This open access paper discusses a secondary issue in the aging of the adaptive immune system. Of primary concern is that the supply of new T cells diminishes over time, due to the atrophy of the thymus where such cells mature, as well as due to issues in the hematopoietic system of the bone marrow where such cells are produced. As noted here, a secondary concern is that the population of unspecialized naive T cells needed to respond effectively to novel threats begins to have issues maintaining itself in readiness. So not only is the supply of new naive T cells reduced to a tiny fraction of youthful levels, but the population present at any given time corrodes into ineffectiveness more rap…

Major depressive disorder, more commonly known as depression, is all too prevalent a part of the human condition. Like many aspects of brain function, a great many layered mechanisms are investigated and debated by the research community, while still being poorly understood as a whole. Pharmaceutical treatments for depression are actually quite good for those people that they work for, but finding the right treatment can be a haphazard, experimental journey of years and different approaches for those who suffer. We might suspect that these treatments are essentially compensatory in nature, touching on mechanisms (such as serotonin levels) that are somewhat downstream from root causes.

There are any number of studies to demonstrate that older people are more sedentary than they can be or should be, and that this lack of physical activity has a meaningful negative impact on health and mortality risk. In this example, researchers report on the improved functional status observed in a study population as a result of lifestyle interventions such as structured exercise programs. We happen to be fortunate enough to live in an era of comparative comfort and indolence, enabled by progress in technology. It is up to the individual as to whether or not to accept the incidental harms along with the considerable benefits of progress. Being sedentary is a choice for the vast majority of those who live that lifestyle.

“Beneath every behavior there is a feeling. And beneath each feeling is a need. And when we meet that need, rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom.” ~Ashleigh Warner
Do you ever wonder what creates anxiety and why so many people are anxious?
Anxiety doesn’t just come from a thought we’re thinking, it comes from inside our body—from our internal patterning, where unresolved trauma, deep shame, and painful experiences are still “running.”
It often comes from false underlying beliefs that say, “Something’s wrong with me, I’m flawed, I’m bad, I’m wrong, I don’t belong.”
