Have you heard all about CBD recently? From treating pain to managing anxiety, CBD has numerous emotional and physical health benefits associated with it.
But, did you know that it can also be beneficial the furry friend in your life? That’s right! CBD oil for pets also yields many similar benefits.
Let’s get into what you need to know.
What Is CBD Oil For Pets?
You’ve probably seen the term everywhere, but do you actually know what CBD oil is and what it does?
In a nutshell, it is a liquid derived from marijuana plants. Marijuana plants contain over 80 different cannabinoids. That means there are many ways to extract oil from these plants.
Although many confuse the two terms, CBD is not THC. Most CBD oil products are derived from hemp (the fibrous portion of the plant).
Manufacturers use the hemp because it has higher CBD concentrations with limited THC levels.
Therefore, CBD is ‘part’ of marijuana. However, it’s not the ‘part’ of marijuana most people typically think of when they think of the stereotypical marijuana.

Doctors Best Weight Loss began in December 2008 as a small, online store for basic weight loss food products. Not long after, we developed our three flagship brands NutriWise, Protiwise, and Doctors Best Weight Loss. We were committed to making sure these brands used top-quality formulations. Our customers were able to stop paying the high prices offered at weight loss clinics, and instead get the same products for a fraction of the cost by buying from us.
MAKING NEW STRIDES
We have grown exponentially in the last 10 years, gaining more and more brands to bring you all of the best weight loss products we can find. We have helped thousands of people worldwide reach their weight loss goals and are constantly developing new resources to help you be the best YOU. We have recently gained the help our an in-house Nutritionist to help our customers find out exactly what products they need to succeed.
Even in environments with low air pollution, long term exposure to traffic exhaust near people’s homes may heighten their risk of stroke, according to a new study from Sweden. The culprit appears to be a fine particle air pollutant called black carbon.
Vehicle Exhaust
The researchers came to this conclusion after investigating links between exposure to different types of particulate matter and rates of heart disease and stroke in three cities in Sweden.
The authors write that they observed “few consistent associations” between heart disease and stroke and different types of particulate matter and their sources.
Black carbon and particulate matter
Black carbon is a sooty material that comes from burning fossil fuels. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is a significant component of fine particle air pollution.
Vehicle and other engines that run on gas and diesel and power plants that run on coal and other fossil fuels emit black carbon along with other particulate matter.
Road traffic is the primary source of black carbon emissions in cities.
Scientists have tied black carbon inhalation to respiratory conditions, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and birth abnormalities.
Dr. Ljungman and colleagues from Karolinska Institutet and other research centers in Sweden used data on 114,758 people who were participants in other studies that had collected information about cardiovascular risk factors from examinations and questionnaires.
The participants, who lived in three cities in Sweden, were healthy and middle-aged at recruitment. The study period started in 1990 and lasted for around 20 years. The dataset included the history of the participants‘ residential addresses over the period.
Over the 20 years of follow-up, 5,166 individuals developed ischemic heart disease, and 3,119 experienced strokes.
Using emissions databases and dispersion models, the team estimated how much each type of emission source contributed to particulate matter, including black carbon, at specific residential addresses.
The sources that they included in the analysis were traffic exhaust, road wear, and residential heating. They included data for two grades of particulate matter: coarse, which includes particles under 10 micrometers (10μm) in diameter (PM10), and fine, which includes particles under 2.5 μm in diameter (PM2.5). Black carbon counts as PM2.5.

New research suggests it is possible to slow or even reverse aging, at least in mice, by undoing changes in gene activity—the same kinds of changes that are caused by decades of life in humans.
By tweaking genes that turn adult cells back into embryoniclike ones, researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies reversed the aging of mouse and human cells in vitro, extended the life of a mouse with an accelerated-aging condition and successfully promoted recovery from an injury in a middle-aged mouse, according to a study published Thursday in Cell.
The study adds weight to the scientific argument that aging is largely a process of so-called epigenetic changes, alterations that make genes more active or less so. Over the course of life cell-activity regulators get added to or removed from genes. In humans those changes can be caused by smoking, pollution or other environmental factors—which dial the genes’ activities up or down. As these changes accumulate, our muscles weaken, our minds slow down and we become more vulnerable to diseases.
The new study suggests the possibility of reversing at least some of these changes, a process researchers think they may eventually get to work in living humans. “Aging is something plastic that we can manipulate,” says Juan Carlos Izpisua Belmonte, the study’s senior author and an expert in gene expression at Salk. In their study Belmonte and his colleagues rejuvenated cells by turning on, for a short period of time, four genes that have the capacity to convert adult cells back into an embryoniclike state.
In living mice they activated the four genes (known as “Yamanaka factors,” for researcher Shinya Yamanaka, the Nobelist who discovered their combined potential in 2006). This approach rejuvenated damaged muscles and the pancreas in a middle-aged mouse, and extended by 30 percent the life span of a mouse with a genetic mutation responsible for Hutchinson–Gilford progeria syndrome, which causes rapid aging in children.
Because the Yamanaka factors reverse changes made to gene regulators, some scientists see the study as further evidence that aging is driven by epigenetic changes. “I do think that epigenetic reprogramming is the ultimate way to reverse aging,” says David Sinclair, a Harvard University geneticist and anti-aging researcher who was not involved in the study but is doing similar work. “My lab has a lot of evidence that the primary driver of what we call the hallmarks of aging is the epigenetic change.” Sinclair says his lab is preparing a paper explaining what causes these changes as we age.
The Salk study was conducted on middle-aged mice. But in theory, reprogramming epigenetics should work on mice and people at any age, says first author Alejandro Ocampo, adding that even cells from human centenarians could eventually be rejuvenated. He and Belmonte say they think they can improve the efficiency and results of the technique with more research—and that they can undo the epigenetic changes responsible for aging by using easier-to-handle chemicals instead of the Yamanaka factors, hopefully moving toward the possibility of treatment for people.
Matt Kaeberlein, a molecular biologist at the University of Washington who studies aging but was not part of the work, says other researchers have found that the Yamanaka factors can rejuvenate cells—so in some ways this study is not surprising. But Kaeberlein says no one else had yet shown that the factors can treat age-related diseases in an animal by making the same changes. “That’s the wow factor,” he explains.
Kaeberlein says the study suggests it may be possible not just to slow aging but to actually reverse it. “That’s really exciting—that means that even in elderly people it may be possible to restore youthful function,” he says. Plus, it is easier to imagine a treatment that makes changes to the epigenome than to consider going into every cell and changing its genes. He also notes that the results of the new study are very similar to those seen when senescent cells—those that have lost function due to aging—are removed from an organism. It is not yet clear, he says, whether “this is another way to shut down or maybe reprogram senescent cells.”
This is a story about Helmut Strebl. If you’ve not heard about this man before, then let me remind you that he’s the same ripped guy whose pictures are seen doing round on the internet, accompanied with captions like ‘world’s most ripped man’ and Mr. Shredder. A look at his pictures and you can’t contest the names given to this man. His extremely low body fat percentage is a testament of what can be achieved with decades of hard work and dedication coupled with good genetics. He has competed and modelled for almost two decades now and is well known for his motivational speeches apart from a godly ripped physique. Here’s his story.
Helmut is not a usual bodybuilder who gets into shape before an event. He maintains the same level of conditioning throughout the year. He weighs 205 to 215 at a height of 6’3′ all year round with a body fat percentage of around 4 to 5 percent. He is a bodybuilder and a model by profession who has competed in many events and even featured in a music video with Madonna.
He first competed at the Mr. World 1996, where he ranked 11th. The same year he went on to become Mr. Austria 1996. Thereafter he appeared for many natural bodybuilding competitions like Muscle Mania and European Natural Bodybuilding Championships. He has even won these titles more than half a dozen of times. His latest trophy was that of the Miami Pro World Championship, 2014. In the same competition, he was also crowned best muscle model over 40.
