A study published in February 2021 has demonstrated that physiological illnesses and mental health disorders aggravate biological age. Age may be defined in either chronological or biological terms. Chronological age refers to how old you are in years based on your date of birth. Biological age — on the other hand — measures how old

New research published in 2021 shows that people who are cognitively healthy by the time they reach 100 years tend to maintain their faculties for at least a few more years. This was true even if their brains had started forming abnormal structures that kill cells and interfere with neuron function. The study was publicized

A new commentary published in 2021 shows how the latest advances in AI can help you live longer. Recent applications of AI to aging research are empowering scientists with new tools and fueling the emergence of the field of longevity medicine. Aging is universal among all living things, and often a good predictor of health

A Purdue University team has recently developed a groundbreaking technique that separates mucilage from chia seeds; in a bid to increase the yield of protein-rich chia flour well-known for enhancing bioactivity and functionality. The process effectively extracts mucilage (a thick and gluey substance that surrounds chia seeds and makes the extraction of chia flour extremely

The path towards longevity can be long and arduous. Not only do you have to track all the different aging biomarkers to ensure that you’re not harming your body in the process, but also check whether these interventions are actually working their magic! Let’s also not forget that you have to factor in work and

A recent scientific investigation published in January 2021 showed how a subset of immune cells contribute to age-related health decline.  Specific cells within our immune system go rogue as we age, stoking the fires of chronic inflammation instead of playing their primary role of protecting the body.  For a long time, biologists have believed that

As a high-income country, one would expect the United States to have a life expectancy that is at par—or perhaps even greater—than that of countries in a somewhat similar financial and economic bracket. But that’s not the case: In fact, in 2019, the CDC revealed that the United States has one of the shortest life

A study published on the 30th of January 2021 has demonstrated how levels of magnesium ions in the body could influence health and ultimately longevity   Magnesium ions play an important role in the body’s biological processes, including energy production, breakdown of glucose and proteins, muscle contraction, and many other biochemical processes. Magnesium is also crucial

A recently concluded longitudinal and functional study carried out at the Buck Institute on 700 aging mice has discovered a compound that could potentially extend animal lifespan— and become a viable anti-aging treatment in the near future. The compound was shown to extend the lifespan of very tiny nematode worms, as well as slow down

Naturally, we’re all inclined to age, it’s the bitter-sweet truth about life. But, it’s the negative effects of aging on our muscles that really puts a strain on the quality of life we live.  Aging brings with it a number of debilitating conditions; frailty, fatigue, and in some cases, physical disability. It also creates a
