Greetings!
The month of October is characterized by rapidly falling temperatures in Boise, ID. The weather is certainly following along those lines this year. If you're headed out to a football game, don't forget the scarves. We hope you can take a bit of time out from crocheting, knitting or buying those scarves to read the following articles -- and that they provide encouragement and support. If you were forwarded this issue of CARING Connections, or you are viewing it on our website, you can sign up for your own subscription by clicking here.
Thank you, The Team at Assisting Angels Home Care |

Attempt to control the "aging trait"
University of College in London made an interesting discovery watching worms through a microscope. They watched life leave a worm's body under a florescent light.
 | | Worms' Bright Blue Death Could Shed Light On Human Aging |
David Gems from the Institute of Healthy Aging, College of London says aging is a genetically controlled trait, like eye color. Gems hopes to identify the genes which control aging and believes many of the same genes are present in humans. This is why the discovery is so exciting for them. In principal, he hopes to manipulate (with drugs) the sensing system in order to increase in life span. Gems also surmises that if aging were slowed in humans, we could expect a reduction of age-related illnesses, including cancer, dementia, cardio vascular disease, diabetes, etc.
