Epigenetics of Aging


Book Description

Recent studies have indicated that epigenetic processes may play a major role in both cellular and organismal aging. These epigenetic processes include not only DNA methylation and histone modifications, but also extend to many other epigenetic mediators such as the polycomb group proteins, chromosomal position effects, and noncoding RNA. The topics of this book range from fundamental changes in DNA methylation in aging to the most recent research on intervention into epigenetic modifications to modulate the aging process. The major topics of epigenetics and aging covered in this book are: 1) DNA methylation and histone modifications in aging; 2) Other epigenetic processes and aging; 3) Impact of epigenetics on aging; 4) Epigenetics of age-related diseases; 5) Epigenetic interventions and aging: and 6) Future directions in epigenetic aging research. The most studied of epigenetic processes, DNA methylation, has been associated with cellular aging and aging of organisms for many years. It is now apparent that both global and gene-specific alterations occur not only in DNA methylation during aging, but also in several histone alterations. Many epigenetic alterations can have an impact on aging processes such as stem cell aging, control of telomerase, modifications of telomeres, and epigenetic drift can impact the aging process as evident in the recent studies of aging monozygotic twins. Numerous age-related diseases are affected by epigenetic mechanisms. For example, recent studies have shown that DNA methylation is altered in Alzheimer’s disease and autoimmunity. Other prevalent diseases that have been associated with age-related epigenetic changes include cancer and diabetes. Paternal age and epigenetic changes appear to have an effect on schizophrenia and epigenetic silencing has been associated with several of the progeroid syndromes of premature aging. Moreover, the impact of dietary or drug intervention into epigenetic processes as they affect normal aging or age-related diseases is becoming increasingly feasible.




Bio-Age


Book Description

How Young Do You Want to Feel? Your calendar age is just a number. What really matters is how you look, how you feel and how much energy you bring to your day. Your biological age— your Bio-Age— is what counts. You can't make yourself younger chronologically (be honest now, do you really want to be 15 again?) but you can change your Bio-Age. We all know people who look and perform like someone 10 years older than the age on their birth certificate. We also know others who seem to be at least 10 years younger. What are their secrets? Brad King and Dr. Michael Schmidt shed some light on that question. The authors of Bio-Age have brought together the most up-to-date research on how the human body works and how it ages— a complex subject that has exploded with new discoveries in recent years. They explain what is actually happening to your body. Eight other experts, invited to contribute their news and views on aging-related topics, will tell you about specific anti-aging strategies. Then the authors take it to the next level with a 10-step plan to help you change your own aging process and promote healthy longevity. Read the book. Make the lifestyle choices that will keep you on the move and on the ball. Don't let your birth certificate fool you— how young do you want to feel?

Younger in 8 Weeks


Book Description

"We have proof that aging doesn't have to be a downward slope. There's your chronological age-what the calendar says-and then there's your biological age, which is a measure of how well your body and brain are holding up for your chronological age. And there's mounting evidence that a healthy lifestyle can actually lower your biological age from the inside out. These healthy lifestyle changes-to your diet, exercise, and sleep habits and to how your deal with stress-are totally accessible to anyone and bring amazing results. How do we know? We combed the latest science and consulted with a dream team of advisors in health, fitness, nutrition and beauty to roll our findings into a simple Younger in 8 Weeks Plan. Then we tested it on 21 women ages 36 to 66 who'd been struggling with weight gain, lack of energy, loss of luster, and other common age-related issues."-
