AGING IS NOT LINEAR AND HAS TWO TIMES IT CHANGES RADICALLY
We’ve always said here that the body goes along for a while then changes (usually when someone comes in for cosmetic surgery). Well, science has verified it in a recent study from Stanford Medicine. A study published in Nature aging, found that “the prevalence of aging-related diseases and mortality risk accelerates after specific time points, indicating the importance of studying nonlinear molecular changes.”
They performed a study of 108 individuals aged 25 to 75 and followed them for a median of 1.7 years with a maximum of 6.8 years. They assessed thousands of molecules including RNA, proteins and metabolites and their microsomes, the collection of bacteria, viruses and fungi that live on and inside us.
(Did You Know? 81% of the molecules studied displayed nonlinear fluctuations.)
Substantial dysregulation occurred at approximately 44 years and 60 years of age. Distinct molecules and functional pathways were associated with these. The 44-year transition included changes in skin and muscle, cardiovascular disease, lipids, alcohol and caffeine metabolism. This occurred even when menopause was excluded as a factor and men had the same effects. The 60-year-olds had changes in immune regulation and carbohydrate and caffeine metabolism, kidney function and also cardiovascular disease.
This is perhaps why many people gain weight at certain ages. It also may demonstrate that conditions like Alzheimer’s and cardiovascular disease are a sharp rather than steady rise.
LA DOLCE VITA, JOIE DE VIVRE:
Shrimp (or chicken) Pasta Salad:
In keeping with healthy, simple light summer meals, this pasta salad can be made with chicken instead of shrimp and other pastas if orzo doesn’t suit you or isn’t in your cupboard.
Cook 1 cup orzo according to package. While cooking whisk together 1 minced shallot, ½ cup olive oil, ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes (I see no reason diced cherry tomatoes couldn’t be used), ¼ cup fresh dill, 2 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 11/2 tsp. Dijon mustard, ½ tsp. minced garlic, 1 tsp. salt and ½ tsp. pepper. Add to this 1 lb. of cooked shrimp, 8-oz. feta cheese cut in cubes, and 1 cup of sliced cucumber (preferably English) cut in half-moons. Add orzo and toss. Garnish with additional dill.
