Do you usually eat breakfast at the same time each day, or do busy mornings sometimes leave you skipping breakfast and eating an early lunch instead? A new study suggests that when you eat your first and latest meals daily may be tied to longevity. While earlier studies have connected breakfast skipping and eating late at night with worse health outcomes, researchers have had less evidence about whether eating at certain times of day carries different risks.
As aging progresses, it is often accompanied by increased body fat, reduced insulin sensitivity, and less efficient energy metabolism. Interventions such as regular exercise and caloric restriction have been shown to support healthy aging, but they are not always practical over the long term. Researchers are now exploring therapeutic alternatives that can reproduce similar metabolic benefits.
The risk of dementia may be influenced long before symptoms appear. New research suggests that avoiding three key midlife risks could help extend the number of years people live without dementia. Those free of all three risk factors experienced roughly 13 additional dementia-free years compared with people affected by all three.
Valine is an essential amino acid the body relies on to make proteins and support normal growth and tissue repair. Unlike some other amino acids, it cannot be produced naturally by the body, so it has to be consumed through food. A new study found that restricting dietary valine extended bothmedian and maximum longevityin male mice while improving overall healthspan in both male and female mice.
Maintaining a healthy weight is becoming increasingly uncommon, with only one in four U.S. adults falling into that category. New research suggests excess weight may be responsible for significantly more cancers than once thought. After analyzing data from more than 450,000 people, researchers estimated that excess body fat is linked to over 11% of all cancer cases, nearly twice earlier estimates.
Being alone isn't necessarily harmful, but feeling lonely may be. According to a new study, older adults who experience persistent loneliness may face a faster decline in both cognitive and physical health. The researchers found that loneliness remained strongly linked to poorer brain health and an increased risk of early death, regardless of how socially isolated a person was.
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.
Many of us spend hours sitting each day without giving it much thought. But research suggests that long, uninterrupted periods of sitting may do more than slow your metabolism. They could also increase your risk of dying from cancer. Now, a new study suggests it's not just how much you sit that matters, but how often you get up and move.
Living bacteria could become the next frontier in cancer treatment. Researchers have discovered an amphibian gut bacterium that wiped out solid tumors in mice with a single dose, pointing to a potential therapy that targets tumors directly rather than simply changing the gut microbiome.
Exercise may be one of the most powerful anti-aging tools we have. New research suggests it can switch aging muscles back into repair mode, helping them recover, rebuild, and stay stronger as we grow older.
Conversations in the health and wellness space are increasingly centered on longevity right now. A new study confirms that Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) delivers powerful health benefits, with previous research linking it to better energy metabolism, cardiovascular health, and improved muscle strength.
A new study highlights the importance of protein intake in healthy aging, showing that inadequate consumption of protein-rich foods may contribute to reduced muscle strength and mobility. Meeting protein needs can help support physical function and resilience later in life. This association was observed from foods such as eggs, fish, legumes, and chicken.
