It is necessary to bridge the gaps that exist in the law with respect to blood donation.

Today, the existing law does not fully meet the requirements. In it, for example, did not reflect international standards in the field of blood donation . For this reason, donor resources are spent effectively, do not use modern methods. Poor material and technical base of blood establishments. All these factors have led to a reduction in the number of donors. During the period from 1998 to 2007, the number Donor   in our country has decreased from 4 million. 1, 8 million people.

This type of change in the chromosomes (the structures that contain our genetic code) before been associated with lower risk of age-related diseases and an increase in life expectancy.

These conclusions scientists have received in the course of a pilot study in patients suffering from prostate cancer. They are equally applicable to men and women, though to confirm the required follow-up study. Now, to the attention of scholars were 35 patients with non-aggressive form of prostate cancer. They agreed to regular monitoring by doctors instead of conventional treatment.

10 men have to comply healthy lifestyle Including plant-based diet, moderate exercise, stress management and group sessions of psychological support. The other 25 patients did not change their lives. Researchers from California have measured the length of telomeres - the end portions of chromosomes that prevent DNA damage. With age, their length becomes shorter, the cells begin to grow old and die quickly.

It turned out that the men from the first group for 5 years healthy lifestyle   their telomeres lengthened by approximately 10%, thus having started up the aging process in the opposite direction. The men from the second group of telomere length over the same period declined by 3%. (READ MORE)

If the length of your telomeres increases, then you are not only anti-aging, but also reduces the risk of becoming victims of age-related diseases such as Type II diabetes, heart and lung diseases, and certain types of cancer. "

The researchers examined genetic information on 51 patients before and after gastroshuntirovaniya. Three-quarters of the patients were female and their average age was 49 years. On average, patients lost after the surgery to 71% overweight. The level of inflammation in their bodies decreased by more than 60%.
