Are you impatient? You might be aging faster due to shorter telomeres. Researchers discovered that women who scored as more impatient on a common psychology test have cells that show signs of more rapid aging. In a new study conducted by National University of Singapore, researchers reveal that for young women seeking longevity, just a little more patience may help you live longer. In their paper published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the team describes the results they found. Researchers investigated the possible long-term health consequences of patience in a large group of 1,158 healthy young participants. The participants were asked a series of questions that involved instant or delayed contentment. In fact, participants had to play an economic game in which […] Read More

No one has found a replacement or substitute treatment for the bends that works as well as oxygen. HBOT results in a 95 percent acute treatment cure rate for DCS in all of the navies of the world. Combining HBOT with other therapies that help brain-injured patients enhances the effect of those treatments and […] Read More
