“Aging is dauntingly complex from the basic science perspective, but less so from the biomedical one. We are on the threshold of the development of genuine anti-aging drugs—pharmaceutical and genetic therapies that, jointly, can rationally be expected to postpone and even reverse age-related degeneration in humans and thereby markedly extend healthy lifespan. The market for such treatments will without doubt dwarf anything that medicine has ever seen; those with the vision and determination to spearhead this advance will be richly rewarded.”
Ginkgo Biloba not useful to keep sharp mind in old age”
According to the latest study conducted by University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville, consumption of ginkgo biloba drug which is said to keep mind sharp at older age doesn't restrict the cognition decline. Ginkgo biloba is believed to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that protect cell membranes and help govern the workings of the brain's chemical messengers or neurotransmitters.
Researchers added that gingko was fairly safe but it didn't seem to do anything to slow down the cognitive changes of aging. Earlier results from the same study had found that ginkgo did not prevent or slow the development of Alzheimer's. But there is a large body of previously published evidence which suggests that ginkgo biloba is effective for improving cognitive impairment in older adults.
