Monday, 17 March 2025   Then another of His disciples said to Him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Matthew 8:21   “And another – of His disciples – said to Him, ‘Lord, You permit me first to go and inter my father'” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus told the scribe that the Son of Man has nowhere to recline His head. Next, He is again approached. Matthew records that, beginning with, “And another – of His disciples.”   The word translated as another, héteros, signifies another, but distinct in kind. This is in contrast to the Greek word állos which signifies another of the same kind. In other words, this appears to confirm that the scribe of the previous verse was not a disciple.   Rather, he was just an opportunist looking to ingratiate himself to Jesus in order to somehow profit off of His ministry. Of this person now, it says that he “said to Him, ‘Lord, You permit me first.'”   The word epitrepó, to permit, is introduced here. It literally means “to upon turn.” In other words, it is an expression to be used in a figurative sense to mean permit, yield, allow, etc.   If one thinks of a wheel turning, one might say, “As the wheel turns, I want to do this.” It would indicate an interval of time being permitted for him to do the requested thing. In this case, this upon turning is “to go and inter my father.”   Another new word is used, thaptó, to inter. Saying “bury” is something that we generally do, and so it is what we think of. However, it says in translations of 1 Corinthians 15:4, using this same word, that Jesus was buried. That is technically not correct. He was entombed or interred.   This was a common form of disposing of a body in Israel. It would be placed in a tomb, allowed to decay, and then the bones would be collected and placed in an ossuary. This can be seen in the passage about Lazarus –   “Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.' Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, ‘Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days.' 40 Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?' 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, ‘Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me.' 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come forth!' 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with graveclothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Loose him, and let him go.'” John 11:38-44   This is also why it was pointed out that no one had been laid in the tomb where Jesus was interred before –   “This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. 53 Then he took it down, wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a tomb that was hewn out of the rock, where no one had ever lain before.” Luke 23:52, 53   The tombs were reused after the bones had been removed and placed in an ossuary. The disciple is saying to Jesus that he would follow Him, but he first had to tend to his father's internment. The probable meaning is that his father was old and would need to be buried upon his death. He was asking for a chance to see him off before following him.   What precipitated this was that Jesus was going to go to the other side of the sea with His disciples. Not knowing how long this would be, based on what He said to the scribe, he didn't want to abandon his father at the time of his passing.   The reason this is the likely scenario is that when a person died, the culture insisted on an immediate internment. A delay of twenty-four or fewer hours would not call for such a response. Rather, the unknown date of an elderly person's passing could ostensibly go on for years.   Life application: In 1965, a lawyer named André-François Raffray signed a contract to buy the house of Jeanne Calment. At the time Jeanne was 90. André-François figured it wouldn't be long until she punched her ticket, and so he agreed to pay 2500 francs a month until she died. This is about $500 in today's dollars.   Raffray didn't expect her to live to be 123 years old. In fact, he died in 1995 at 77 while Jeanne Calment, the seemingly Everlasting Bunny, was still a spry 120. She lived three more years while Raffray's family continued to pay her the monthly agreed upon amount.   In all, the over-eager Raffray (and his family after him) paid Jeanne Calment a total of 918,000 francs. This was nearly double the amount that the apartment was worth.   Remembering this lesson, we need to not get ourselves into things without any set end to them lest we lose our shirts in the process. Eternity is forever. Be set in where you will go when you go. Invest in Jesus, the only true guarantee of eternal life in the presence of God. Do it today!   O God, we invest in a lot of things in this life. Many of them turn out to be bad decisions filled with loss. But even when they are successes, they will eventually fade away. Nothing is sure except that we are set to die and then face the judgment. May our judgment for salvation wisely be settled now by calling on Jesus! Amen.

Leitura bíblica do dia: Salmo 90:1-14 Plano de leitura anual: Isaías 39-40; Colossenses 4 Em 1990, alguns pesquisadores franceses tiveram um problema no computador ao processar a idade de Jeanne Calment. Ela tinha 115 anos, uma idade fora dos parâmetros do programa de software. Os programadores pensaram que ninguém poderia viver tanto! Na verdade, Jeanne viveu até atingir seus 122 Anos. O salmista escreve: “Recebemos setenta anos, alguns chegam aos oitenta” (Salmo 90:10). Esta é uma forma figurada de dizer que, independentemente da idade a que chegarmos, mesmo que sejamos longevos como Jeanne Calment, nossa vida nesta Terra é limitada. Nossos dias estão nas mãos soberanas de um Deus amoroso (v.5). Entretanto, no reino espiritual, o “tempo de Deus” é diferente do nosso: “Para ti, mil anos são como um dia que passa…” (v.4). Na pessoa de Cristo, a “expectativa de vida” recebe um novo significado: “quem crê no Filho de Deus tem a vida eterna…” (João 3:36). “Tem” está no modo presente: agora mesmo, em nosso atual momento repleto de tribulações e lágrimas, nosso futuro é abençoado e nossa vida não tem fim. Por este motivo celebramos com o salmista, orando: “Satisfaze-nos a cada manhã com o teu amor, para que cantemos de alegria até o final da vida” (v.14). Por: Kenneth Petersen

Jeanne Louise Calment (French: [ʒan lwiz kalmɑ̃] ⓘ; 21 February 1875 – 4 August 1997) was a French supercentenarian and, with a documented lifespan of 122 years and 164 days, the oldest person ever whose age has been verified.[1] Her longevity attracted media attention and medical studies of her health and lifestyle. She is the only person verified to have reached the age of 120 and beyond. According to census records, Calment outlived both her daughter and grandson.[2] In January 1988, she was widely reported to be the oldest living person, and in 1995, at age 120, was declared the oldest verified person to have ever lived.[3]

Richard C. Hoagland is the principal investigator and founder of The Enterprise Mission, as well as the vision and the voice of The Other Side of Midnight. In the first half, he discussed images from Odysseus, a recent unmanned American lunar mission. According to Hoagland, the new lunar mission's close-ups dramatically confirm his decades-old "ancient, artificial structures on the Moon model" that he first proposed at the National Press Club in March 1996. The Washington Post even published a "hit piece" 28 years ago on the press event. He suggested that the reason many private and non-US missions to the Moon have run into problems is because they are literally crashing into the glass dome, which he claims exists all over the Moon but is denser in certain regions.The dome, Hoagland continued, could be billions of years old and has been battered by a stream of interplanetary micrometeorites that, over eons, have left holes in it. In image #2 that he sent us, he explained that you can see the sun shining through the "incredible geometry of the glass dome" as the light bounces off of it, creating a refraction. He has concluded that a renegade group in and outside of NASA wants to reveal the truth about these structures on the Moon, and that the recent Odysseus mission functioned as a kind of Trojan horse for that goal. There are ruins throughout the solar system, he added, and it will be fascinating to eventually learn who placed them there and if they are related to our species.------------Venki Ramakrishnan shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering the structure of the ribosome and runs Ramakrishnan Lab. In the latter half, he discussed the science of mortality and aging, the giant strides being made in the field, and the possibility that we may someday be able to extend our lifespan. The oldest person that ever lived (that we have reliable records for) was a French woman named Jeanne Calment, who died at the age of 122 in 1997. Aging is the accumulation of chemical damage to our molecules and cells over time, he explained, and it starts gradually with small defects; these lead to medium-sized ones that manifest as the morbidities of old age, leading eventually to the system-wide failure that is death. Someone like Calment may have an extraordinary ability to fend off or repair the body's defects that come with aging. For instance, as we age, the risk of cancer goes up, he noted.Scientists are now asking if it's possible to extend our longevity past 120. Ramakrishnan believes we may have to alter our natural biology to achieve this, which could be a challenging proposition. He reported that larger species tend to live longer on average-- for instance, a blue whale or Greenland shark will live 400 years, and other whales live 200 to 300 years. He cited that stress can take a toll on a person, while the "trinity of health" is the combination of a good, moderate diet, exercise, and adequate sleep. Sleep deprivation, he pointed out, increases the risk of many diseases of aging, including cardiovascular problems, obesity, cancer, and Alzheimer's. This may be because during sleep the body performs various repair mechanisms. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

It doesn't even know what a human is. Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This week we have a great suggestion by Oz from Las Vegas. Oz wanted to learn about some animals that will outlive us all, and gave some suggestions of really long-lived animals that we'll talk about. We had a similar episode several years ago about the longest lived animals,where for some reason we talked a lot about plants, episode 168, but this is a little different. But first, a quick correction! Last week we talked about the dodo and some of its relations, including the Nicobar pigeon. I said that the Nicobar pigeon lived in the South Pacific, but Pranav caught my mistake. The Nicobar pigeon lives in the Indian Ocean on the Nicobar Islands, which I should have figured out because of the name. Anyway, back in the olden days when I was on Twitter all the time, I came across a tweet that's still my absolute favorite. Occasionally I catch myself thinking about it. It's by someone named Everett Byram who posted it in January 2018. It goes: “DATE: so tell me something about yourself “ME: I am older than every dog” Not only is it funny, it also makes you thoughtful. People live a whole lot longer than dogs. The oldest living dog is a chihuahua named Spike, who is 23 years old right now. A dog who was supposed to be even older, 31 years old, died in October of 2023, but there's some doubt about that particular dog's actual age. Pictures of the dog taken in 1999 don't actually look like the same dog who died in 2023. The oldest cat who ever lived, or at least whose age is known for sure, died in 2005 at the age of 38 years. The oldest cat known who's still alive is Flossie, who was born on December 29th, 1995. If your birthday is before that, you're older than every cat and every dog. The oldest human whose age we know for sure was Jeanne Calment, who died in 1997 at the age of 122 years. We talked about her in episode 168. The oldest human alive today, as far as we know, is Maria Branyas, who lives in Spain and will turn 117 years old on her next birthday in March 2024. It's not uncommon for ordinary people to live well into their 90s and even to age 100, although after you reach the century mark you're very lucky and people will start asking you what your secret for a long life is. You might as well go ahead and make something up now to tell people, because it seems to mainly be genetics and luck that allow some people to live far beyond the lives of any dog or cat or most other humans. Staying physically active as you age also appears to be an important factor, so keep moving around. But there are some animals who routinely outlive humans, animals who could post online and say “I am older than every human” and the others of its species would laugh and say, “Oh my gosh, it's true! I'm older than every human too!” But they don't have access to the internet because they are, for instance, a Greenland shark. We talked about the Greenland shark in episode 163. It lives in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans where the water is barely warmer than the freezing point. It can grow up to 23 feet long, or 7 meters, with females being larger than males. Despite getting to such enormous sizes,

One of the many challenges in planning for retirement is grappling with the unknown. A big unknown is longevity. No one really knows how long they'll live. And there's a growing number of centenarians these days. What if you live to be 100? Or what if you become a super-ager and live much longer than that? It's something to consider in your planning, both financially and non-financially. And this longevity revolution we're in the midst of is creating many challenges for systems that were built to support lives that lasted a handful of years after retirement. William J. Kole, author of The Big 100: The New World of Super-Aging, joins us to discuss the joys and consequences of longer lives - and what we can learn from super-agers that could help you live a triple digit life. ____________________ Bio William J. Kole, recently retired as the New England news editor for Associated Press, is a veteran journalist and former foreign correspondent who has reported from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The grandson of a woman who lived a few months shy of 104, Kole has been writing about extreme longevity since the 1990s, when he was based in Paris and told the world the extraordinary story of Jeanne Calment, who lived to 122.

We're going to hit a very important milestone just a little over 10 years from now in 2034, when the numbers of Americans who are 65 and older will outnumber those who are 18 and younger for the first time in our history. And the number of people who are 85 and older are rapidly growing. It's one of the fastest growing subsets of the population. But what's really driving this, what I call a new world of super aging, is really two-fold. One is just demographics. So the baby boomers, a huge generation numerically are getting older. I'm one of them. I think you might be too, Joe. {Indeed}And there's at least 70 million about by some counts, a bit more than that. The oldest of us is about 77 right now. So in the next 25 years, the fittest of those people will age into triple digits. And interestingly, centenarians tend to occur in one in 5,000 in the population in general, in many places at least. This is according to Tom Perls at the New England Centenarian Study, which is the largest of its kind in the world. And so just by virtue of there being so many boomers aging, we're going to see a sort of algorithmic increase in the numbers of people living to 100. And then there's a medical and technological piece, where we are doing a better job at treating, and in some cases, curing the things that kill us."   On Stress & Longevity "For me,

Für fast ein Jahr war sie mit 118 Jahren der älteste lebende Mensch der Erde, die Französin Lucile Randon. Jetzt ist sie gestorben. Wenn man sich auf die eindeutig dokumentierten Lebensdaten verlässt, dann war die 1997 verstorbene Französin Jeanne Calment mit 122 Jahren der absolut älteste Mensch. In vielen Ländern gibt es aber keine zuverlässigen Geburtsregister. Immer wieder tauchen Nachrichten von noch älteren Menschen auf, die ihr Geburtsdatum aber nicht beweisen können. Ein Mann in Indonesien soll 145 Jahre alt geworden sein, ein Äthiopier sogar 171 Jahre. Das wirkt geradezu unvorstellbar. Durchschnittlich erreichen Männer in Deutschland ein Alter von 78 Jahren und Frauen 83 Jahre. Die älteste in der Bibel erwähnte Person war Methusalem. Er verstarb demnach mit 969 Jahren. Die Französin Lucile Randon war eine gläubige Frau, die sich nicht vor dem Tod fürchtete, weil sie sich sicher war, dann in der Ewigkeit Gottes weiterzuleben und dort ihre gläubigen Freude und Verwandten wiederzusehen. Der Tod fordert heraus, ganz gleich in welchem Alter man stirbt.

In 1990, French researchers had a computer problem: a data error when processing the age of Jeanne Calment. She was 115 years old, an age outside the parameters of the software program. The programmers had assumed no one could possibly live that long! In fact, Jeanne lived until the age of 122. The psalmist writes “our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures” (Psalm 90:10), a figurative way of saying whatever age we live to, even to the age of Jeanne Calment, our lives on earth are indeed limited. Our lifetimes are in the sovereign hands of a loving God (v. 5). In the spiritual realm, however, we’re reminded of what “God time” really is: “A thousand years in your sight are like a day that has just gone by” (v. 4). And in the person of Jesus Christ “life expectancy” has been given a whole new meaning: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life” (John 3:36). “Has” is in the present tense: right now, in our current physical moment of trouble and tears, our future is blessed, and our lifespan is limitless. In this we rejoice and with the psalmist pray, “Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days” (Psalm 90:14).

Cranberry Powder Attenuates Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia University of Suwon (South Korea), June 21, 2021   Cranberry powder (CR) is reported to be effective against lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and recurrent urinary tract infections. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in men older than 50 years is a common cause of LUTS. Here, we attempted to evaluate if CR is also effective for treating BPH using a BPH-induced rat model, which was orally administered CR. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing 200–250 g were randomly divided into the following six groups (n = 9): noncastration group; castration group; BPH group; BPH and cranberry for 8-week (CR8W) group; BPH and cranberry for 4-week (CR4W) group; and BPH and saw palmetto group (saw palmetto). Compared with the BPH group, the CR8W group showed a significant decrease in prostate weight (by 33%), dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels (by 18% in serum and 28% in prostate), 5-alpha reductase levels (18% reduction of type 1 and 35% of type 2), and histological changes. These results indicate that CR could attenuate BPH by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase and by reducing other biomarkers such as prostate weight and DHT levels. Thus, CR may be an effective candidate for the development of a functional food for BPH treatment. IACUC (USW-IACUC-R-2015-004).   In our investigation, the administration of CP significantly prevented the progression of BPH by reducing the 5AR levels, and consequently reducing DHT levels in the serum and prostate, along with reduction of the prostate size. This study demonstrated that CR exerts positive effects against BPH, based on biochemical and histological changes in BPH-induced rats. Although further investigation and validation is required, our study provides evidence, for developing a potential treatment for BPH from natural products.     Psychedelic spurs growth of neural connections lost in depression Yale University, July 5, 2021 The psychedelic drug psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in some mushrooms, has been studied as a potential treatment for depression for years. But exactly how it works in the brain and how long beneficial results might last is still unclear. In a new study, Yale researchers show that a single dose of psilocybin given to mice prompted an immediate and long-lasting increase in connections between neurons. The findings are published July 5 in the journal Neuron. "We not only saw a 10% increase in the number of neuronal connections, but also they were on average about 10% larger, so the connections were stronger as well," said Yale's Alex Kwan, associate professor of psychiatry and of neuroscience and senior author of the paper. Previous laboratory experiments had shown promise that psilocybin, as well as the anesthetic ketamine, can decrease depression. The new Yale research found that these compounds increase the density of dendritic spines, small protrusions found on nerve cells which aid in the transmission of information between neurons. Chronic stress and depression are known to reduce the number of these neuronal connections. Using a laser-scanning microscope, Kwan and first author Ling-Xiao Shao, a postdoctoral associate in the Yale School of Medicine, imaged dendritic spines in high resolution and tracked them for multiple days in living mice. They found increases in the number of dendritic spines and in their size within 24 hours of administration of psilocybin. These changes were still present a month later. Also, mice subjected to stress showed behavioral improvements and increased neurotransmitter activity after being given psilocybin. For some people, psilocybin, an active compound in "magic mushrooms," can produce a profound mystical experience. The psychedelic was a staple of religious ceremonies among indigenous populations of the New World and is also a popular recreational drug. It may be the novel psychological effects of psilocybin itself that spurs the growth of neuronal connections, Kwan said. "It was a real surprise to see such enduring changes from just one dose of psilocybin," he said. "These new connections may be the structural changes the brain uses to store new experiences."   How long can a person live? The 21st century may see a record-breaker University of Washington, July 2, 2021 The number of people who live past the age of 100 has been on the rise for decades, up to nearly half a million people worldwide. There are, however, far fewer "supercentenarians," people who live to age 110 or even longer. The oldest living person, Jeanne Calment of France, was 122 when she died in 1997; currently, the world's oldest person is 118-year-old Kane Tanaka of Japan. Such extreme longevity, according to new research by the University of Washington, likely will continue to rise slowly by the end of this century, and estimates show that a lifespan of 125 years, or even 130 years, is possible. "People are fascinated by the extremes of humanity, whether it's going to the moon, how fast someone can run in the Olympics, or even how long someone can live," said lead author Michael Pearce, a UW doctoral student in statistics. "With this work, we quantify how likely we believe it is that some individual will reach various extreme ages this century." Longevity has ramifications for government and economic policies, as well as individuals' own health care and lifestyle decisions, rendering what's probable, or even possible, relevant at all levels of society. The new study, published June 30 in Demographic Research, uses statistical modeling to examine the extremes of human life. With ongoing research into aging, the prospects of future medical and scientific discoveries and the relatively small number of people to have verifiably reached age 110 or older, experts have debated the possible limits to what is referred to as the maximum reported age at death. While some scientists argue that disease and basic cell deterioration lead to a natural limit on human lifespan, others maintain there is no cap, as evidenced by record-breaking supercentenarians. Pearce and Adrian Raftery, a professor of sociology and of statistics at the UW, took a different approach. They asked what the longest individual human lifespan could be anywhere in the world by the year 2100. Using Bayesian statistics, a common tool in modern statistics, the researchers estimated that the world record of 122 years almost certainly will be broken, with a strong likelihood of at least one person living to anywhere between 125 and 132 years. To calculate the probability of living past 110 -- and to what age -- Raftery and Pearce turned to the most recent iteration of the International Database on Longevity, created by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. That database tracks supercentenarians from 10 European countries, plus Canada, Japan and the United States. Using a Bayesian approach to estimate probability, the UW team created projections for the maximum reported age at death in all 13 countries from 2020 through 2100. Among their findings: Researchers estimated near 100% probability that the current record of maximum reported age at death -- Calment's 122 years, 164 days -- will be broken; The probability remains strong of a person living longer, to 124 years old (99% probability) and even to 127 years old (68% probability); An even longer lifespan is possible but much less likely, with a 13% probability of someone living to age 130; It is "extremely unlikely" that someone would live to 135 in this century. As it is, supercentenarians are outliers, and the likelihood of breaking the current age record increases only if the number of supercentenarians grows significantly. With a continually expanding global population, that's not impossible, researchers say. People who achieve extreme longevity are still rare enough that they represent a select population, Raftery said. Even with population growth and advances in health care, there is a flattening of the mortality rate after a certain age. In other words, someone who lives to be 110 has about the same probability of living another year as, say, someone who lives to 114, which is about one-half. "It doesn't matter how old they are, once they reach 110, they still die at the same rate," Raftery said. "They've gotten past all the various things life throws at you, such as disease. They die for reasons that are somewhat independent of what affects younger people. "This is a very select group of very robust people."     Dried Plum Consumption Improves Total Cholesterol and Antioxidant Capacity and Reduces Inflammation in Healthy Postmenopausal Women San Diego State University, June 27, 2021 Dried plums contain bioactive components that have demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. The objective of this study was to determine if dried plum consumption reduces the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in postmenopausal women, specifically examining lipid profiles, oxidative stress, antioxidant capacity, and inflammation in a dose-dependent manner. We conducted a 6-month, parallel-design controlled clinical trial, where 48 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to consume 0, 50, or 100 g of dried plum each day. After 6 months of intervention, total cholesterol (TC) in the 100 g/day treatment group (P = .002) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the 50 g/day treatment group (P = .005) improved significantly compared to baseline. Inflammatory biomarkers interleukin-6 (P = .044) and tumor necrosis factor-α (P = .040) were significantly lower after 6 months within the 50 g/day dried plum group compared to baseline. Moreover, total antioxidant capacity increased significantly within the 50 g/day group (P = .046), and superoxide dismutase activity increased significantly within both 50 and 100 g/day groups (P = .044 and P = .027, respectively) after 6 months compared to baseline. In addition, plasma activities of alanine transaminase (P = .046), lactate dehydrogenase (P = .039), and creatine kinase (P = .030) were significantly lower after 6 months in the 50 g/day dried plum group. These findings suggest that daily consumption of 50–100 g dried plum improves CVD risk factors in postmenopausal women as exhibited by lower TC, oxidative stress, and inflammatory markers with no clear dose dependence.     Regular physical activity linked to more 'fit' preteen brains   Childrens Hospital Boston, July 2, 2021 We know exercise has many health benefits. A new study from Boston Children's Hospital adds another benefit: Physical activity appears to help organize children's developing brains. The study, led by Dr. Caterina Stamoulis, analyzed brain imaging data from nearly 6,000 9- and 10-year-olds. It found that physical activity was associated with more efficiently organized, robust, and flexible brain networks. The more physical activity, the more "fit" the brain. "It didn't matter what kind of physical activity children were involved in," says Dr. Stamoulis, who directs the Computational Neuroscience Laboratory at Boston Children's. "It only mattered that they were active." Crunching the data Dr. Stamoulis and her trainees, Skylar Brooks and Sean Parks, tapped brain imaging data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study, a long-running study sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. They used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data to estimate the strength and organizational properties of the children's brain circuits. These measures determine how efficiently the brain functions and how readily it can adapt to changes in the environment. "The preteen years are a very important time in brain development," notes Dr. Stamoulis. "They are associated with a lot of changes in the brain's functional circuits, particularly those supporting higher-level thought processes. Unhealthy changes in these areas can lead to risky behaviors and long-lasting deficits in the skills needed for learning and reasoning." The team combined these data with information on the children's physical activity and sports involvement, supplied by the families, as well as body mass index (BMI). Finally, they adjusted the data for other factors that might affect brain development, such as being born before 40 weeks of gestation, puberty status, sex, and family income. Healthy brain networks Being active multiple times per week for at least 60 minutes had a widespread positive effect on brain circuitry. Children who engaged in high levels of physical activity showed beneficial effects on brain circuits in multiple areas essential to learning and reasoning. These included attention, sensory and motor processing, memory, decision making, and executive control (the ability to plan, coordinate, and control actions and behaviors). In contrast, increased BMI tended to have detrimental effects on the same brain circuitry. However, regular physical activity reduced these negative effects. "We think physical activity affects brain organization directly, but also indirectly by reducing BMI," Dr. Stamoulis says. Analyzing brain effects In the analyses, the brain was represented mathematically as a network of "nodes": a set of brain regions linked by connections of varying strength. Physical activity had two kinds of positive effects: on the efficiency and robustness of the network as a whole, and on more local properties such as the number and clustering of node connections. "Highly connected local brain networks that communicate with each other through relatively few but strong long-range connections optimizes information processing and transmission in the brain," explains Dr. Stamoulis. "In preteens, a number of brain functions are still developing, and they can be altered by a number of risk factors. Our results suggest that physical activity has a positive protective effect across brain regions."   Could Sumac Be Effective on COVID-19 Treatment? Fırat University Medicine Faculty (Turkey), June 11, 2021 Sumac is an herbal product, commonly consumed as a spice and was used for medical treatment for centuries. The phytochemical structure of Sumac was studied extensively, and it was established that the herb contained tannins, polyphenols, flavonoids, organic acids, and essential oils. Various scientific studies demonstrated that Sumac had a free oxygen radical-scavenging effect, a protective effect against liver damage, antihemolytic, leukopenia, and antifibrogenic effects, along with its antiviral, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Recently, several scientific studies described the pathophysiology, clinical course, and the treatment of COVID-19 infection. The examination of the characteristics of COVID-19 infection revealed via the clinical studies suggests that Sumac extract could be useful in the treatment of COVID-19. Given the scientific studies focusing on the beneficial effects of Sumac, the present review aims to provide an encouraging viewpoint to investigate whether Sumac is effective in treating COVID-19 infection. Antiviral Effect SARS-CoV2 virus, which causes COVID-19 infection, is a highly infectious RNA virus. There are no scientific studies on whether Sumac is effective against the SARS-CoV2 virus. On the contrary, the medications currently being used for treatment were directly administered in clinics, without scrutinizing whether they were effective against the novel coronavirus. Subsequently, several medications were identified to be useful during the clinical course of the disease. Yet, there are scientific in vitro and in vivo studies that investigated the antiviral effects of Sumac against several viruses. In a study, bioflavonoids isolated from Sumac were evaluated for their antiviral activities. Sumac presented inhibitory activities against respiratory viruses (influenza A, influenza B, and measles) and herpes viruses (HSV-1, HSV-2, and varicella zoster virus [VZV]).2 Another study found that Sumac extract exhibited significant antiviral activity against fish pathogenic infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus, and viral hemorrhagic septicemia virus. Furthermore, it was considered that Sumac was a potential antiviral therapeutic against fish viral diseases.3 In a study conducted in 2015, it was established that urushiol obtained from Sumac exhibited reverse transcriptase inhibitory activity for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). It was specified that Sumac could be used as a biological resource due to such inhibitory activity.4 Another study focusing on HIV found that Sumac extracts exhibited anti-HIV activity due to inhibiting the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase and protease activity. It was also demonstrated that Sumac inhibited the viral load in HIV-infected CEM-GFP (a CD4+ T-lymphocytic reporter cell line expressing green fluorescent protein [GFP] under HIV-1 LTR promoter) cells and human peripheral blood lymphocytes.5 Another study reported that Sumac extract presented strong antiviral activity against HSV-1 and HSV-2. The study also revealed that Sumac extract did not only interact with the viral envelope but also interacted with the surface of the host cells of the viruses, thus, disrupted the ability of the virus to adsorb and penetrate the host cells.6 The above-mentioned studies indicated the antiviral effects of Sumac extracts. The review of the viruses, on which Sumac is effective, such as influenza, HSV-1, HSV-2, VZV, and HIV-1 demonstrated that the common point between these viruses was the fact that they are all enveloped viruses, contain dense lipids in their envelopes, and are sensitive to ether.7 Coronaviruses share the same common features.7 Sumac is likely to affect the lipid layer in the virus envelope, disrupting the adsorption to the host cell and preventing the virus from penetrating the host cell, positively contributing to the infection. Naturally, this hypothesis should be evidenced in future studies. However, its effectiveness on the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV2) should be clarified first through animal testing and subsequently should be tested through human subjects. Conclusion An evaluation of the up to date knowledge, revealed by the clinical studies, on the characteristics of COVID-19 infection, its pathophysiology, clinic, and treatment, suggests that the use of Sumac extracts could be beneficial. Based on the beneficial effects indicated by the scientific studies on Sumac extracts, the present review could be encouraging to investigate its effectiveness for COVID-19 treatment. The authors of the present study believe that the benefits of Sumac extract can be tested by adding the adverse-effect-free Sumac extract to treatment and protecting the existing treatment protocols.   Sugar intake during pregnancy is associated with allergy and allergic asthma in children University of Bristol (UK), July 5, 2021 High maternal sugar intake during pregnancy may increase the risk of allergy and allergic asthma in the offspring, according to an early study led by Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) involving almost 9,000 mother-child pairs. While some research has reported an association between a high consumption of sugar-containing beverages and asthma in children, the relation between maternal sugar intake during pregnancy and allergy and asthma in the offspring has been little studied. The team, which included researchers from University of Bristol, used data from a world-leading birth cohort study, the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), also known as 'Children of the 90s'. The cohort recruited mothers who were pregnant in the 1990s and has been following up their offspring ever since. The current study, which is published in the European Respiratory Journal, analysed associations between maternal intake of free sugars in pregnancy and allergy (defined by positive skin tests to common allergens, namely dust mite, cat and grass) and asthma at seven years of age. While there was only weak evidence for a link between free sugar intake in pregnancy and asthma overall, there were strong positive associations with allergy and allergic asthma (where the child was diagnosed with asthma and had positive skin tests to allergens). When comparing the 20 per cent of mothers with the highest sugar intake versus the 20 per cent of mothers with the lowest sugar intake, there was an increased risk of 38 per cent for allergy in the offspring (73 per cent for allergy to two or more allergens) and 101 per cent for allergic asthma. The team found no association with eczema or hay fever. Lead researcher Professor Seif Shaheen from QMUL said: "We cannot say on the basis of these observations that a high intake of sugar by mothers in pregnancy is definitely causing allergy and allergic asthma in their offspring. However, given the extremely high consumption of sugar in the West, we will certainly be investigating this hypothesis further with some urgency. "The first step is to see whether we can replicate these findings in a different cohort of mothers and children. If we can, then we will design a trial to test whether we can prevent childhood allergy and allergic asthma by reducing the consumption of sugar by mothers during pregnancy. In the meantime, we would recommend that pregnant women follow current guidelines and avoid excessive sugar consumption." The team speculate that the associations may be explained by a high maternal intake of fructose causing a persistent postnatal allergic immune response leading to allergic inflammation in the developing lung. The researchers controlled for numerous potential confounders in their analyses, such as background maternal characteristics, social factors and other aspects of maternal diet, including foods and nutrients that have been previously linked to childhood asthma and allergy. Importantly, the offspring's free sugar intake in early childhood was found to have no association with the outcomes seen in the analysis. As the study is observational, it does not prove a causal link between maternal sugar intake and allergies or asthma. A randomised controlled trial would be needed to definitively test causality.

Jeanne Calment, a person with a life span of 122 years, was born in 1875 and died in 1997, was the longest living person on record. This wonderful French woman took up fencing at the age of 85, and was still able to ride a bike when she reached 100 years old. She walked around her hometown, Arles, in the south of France, to thank the people who had sent her birthday wishes on her 100th birthday.  On the other hand, in contrast to Calment, there are people in their middle age who suffer from chronic diseases, have weak immune systems, low energy levels, looking weary and 10 years older than their peers. Why do people age at different rates? Why do some people stay energetic into old age, while others who are much younger, are sick, have foggy brain, and suffer from ongoing fatigue and tiredness? What is the secret behind aging? The Telomere Effect explores aging down to the cellular level, and reveals the secret of how the environment and mental status affects the speed of aging in humans. The book then provides suggestions on diet, sleep, sports, followed with tips on how to change our way of thinking to help us slow down aging and be more energetic.

This week let's take a look at some animals (and other living organisms) that live the longest! This isn't Methuselah itself (scientists aren't saying which tree it is, to keep it safe), but it's a bristlecone pine: The Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, a sacred fig tree in Sri Lanka, planted in 288 BCE by a king: Some trees of the quaking aspen colony called Pando: Glass sponges (this one's called the Venus Flower Basket): Further reading: Glass sponge as a living climate archive Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I’m your host, Kate Shaw. This week we’re going to look at the world’s longest lived animals and other organisms. We’re straying into plant territory a little bit here, but I think you’ll agree that this is some fascinating information. The oldest human whose age we can verify was a French woman who lived to be 122 years old, plus 164 days. Her name was Jeanne Calment and she came from a long-lived family. Her brother lived to the age of 97. Jeanne was born in 1875 and didn’t die until 1997. But the sad thing is, she outlived her entire family. She had a daughter who died of a lung disease called pleurisy at only 36 years old—in fact, on her 36th birthday—and her only grandson died in a car wreck in his late 30s. Jeanne remained healthy physically and mentally until nearly the end of her life, although she had always had poor eyesight. It’s not all that rare for humans to live past the age of 100, but it is rare for anyone to live to age 110 or beyond. But other animals have average lifespans that are much, much longer than that of humans. In episode 163 we talked about the Greenland shark, which can live for hundreds of years. The oldest Greenland shark examined was possibly as old as 512 years old, and the sharks may live much longer than that. It’s actually the longest-lived vertebrate known. No one’s sure which terrestrial vertebrate lives the longest, but it’s probably a tortoise. Giant tortoises are famous for their longevity, routinely living beyond age 100 and sometimes more than 200 years old. The difficulty of verifying a tortoise’s age is that to humans, tortoises all look pretty much alike and we don’t always know exactly when a particular tortoise was hatched. Plus, of course, we know even less about tortoises in the wild than we do ones kept in captivity. But probably the oldest known is an Aldabra giant tortoise that may have been 255 years old when it died in 2006. We talked about giant tortoises in episode 95. But for the really long-lived creatures, we have to look at the plant world. The oldest individual tree whose age we know for certain is a Great Basin bristlecone pine called Methuselah. Methuselah lives in the Inyo National Forest in the White Mountains in California, which of course is on the west coast of North America. In 1957 a core sample was taken from it and other bristlecone pines that grow in what’s called the ancient bristlecone pine forest. Many trees show growth rings in the trunk that make a pattern that’s easy to count, so the tree’s age is easy to determine as long as you have someone who is patient enough to count all the rings. Well, Methuselah was 4,789 years old in 1957. It probably germinated in 2833 BCE. Other trees in the forest were nearly as old, with at least one possibly older, but the sample from that older tree is lost and no one’s sure where the tree the sample came from is. Another bristlecone pine, called the Prometheus Tree, germinated even earlier than Methuselah, probably in 2880 BCE, but it’s now dead. A grad student cut it down in 1964, possibly by accident—stories vary and no one actually knows why he cut the tree down. The bristlecone pine is now a protected species. There are other trees estimated to be as old as Methuselah. This includes a yew in North Wales that may be 5,000 years old and is probably at least 4,000 years old, and a cypress in Iran that’s at least 2,

Update: Susannah Mushatt Jones passed away on May 12, 2016. She was 116 years and 311 days old.  While we sweat it out at spin class in the name of good health, the world’s oldest people drink whiskey, eat bacon, and chug Miller High Lifes with a side of Johnny Walker Blue. At least those are the life secrets we love to hear when we talk about supercentenarians — the exclusive group of people who live to be at least 110 years old. But the science is not that simple, and the lives of these super-survivors are proof. The oldest person recorded in history, a French woman named Jeanne Calment, lived to be 122 years old. Calment, who was born in 1875, lived a fairly easy, stress-free existence, according to Jean-Marie Robine, a French demographer who met her and studied the last years of her life. But the more significant marker of her longevity, he believes, is her direct ancestors who lived, on average, 22 years longer than expected. “So definitely, the gene pool [was] exceptional,” he said. Tom Perls, a physician and researcher who runs the New England Centenarian Study, has studied about 150 supercentenarians. He agrees: living an extremely long life probably has to do more with your DNA than what you drink. “It’s many complicated pathways that feed into what determines your rate of aging and your risk for age related diseases,” Perls said. Today, the oldest known living person in the world is a woman in Brooklyn, New York, and lives a fairly quiet life. At 116 years old, Susannah Mushatt Jones has watched the world go form streetcars to hoverboards; from President William McKinley to President Barack Obama, who is framed in a picture on her wall. Last July, she celebrated her birthday in style with the Brooklyn Nets, local politicians and a gigantic cake topped with (frosting) bacon, a food she eats every day because her doctor says, “why not?” But she doesn’t talk as much as she used to, and spends most of her days with caretakers and family in Brooklyn — waking up to a big plate of grits, eggs and bacon every morning. And she knows better than to credit the bacon for her extraordinary life. “I have no secret,” she said in a video two years ago. “I just live with my family. My family makes me happy.”

This is NEWS plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. Here is the news. Chinese doctors will be required to sign written commitments of not accepting any kickbacks or gifts from hospitalized patients beginning on May 1. A statement from the National Health and Family Planning Commission says hospitals will present this document to patients within 24 hours after they are hospitalized. Patients will also need to sign the paper and promise not to give extra money or gifts to doctors. In fear of being neglected or receiving poor treatment, many patients are inclined to give presents or money to their doctors in exchange for favor. Sometimes it will involve a large amount of money if the doctor is well-known and busy or the surgery is difficult. The statement says the move is expected to create a clean environment at hospitals and keep doctor-patient relations simple. Health departments will set up tip-off hotlines for those failing to do so, and commitment papers will be kept in archives for future inspection. This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. The world's largest human migration came to an end last week. February 24th marks an end of China's month long bittersweet travel period which started in Mid-January. As many as 3.6 billion trips were made during the Spring Festival travel period around the Chinese Lunar New Year which fell on January 31st this year. Around 270 million train trips were made, up 12 percent from a year ago. Journeys by highway stood at 3 billion, while those by air and water amounted to 86 million. Meanwhile, ticket shortages and traffic jams caused anxiety for many people. Official data showed that more than 90 million tickets were on sale each day during the travel period. The peak fell on Feb. 6, the last day of the Spring Festival holiday, when a record 8.4 million railway trips were made. Cai Tuan-jie, director of the Spring Festival transportation office, says it was difficult for people to get back home because of the vast number of passengers. This year's 3.6 billion trips set a new record. Since the reform and opening up three decades ago, rural migrant workers have shaped the Spring Festival travel rush. Experts say the surge in the number of trips demonstrated the country's ongoing urbanization. It mirrors China's fast pace of development. China is attracting private funds to help ease the country's stressed railway system. This is NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing. China's lunar rover Yutu has entered its third planned period of dormancy. The mechanical control issues that might cripple the vehicle are still unresolved. Yutu, the Jade Rabbit, only carried out fixed point observations during its third lunar day, equivalent to about two weeks on Earth. Its radar, panorama camera and infrared imaging equipment are functioning normally. The control issues that have troubled the rover since January persist. This is one of the oldest people in China, He Er'xiu, has died at the age of 117 in east China's Jiangxi Province. She passed away at her home in Wenshui Village in Yongxin County in the presence of about 100 descendants. She was born in January 1898 and had six children. Her husband died 53 years ago in 1961 at the age of 79. A village official says she was an outgoing woman and was clearheaded before she passed away. She drank rice wine made by her every day, and worked out regularly. That is believed to be her secret for long life. The Geriatric Society of China claimed in October last year that the oldest person in China is Alimihan Seyiti in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Seyiti was born on June 25, 1886, and is almost 128 years old. She is an ethnic Uygur living in Shule County in Xinjiang. If verified, Seyiti could be the oldest person in the world. She would beat the Guinness World Record of 122 years old set by Jeanne Calment from France. You're listening to NEWS Plus Special English, I'm Mark Griffiths in Beijing.

Now the news continues. The globe cozied up to the fourth warmest January on record this year, essentially leaving just the eastern half of the United States out in the cold. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says the Earth was almost 1.2 degrees warmer in January than the 20th century average. Since records began in 1880, only 2002, 2003 and 2007 started off warmer than this year. Almost all of Africa, South America and Australia, and most of Asia and Europe were considerably warmer than usual. China and France had their second warmest Januaries. Land in the entire Southern Hemisphere was hottest for January since record began. While more than half of America shivered in January, it was one of the few populated spots on Earth cooler than normal. The deep freeze of early January came from the polar vortex. The polar vortex is a high-altitude wind pattern that normally keeps Arctic air bottled up in northern Canada and around the North Pole. In January, a big chunk broke off and allowed that ultra-chilly air to meander south.

*The World Happiness Report ( http://worldhappiness.report/ed/2018/ ) is the ultimate authority on global happiness, ranking 156 countries by their happiness levels. It’s pretty interesting looking at the list of the Top 10 happiest countries in 2018, as determined by the latest study:* * Finland * Norway * Denmark * Iceland * Switzerland * Netherlands * Canada * New Zealand * Sweden * Australia Similarly, The Bloomberg Health Index ( https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-02-24/spain-tops-italy-as-world-s-healthiest-nation-while-u-s-slips ) ranks the healthiest countries in the world based on several factors, including life expectancy, health risks, availability of clean water, malnutrition, and causes of death. Here are the Top 10 healthiest countries in the world: * Italy * Iceland * Switzerland * Singapore * Australia * Spain * Japan * Sweden * Israel * Luxembourg I’ll add now that the US happens to rank as the #34 healthiest country, in large part due to its high levels of overweight and obese residents. If you prefer to look at just life expectancy as the primary metric for health, here are the countries that come out on top: * Hong Kong (84.3 years) * Japan (83.8 years) * Italy (83.5 years) * Spain (83.4 years) * Switzerland (83.2 years) * Iceland (82.9 years) * France (82.7 years) * Singapore (82.6 years) * Sweden (82.6 years) * Australia (82.5 years) Where does the US rank? At #37 in life expectancy, with an average of 78.7 years. Now, there are currently half a million centenarians living on the planet - but the highest concentrations of them reside in places with infamously high longevity, like the Okinawa in Japan, the Ikaria off of the coast of Greece, but not in the US...unless you count the Seventh-Day Adventists in Loma Linda, California. And it’s important to note that the groups who had recorded the highest rates of longevity also seem to be the ones who have let’s say, less than impressive record keeping practices...But still, there is plenty to learn from the groups of people who have had consistently impressive longevity. And what about the world’s oldest person, Jeanne Calment? Her diet consisted of beef, chocolate, red wine, and... a lot of cigarettes (well, she was French)...and yet, she lived to be 122 years old. Of course, you can’t discount genetics - and maybe Jeanne had a little extra something going on to help her make it to 122 (there’s a whole conspiracy theory regarding her daughter about that now), but at the same time, genes don’t always factor in as much as you think. This is why it drives me nuts when I’m at the doctor’s office and get asked questions like, “What’s your family history with heart disease?” Hello! Maybe my family was eating nasty hot dogs, smoking cigarettes, and living an all around trash lifestyle - you never know - so why would that be relevant to my health, when it’s so far removed from my current lifestyle? That’s not to say you should completely ignore your genes. If you have a genetic predisposition to obesity, heart disease, etc, then you better be on top of it - otherwise those adverse genetic factors will manifest into some serious health problems later on. But regardless of genetic predispositions, you don’t need to suffer from the same fate as your family. On the opposite end of this spectrum, if your parents and family members enjoyed long lives in spite of eating crap, smoking, and drinking too much, then that’s not an excuse to follow their example and expect that you can do the same and enjoy good health. No way! Your genes should inform your decisions, but not rule them. I wrap up with a very important warning, cautioning you to be extra, super-hypervigilant when it comes to your devices, earbuds, and EMF. We haven’t even begun to tap into all the negative effects of EMF and yet the influx of new products and improved, faster, shinier, brighter technology is on a never ending loop. Never mind the fact that it might be seriously terrible for your health! Check this out: Dave Asprey got a bone scan that showed his right femur had 20% less bone density than his left - and where does he carry his cell-phone? For years, it’s been in his right hand pocket. Coincidence? I think not. I’ll admit, even I broke down and got the wireless Apple earbuds, and while I’ve been happy to be free of that pesky chord that I always found myself tripping on or getting tangled up in, I can’t help but worry: am I sending EMF waves directly from my phone to my ears? I try to use them as sparingly as possible, but you never know… What I do know is this: the US didn’t place in the top 10 on any of these lists. Clearly, we are lagging behind, stuck in the very sorry space on that list, the mid-30s, and it’s time we climb up towards the top! At #37, we certainly have a long road ahead of us to catch up, but there’s nothing wrong with starting small...Share this episode with someone you know who could use a little inspiration to improve their happiness and/or health.
