Imagine being able to preserve your healthiest blood stem cells while you're young, then using them decades later to help rejuvenate your body. New research in mice suggests it may one day be possible to restore a more youthful blood-forming system and immune system by transplanting young stem cells later in life.
The gut microbiome is the community of trillions of bacteria, fungi and viruses that primarily live in the colon. These tiny organisms help digest food while producing compounds that can influence many aspects of both physical and mental health. Researchers have uncovered a link between specific gut bacteria and biological aging, adding to growing evidence that the gut microbiome may affect how we age.
Healthy aging isn't just about living longer, it’s about staying strong enough to enjoy those extra years. New research shows that getting enough protein and combining it with resistance exercise is one of the most effective ways to preserve muscle, maintain mobility, and reduce the physical decline that often comes with aging.
Our daily routines and body rhythms tend to shift with age. Although chronological age is fixed by time, biological age reflects how well the body is functioning. A new study suggests that aging may affect circadian rest-activity rhythms, the body’s natural daily cycle that helps regulate wakefulness, activity, rest, and sleep.
A major new study has linked several common food preservatives to a greater risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Although preservatives are critical for keeping foods safe and fresh, the study suggests that diets high in processed foods containing these additives may contribute to inflammation in the blood vessels.
While PFAS or “forever chemicals” exert widespread harmful effects, a new study points to PFNA and PFOSA as drivers of accelerated biological aging in men during middle age, an effect notably absent in women. It is estimated that drinking water contaminated with PFAS could have exposed over 200 million Americans. The slow breakdown in the human body means these chemicals build up insidiously, potentially for decades, before any harm becomes evident.
Most people who take a multivitamin do so without firm proof of its value, which makes it important to build a clearer picture of its potential contributions to health. Recent research indicates that older adults who took a daily multivitamin experienced a modest slowdown in biological aging.
According to a new study,vitamin C intake is a direct driver of collagen production and skin regeneration, demonstrating how powerfully nutrition influences skin structure. Collagen synthesis and skin renewal are powered directly by the vitamin C concentration in the skin itself, which parallels blood plasma levels and increases with greater intake of vitamin C-rich fruits.
Consistent exercise is a major driver of longevity, working alongside good nutrition and emotional balance.Whether it’s lifting, running, aerobic, yoga, or something else, every exercise type leaves its own signature on your health and body. Movement is a key ingredient in living longer and thriving.
A recent study finds that people with major depressive disorder have brains that seem markedly older than their chronological age, connecting mental health with accelerated brain aging. While aging occurs naturally, mounting research suggests depression may speed up specific brain aging processes.
Resistance training entails pushing or pulling against an external force. While research on resistance training has traditionally centered on muscle and bone adaptations, little is known about how it affects nerve adaptability. New research reveals that it helps minimize age-related nerve decline, which could help reduce the risk of falls and injuries in older adults.
A recent study indicates a link between the timing of breakfast and longevity in older adults. Researchers found that older adults who regularly ate an early breakfast during the study had a reduced risk of mortality over approximately 20 years compared to those who gradually shifted their morning meal to later times.
