Anti-Aging: fact or fiction?

Sisel

Aging is a condition due to decay and degeneration of the cells. If these aging processes could be slowed or even reversed, it means that we would be able to slow and even reverse the effects of aging.

If these aging processes could be slowed or even reversed, it means that we would be able to slow and even reverse the effects of aging. Recent research suggests this is possible by undoing changes in gene activity—the same kinds of changes that are caused by decades of life in humans.

The A.G.E. Pill from Sisel International builds upon a major scientific breakthrough by University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers. This NASA funded research was conducted to assist in protecting astronauts from cellular damage while on their mission to Mars. Researchers found that a compound called NAD+ plays a key role in protecting our bodies from cellular damage. (Read more about this research on agepillsuccess.com and scientificamerican.com).

Children seem to have boundless energy to go all day long. As we grow older, our stem cells become cluttered with cellular garbage causing decay and degeneration that lead to aging. (Stem cells are the master cells in our body that are able to transform every other cell and energize our biological systems.) By providing specialized super nutrients to the stem cells the natural processes of the body operate more efficiently and so slow this decay and degeneration.

The ingredients in the A.G.E. Pill supercharge this process and provide mainly three classes of advanced super nutrients to the stem cells, delivering intense support for:
1. Removal of glycation build-ups that inhibit intercellular proteins.
2. Reduction of toxins and cellular sludge resulting from lipofuscin.
3. Increase in ATP, providing biological hydrogen to help amplify cellular energy.

This could help you too to do what you want to do and be what you want to be, being revitalized and feeling youthful again.

Communications Team from Auckland Council

Panels now cover large sections of the roof at the complex, with the solar energy generated replacing the gas that was used to heat the water, creating a significant saving in the fuel bill while making use of a free sustainable energy source.

A serious message about online challenges. Think Before you Scare

Aaron from Manurewa

What should we do with online challenges and scare shares? No doubt you have heard about ‘that thing”  on the news and social media recently.

What should we do with online challenges and scare shares? No doubt you have heard about ‘that thing”  on the news and social media recently.


The best thing to do is not to talk about it. The more we share the more damage we create.


“Whilst sharing warning about specific risks, apps or trends is often done with good intentions; it can pose risks. Sharing content, either electronically or otherwise, that is unverified or unrealistic can unintentionally have harmful consequences. A blog post which explores how adults such as school, parents or other agencies, responding to viral stories with a rushed response can cause additional issues is available on Cybertrauma, a blog by Cath Knibbs, a Child & Adult Psychotherapist. Below is an edited letter template from scareletter.lgfl.net.”


I have also have a poster to easily share with others.


Stay safe!


Aaron



4 March 2019
Dear parent/carer,

Seeing and sharing scary things online

Keeping children safe is a top priority for everyone, whether on school premises or beyond, and this of course extends to the online world (although actually our online and offline lives are so blurred that it’s not always helpful to use this distinction).

In all we do, however, we should always focus on the positives of the online world. We recognise that technology is here to stay and pupils at our school live, love and learn through their tech.

What we would like to encourage you to do, though, is to talk to your children about what they get up to online.

Please take time to talk to them over the next few weeks about what they do on their devices and with whom, what they love, and what worries them. Why not get them to show or teach you how to use one of their apps, sites or games? The key thing is to stay positive, be real about the risks and make sure they know who they can talk to if they are unsure.

There are plenty of things to be aware of online, but if you are warning them about risks and dangers, please don’t show them scary images or tell them the names of ‘bad apps’ (all apps can be good or bad) or challenges/dares to avoid. If you do, that can scare them even more or encourage them to go and google it later!

In the past week there have been many press stories about a particular nasty challenge circulating with a scary image on social media. These stories are based on an urban myth / hoax which circulates every few months. Whether that is the case or not, please do not show any scary images from the newspapers to your children in order to talk about it, and do not mention the challenge by name. Instead, as above, talk about what to do if they see something scary or someone dares them to do something stupid or dangerous; ask them if they would tell someone and who; make sure they know never to forward these things to their classmates.

Let’s work together to avoid unnecessary sleepless nights.


Kind regards,


Aaron Maoate
