I have friends now, unfortunately-and I feel very bad for them-they have stopped changing,

New findings from Harvard researchers pinpoint reduced inflammation as the key to cocoa's effects against cardiovascular disease. The work follows a large probe of the possible health benefits of cocoa that ran from 2014 to 2020. Called COSMOS, the study showed that cocoa supplements reduced cardiovascular disease mortality by 27 percent among 21,442 subjects 60 and older. What that study didn't explain is how.

So sorry not to have mentioned it but when you receive this email we will have "shuffled off this mortal coil". The decision was mutual and without any outside pressure.

Fricker said she spends every day in pain and gets out of breath just talking, stating: "I've never known tiredness ever in my life".

"I'm having a dreadful death," Fricker told The Guardian. "I'm just dying - every day in pain," she said, wryly adding: "I'll probably live to be 100."

It's easy to be drawn in by fancy bottles, or to grab something from the top shelf with a hefty price tag and assume that the cost means it will be delicious. Sometimes this is true, but there are also plenty of bottom-shelf bourbons worth drinking.

When I did eventually get the test, I found out what was really happening to me. I learned that a build-up of earwax ( don't use Q-tips!) had immobilized one of my eardrums completely. After the somewhat uncomfortable removal, the test was rerun. I do have some hearing loss, which isn't unusual at 72, but the audiologist feels I'm years away from needing hearing aids.

The social aspect of music may be beneficial for your brain, too. Corbett also told Newsweek that the singers in the study had better complex task completion as they aged. But the study noted that the benefits that come with singing may also have to do with the social connections that are formed when singing with a choir or in a group setting. "Music doesn't usually happen in isolation," Fesharaki-Zadeh said. Think about it: Music is often played in a group, practiced with a teacher or performed for other people. That social interaction is one of those protective factors for brain health, he added.

When injuries or infections occur, the immune system mounts a protective response by releasing cells and proteins to affected tissues. This complex cascade is called inflammation. But as we age, inflammation gradually increases and becomes persistent instead of being a state that occurs only when things go wrong. Among the cells that that help to regulate this inflammageing are a variety of macrophages - white blood cells that hoover up pathogens and cellular debris - that reside in fat tissue.

"I've let my body down. I haven't taken care of it. I have to walk with a walker now. I wish I'd done exercise. It's the most ghastly waste of time, except that it keeps you going. So, I'm foolish."

Hangover, a virtually pandemic ailment, can produce physical discomfort and existential dread. After a night of excess, recovery may involve anxiety and regret about past actions.

The study reveals that injecting the DNA messenger protein HMGB1 from an older individual in healthy cells causes accelerated aging and senescence.

As we age and experience the death of parents and peers, we become increasingly aware of our mortality. Such awareness may trigger anxiety and prompt preparations, such as writing wills and advance directives.
