DATE : | Aug. 18th, 2011 @ 4PM | ABSTRACT: | The two major preventable risks for health are smoking and poor diets. These are lifestyle risks, which can be changed. Smoking shortens the lifespan by about 8 years on average (2 packs/day), and a poor diet is likely to have even a more significant negative impact on lifespan. A “balanced” diet is important for minimizing the diseases of aging; understanding balance could benefit almost all of us. Dr. Ames will discuss how, through his work and that of others, nutrition is now being put on a firmer scientific foundation than ever before. This understanding will lead to medicine that is more prevention-oriented for age-related diseases, and to inexpensive nutritional and other interventions to delay the degenerative diseases accompanying aging, such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, stroke, and immune dysfunction. |
