Fewer calories than we consume, the slower we age

Reducing caloric intake only 300-500 calories slows the aging process and prolong life, scientists say. Scientists conducted a study on mice and found that the decrease in daily caloric food intake slows the aging process. According to experts, this can given by the reduction of calories per day, and reduces the illustrated production of the hormone triiodothyronine, which leads to a slower metabolism, and thus slow down the aging of tissues. The researchers found that a person is the production of this hormone decreases in the regular failure of sweet desserts, fat turkey and Big Macs and fries. The results of the studies show that calorie restriction reduces the synthesis of triiodothyronine not only in animals but also in humans, said Dr. Edward Veyss. The next stage of the study was to evaluate changes in human tissues, depending on the number of calories consumed. Scientists have divided the participants into two experimental groups. The first group was reduced in calories in the daily diet of 300-500 calories remained, volunteers from the second group on the same diet and exercise regularly. People in both groups significantly reduced body weight. The decrease of the thyroid hormone has been noted only in the first group of subscribers. Although the final results are still unknown about aging, experts believe that reducing calories in the diet up to 300-500 calories a day - not a bad idea.

New liquid oral kills bacteria in the light

Scientists have. Liquid for oral, which reports the bacteria destroyed generated under the influence of bright light, the BBC The operating principle of the liquid is the same as some treatments for skin cancer. According to the specialists of the Institute of Dentistry, Leeds Dental Institute, this method can be used for three years in the house, for example, the application of a strong light on the head of the toothbrush. Experts believe that the use of a liquid, which, when exposed to light bacteria, also very helpful for people who have difficulty, kills with a toothbrush. Antibacterial molecules in the liquid activated by contact with bright light, kill the bacteria, said the expert. The same group of scientists involved in the development of the means to "fix" the enamel that help grow new enamel is. Experts believe that this will reduce the need for drilling and filling teeth. These two studies led by Professor Jennifer Kirkham.
