Best Eye Vitamins

It’s not a new fact that with age comes several problems, especially if you don’t take care of yourself. This applies to eyesight as well; as you grow old, the chances of you facing vision-related problems are high. And unfortunately, some people do suffer from one or more vision-related issues.

But there is a way in which this problem can be overcome. Several supplements are available to help you improve your vision, and they can help you address vision-related issues in a much more efficient manner. There are several vision-related problems, and likewise, there are supplements that tackle multiple vision problems and provide you with relief.

But the harsh truth is that not every supplement is made the same, meaning not all supplements are safe to use. This is the main reason why people are a little skeptical about purchasing any kind of dietary supplement.

Nano-engineered sealer leads to more durable concrete

A nanomaterials-engineered penetrating sealer developed by Washington State University researchers is able to better protect concrete from moisture and salt—the two most damaging factors in crumbling concrete infrastructure in northern states.

The novel sealer showed a 75% improvement in repelling water and a 44% improvement in reducing salt damage in laboratory studies compared to a commercial sealer. The work could provide an additional way to address the challenge of aging bridges and pavements in the U.S.

“We focused on one of the main culprits that compromises the integrity and durability of concrete, which is moisture,” said Xianming Shi, professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering who led the work. “If you can keep concrete dry, the vast majority of durability problems would go away.”

Some People think Life Extension is “Just a Fear of Death”

Sometimes those working in the field of rejuvenation biotechnology face the accusation that what they are doing is just a fear of death, like not being scared of age-related diseases is somehow brave.

War used to be fashionable but now it isn’t

These days, war is not really portrayed in a very good light. When we think about war, we think about genocide, mass murder, and slaughter, and we call for an end to it. The popular sentiment is that war is bad and we should just do away with it.

The Dog Aging Project Will Study Longevity in 60,000 Pups

Our furry friends are about to fetch new answers to the tough problem of longevity.

The Dog Aging Project (DAP), launched in 2018, is recruiting tens of thousands of loyal canine companions for a comprehensive study. The open-sourced collaborative project, expected to last ten years, has ambitious goals: tackle the thorny problem of what contributes to aging, and test ways to prolong healthy longevity.

Aside from its massive scale—it’s the largest data-gathering program of its kind—the project stands out in that it eschews the usual method of using lab animals, grown in carefully-controlled environments and often inbred. Instead, DAP is recruiting dogs from across the country, with a smorgasbord of breeds, ages, and environments.
