June
17, 2008 – The death of Tim Russert was a shocker to the world and the
cause of his death – heart attack - shortly after passing a stress test,
has left many senior citizens scratching their heads. Seniors, more
sensitive to news about heart attack deaths than most, have been a buzz
about the mystery. A better understanding may come from looking at a
report on a new gadget approved by the FDA in April that tells us more
about the killer plaque laying in wait inside our arteries and a
statement issued yesterday by the CEO of the company that makes it.
Giant cells that destroy bacteria often found in
temporal arterities that usually hits at age 70, can lead to Polymyalgia
rheumatica
June 4, 2008 – Scientists have long maintained
senior citizens can extend their lives by strict adherence to a diet
that rigidly restricts calorie intake. Now, scientists may have
discovered how to accomplish this without starving yourself. It is a
choice most seniors will gladly choose over severe calorie restriction –
drinking red wine. A new study says low doses of the resveratrol in red
wine may achieve the same longevity results as starvation dieting.
