Not only have researchers identified how a common cellular protein affects aging, but they’ve tweaked the genes that produce it in fruit flies, extending healthy lifespan by 25% to 30%. The discovery opens the door to healthier aging in humans.Continue… Continue reading Tweak to common cell protein gene extends healthy lifespan by 30%
If you’ve ever woken up in the middle of the night with sudden painful thigh, calf or foot cramping, you’ll know just how awful the experience is – and, unfortunately, the frequency of these nighttime disturbances increases with age.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Vitamin K2 reduces night leg cramps by 50% in large clinical trial

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then a new study suggests upsizing this to a fruit salad may offer even more – by significantly lowering the risk of depressive symptoms with age. It’s the latest in a growing body of evidence that points to the… Continue reading Fruit: A secret weapon against age-related depression
In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and the diseases that accompany it.Continue … Continue reading Anti-aging molecule successfully restores multiple markers of youth
A massive study of 2.3 million people has found that, independent of socioeconomic factors, mental well-being may be the most important single aspect to healthy aging and living longer lives. But a surprise finding was that those who reported the best … Continue reading Eating cheese plays a role in healthy, happy aging – who are we to argue?
