It also showed increased insulin levels in human cells, “signaling a resetting and restoring of metabolism from poor to healthy.”

www.postindependent.com/opinion/how-are-creativity-and-longevity-connected/Norman Cousins included a chapter on creativity and longevity in his book “Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient” first published in 1983. In it, he profiled two creative geniuses who were friends with each other, cellist Pablo Casals and physician and musician Albert Schweitzer. Both were octogenarians when Cousins met them and “were fully creative — almost explosively so.” Cousins described Casals’ daily routine as evidence of the power of creativity on the body as well as the mind. Nearing age 90, Casals looked like an old man when he started his day. He needed help getting dressed, was seriously stooped and walked with a shuffle. He had arthritis and emphysema. But Cousins described Don Pablo’s physical transformation when he went to the piano to play Bach, which is how he started every day (he had learned several musical instruments before he started playing the cello). “His entire body seemed fused with the music; it was no longer stiff and shrunken but supple and graceful and completely freed of its arthritic coils,” Cousins wrote. He observed that the positive physical effects of Casals being “caught up in his own creativity” were as pronounced as the negative effects of chronic stress ————- “There is a fountain of youth: it is your mind, your talents, the creativity you bring to your life and the lives of people you love. When you learn to tap this source, you will truly have defeated age.” — Sophia Loren

www.today.com/health/100-year-old-ballet-teacher-shares-secrets-long-life-diet-t162348Danton credits constant movement as a dancer as one of the main factors that's kept him healthy and helped him reach the age of 100. “I really, absolutely believe exercise is the answer to everything,” he said. Swimming is the best workout after ballet, Danton said. He still gets some of his exercise from teaching and composing his class for the day. He also has an extensive morning routine centered on a deep tissue massage he gives himself before getting out of bed. Starting with his scalp, then moving down to his neck, shoulders, arms, legs and feet, the one-hour-plus massage stimulates blood circulation, Danton noted “With your thumb, you go as deep as you can into the muscle,” he said. “It works because my body is in incredible condition for my age.” Because he massages each body part a certain number of times, which he has to count, Danton said he has to concentrate in a way that helps his mind stay active. Another part of his busy morning routine involves stretching with an elastic resistance band. After all his morning exercises, he said he never eats breakfast before 11 a.m ——- www.today.com/health/100-year-old-dance-teacher-shares-longevity-tips-exercise-olive-t163445“Deane moves every day, starting with stretches in her bed in the morning, followed by a series of exercises that include a whole jazz warm-up. Then, it’s time to go to the studio and teach dance. She believes everyone should take ballet to get the foundation of movement. She personally loves jazz dance. The great-grandmother thinks anybody can live a long life as long as they keep moving”

www.anthropologyfromtheshed.com/ochre-an-ancient-health-giving-cosmeticOchre: an ancient health-giving cosmetic In Noongar culture wilgi (or wilgie, wilghee) as a bodily emollient was used for many different purposes including as a skin protectant shielding the body from the adverse effects of the sun’s ultraviolet rays. The photo-protective properties of red ochre have been confirmed by recent experiments conducted by an international team of scientists.2 The dense greasy covering of wilgi provided insulation during the cold, wet and windy seasons, while during the heat of summer it functioned as a humectant reducing moisture loss from the skin. Wilgi may be likened to a protective layer of clothing. The skin is as soft as the finest velvet. This is probably caused to some extent by the use of wilghee – an unguent composed of red-ochre and grease – with which they anoint themselves. A supply of wilghee is generally carried by the women in their bags for the use of the party that they encamp in the evening. They then rub it over their faces and often over the whole body as they sit round their fires.’ (Philip Chauncy in Brough Smyth 1878: 238) Philip Chauncy, assistant government surveyor at the Swan River colony in the 1840’s, describes the detrimental consequences to his Noongar friend Weeban’s skin after he had been prevented from wearing wilghee during his period of imprisonment at Rottnest Island. Chauncy writes: ‘The colour of the skin was a sort of iron-grey unlike natives I have seen. This was because he had not been allowed any grease to anoint himself with in accordance with the custom of both men and women.’ (Chauncy in Brough Smyth 1878: 276). A number of Aboriginal prisoners died at Rottnest as a result of heatstroke and exposure to the cold, having been prevented by prison authorities from using ochre and grease to protect themselves. —— www.aulis.com/twothirds8.htmIs it any wonder that science and orthodoxy shun these findings, so clearly threatening, as they do, the complete destruction of currently held orthodox views of man and his evolution? For the orthodox view is that the release of manpower for community tasks other than those of basic food-gathering and survival occurred for the first time only a few thousand years ago, in south-east Europe, in the context of the first developments of agriculture and animal husbandry. Mining, specifically, is considered to have begun around 5000 BC.

(3) His new research on Longevity Vitamins should interest everyone. Dr. Ames has extended his “Triage Theory” into a broader concept of nutrient needs for longevity beyond the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) needed for growth www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1809045115Longevity vitamins and proteins

www.astateofflo.com/p/the-biological-basis-for-musicThe Biological Basis For Music "Nature is imagination itself" - exploring music composition via biosonification, bioelectrical music, nature-connectedness. Supporting The Earth as a co-composer sacred-texts.com/eso/sta/sta19.htmPythagoras evinced such a marked preference for stringed instruments that he even went so far as to warn his disciples against allowing their ears to be defiled by the sounds of flutes or cymbals. He further declared that the soul could be purified from its irrational influences by solemn songs sung to the accompaniment of the lyre. In his investigation of the therapeutic value of harmonics, Pythagoras discovered that the seven modes--or keys--of the Greek system of music had the power to incite or allay the various emotions. It is related that while observing the stars one night he encountered a young man befuddled with strong drink and mad with jealousy who was piling faggots about his mistress' door with the intention of burning the house. The frenzy of the youth was accentuated by a flutist a short distance away who was playing a tune in the stirring Phrygian mode. Pythagoras induced the musician to change his air to the slow, and rhythmic Spondaic mode, whereupon the intoxicated youth immediately became composed and, gathering up his bundles of wood, returned quietly to his own home. There is also an account of how Empedocles, a disciple of Pythagoras, by quickly changing the mode of a musical composition he was playing, saved the life of his host, Anchitus, when the latter was threatened with death by the sword of one whose father he had condemned to public execution. It is also known that Esculapius, the Greek physician, cured sciatica and other diseases of the nerves by blowing a loud trumpet in the presence of the patient. Pythagoras cured many ailments of the spirit, soul, and body by having certain specially prepared musical compositions played in the presence of the sufferer or by personally reciting short selections from such early poets as Hesiod and Homer. In his university at Crotona it was customary for the Pythagoreans to open and to close each day with songs--those in the morning calculated to clear the mind from sleep and inspire it to the activities of the coming day; those in the evening of a mode soothing, relaxing, and conducive to rest. At the vernal equinox, Pythagoras caused his disciples to gather in a circle around one of their number who led them in song and played their accompaniment upon a lyre. The therapeutic music of Pythagoras is described by Iamblichus thus: "And there are certain melodies devised as remedies against the passions of the soul, and also against despondency and lamentation, which Pythagoras invented as things that afford the greatest assistance in these maladies. And again, he employed other melodies against rage and anger, and against every aberration of the soul. There is also another kind of modulation invented as a remedy against desires." (See The Life of Pythagoras.) www.crystalinks.com/harmonyspheres.htmlMusic of the stars' now louder BBC - February 19, 2011 The Kepler space telescope measures the sizes and ages of stars five times better than any other means - when it "listens" to the sounds they make - called "astroseismology". The technique measures minuscule variations in a star's brightness that occur as soundwaves bounce within it. Using resonances, we can literally build up a picture of what the inside of a star looks like ”I’ve tried a number of religions and gurus in my time, including Buddhism, but ultimately they didn’t do as much for my peace of mind as snooker.” —Ronnie O'Sullivan

They call them agrihoods, short for agricultural neighbourhoods. Part of a rebirth of the WWII “victory gardens” tradition that began ten years ago, the Urban Land Institute defines agrihoods as: master-planned housing communities with working farms as their focus. Overwhelmingly, they have large swaths of green space, orchards, hoop houses and greenhouses, and some with barns, outdoor community kitchens, and environmentally sustainable homes decked with solar panels and composting.
