Sexy, Youthful Aging

Most would do a double take on this picture. This is 69 year-old Dr. Jeffry Life, Chief Medical Officer of Cenegenics Medical Institute. His body looks like that of a 30 year-old.

For men, having a young wife ( or wives better) helps keep him youthful. So says the myth. It may be with this believe that a number of Malay men marry women many years younger following a divorce.

But Cenegenics Medical Institute has a proven prescription for youthful aging. Not only does the anti-aging regimen helps people stay young and healthy, but it also gives an increase in energy, muscle and libido.

What's in the regime? Human growth hormone six times a week,weekly testosterone injections, in addition to swallowing a handful of dietary supplements every day.

Now, in one of the largest and most careful studies so far of human growth hormone in healthy older people, researchers find that it can markedly transform older people's bodies. The effects were potent. Those who took the drug gained lean body mass, much of which is likely to be muscle, and lost fat as if they had been working out in a gym, lifting weights and doing aerobic exercise. Some men gained 10 pounds of lean body mass and lost an equivalent amount of fat. Yet the subjects, who ranged in age from their mid-60's to their late 80's, were sedentary and did not exercise or change their diets.

What for? Those on the prescription say makes them feel better, more energetic, clear-minded. They want to live long, healthy life, to be able to get out and be active and travel and see the world and be able to make a difference in other people's lives, then yes, to have as long an existence as possible.

It's good business! IMS Health, a company that tracks drug sales, prescriptions for growth hormone made by Genentech and Eli Lilly have more than tripled.

Jennifer Aniston Naked at 40

Maintaining good physique even in our forties and beyond isn't difficult. Actually doing the maintaining is the difficult part. While there are many books and mags that give us 101 Ways to maintain lean body and to stay healthy, the reality is that we don't need those 101 Ways prescriptions at all. Here's the ABCs of it all and of Jennifer Aniston's naked truth:

A. Sweat it out. Exercise regularly with intensity at least 3 times a week, each time for at least 60 minutes intense workout.

B. Eat well. Small portions of meals with less carbohydrates. Avoid the roti canai, fried noodles, fried rice, rendang, oil-loaded curries, etc.

C. Practice A and B consistently everyday.

Would we want to burden our loved ones at old age or when we suffer chronic disease associated with our eating habits and sedentary lifestyle? When we suffer, so do our loved ones.

Love your body first before you can say that you love somebody.

Women of Mass Influence - Sa Dingding

Unnervingly good-looking, she's China’s most in-demand musical property. Twelve months ago, she was hardly known. Then she recorded Alive, an album that mixes traditional Chinese melodies and Buddhist mantras with electronic instruments.

Sa Dingding, the new age chanteuse, is one global export that in many ways echoes the Beijing Olympic fantasy of "One World. One Dream."

Born in 1983, the daughter of a Mongolian mother and Han father, she grew up a nomad. She sings in Mandarin, Tibetan, Sanskrit, and the rare dialect of Lagu, while fusing chill-out beats and floaty instrumentation played on zither, horse head fiddle and bamboo flute.

In terms of popularity, can we compare her to Siti Nurhaliza? Not only is Sa Dingding hugely popular in China, she is also finding similar success elsewhere: Her first album sold 2 million copies in Southeast Asia, and she has appeared on MTV. Earlier this year she won a BBC Radio 3 World Music Award and performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
