The amount of exercise needed to decrease premature deaths related to sedentary lifestyles has dropped
More than 44,000 participants were part of a study published by the British Journal of Sports Medicine, where sedentariness and exercise were considered to determine if the activity can influence how long people live. According to this new study, only 11 minutes are necessary to reduce the chances of developing sedentary-related conditions compared with previous
NIH Workshop: How aging and cancer interplay explored
At the National Institutes of Health Event, researchers talked about how aging speeds up cancer and how cancer accelerates aging. The NIH workshop summed up a few points on how aging and cancer reciprocate with one another and how a person can prevent the risk of cancer. The discussion revolved addressed the following concerns: How
Why sirtuins could be the missing link to cracking longevity and anti-aging
Exercise, good nutrition, and accessibility to affordable healthcare; these are just some of the factors essential to enhancing longevity. But as science delves deeper into the study of longevity and anti-aging from a cellular standpoint, groundbreaking discoveries are being made that could change the way we approach cell preservation and anti-aging altogether. One of these
How an hour of lifting weights every week could boost your longevity
For years, regular exercise has been a key factor in increasing life expectancy. But for many, the most pressing question is; what’s the best type of exercise to incorporate into my routine? Well, according to the recently published Aerobics Centre Longitudinal Study carried out on 13,000 adults, lifting weights for less than an hour a
Is a new gene the key to reverse cell aging?
An investigation conducted by the University of Wisconsin-Madison and published in the journal, Stem Cells, led to discovering a cellular reprogramming that can rejuvenate Mesenchymal Stem Cell (MSC), which usually have an age-related decline in their functions. Previous research has been conducted related to MSC rejuvenation; however, this new study has added further information. Wan-Ju

A drug that can prevent age-related cognitive decline
The drug called ISRIB has been used in the past to treat prostate cancer, traumatic brain injury (TBI), improve cognition in animals, prevent noise-related hearing loss, and shown to improve memory at the same time, just with a few doses. A new drug study published in the eLife Journal on December 1, 2020, also showed
How inhibiting the enzyme PDK1 could affect aging and cancer
Cellular senescence is a physiologic process where a series of changes is suffered by the cell which stops proliferation. In some cases, cells suffer from oxidative stress, shortening of telomeres, or damage in the DNA, which can be duplicated, but the senescence process can prevent this from happening and avoid cancer cells’ proliferation. The Korea
Are fecal transplants the secret to reversing age-related cognitive declines?
The microbiome has been linked to sleeping habits, appetite, weight, and mood changes through connections between the microbiome and the brain. The latest investigations related to microbiome proposed that fecal transplants could increase memory and learning, therefore could be used in the elderly to improve age-related cognitive decline. During the investigation, a group of investigators
Can heart failure be treated with diabetes drug?
Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, atherosclerosis, obesity, and heart valve insufficiency can lead to heart failure. If a person suffers from heart failure, this means that their heart is not able to deliver blood to every part of the body when needed; hence signs like lower limbs swelling, tiredness, and shortness of breath, especially
