers think they can quickly block cell death and fight the aging process.

Be careful, phone cause bone loss  

The habit of storing the phone in his belt is generally done by men. From now on, warn your partner to no longer do so. The reason, according to a study in Turkey, to put or keep a phone near the hip area can reduce bone density in the pelvic area commonly used for bone transplantation. Research has been published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, said that the electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones can provide harmful effects on bone density.

In his research, the researchers from Süleyman Demirel University, Isparta using X-ray absorptiometry to measure bone density of the circumference of the pelvic or iliac wings on the 150 men who used to keep the phone on his belt. They carry cell phones at the hip on average about 15 hours a day, and have been using cell phones less than 6 years. Research results showed, decreased bone density at the side of the pelvis is a place where participants usually bring their cell phones. The difference may be insignificant and do not approach the limit as a decrease in bone density in osteoporosis patients. However, the men who become participants is still relatively young with a median age of 32 and is expected to decrease in bone density will continue as they age.

According to researchers, Iliac wings and pelvis is widely used for bone transplantation. This means, the reduction in bone density will affect the reconstruction operation. In the process in which bone density is very important to get good results, then the surgeon should consider the effects of exposure to fields from mobile phones elektromanetik. For this reason, the researcherRata Penuhs hope that their findings could be important so that the phone records in the future could reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields of its users. But while, to prevent that you should keep the phone as much as possible from the body. "It's much better to put the cell phone as far as possible from the body, during our daily activities," said the researcher Dr. Tolga Atay.
