The University of Georgia conducted a study determining to see if alcohol could postpone brain aging, but only consuming following specific guidelines. It Is known that while aging, our neurological faculties decrease, causing conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia. On the other hand, changes in lifestyles like healthy diets and habits will postpone or reduce the

New gene therapy and stem cell research innovations have led to new breakthroughs in treating eye diseases.  Scientists have created stem cells that can be transplanted into the eyes of patients with age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa to improve vision.  Researchers have also reprogrammed native glial cells in a patient’s eye to initiate the

A recent experiment carried out by a team of scientists from Krasnoyarsk, Russia, has shown that incorporating a healthy, low-calorie diet of plant-based products—specifically buckwheat—can greatly enhance the production of SIRT1 protein by the body.  The scientists in question consisted of a team of biologists from the School of Fundamental Biology and Biotechnology at the

What does it take to live to 100? Perhaps the answer to this puzzling question could be in the dietary habits widely practiced in Blue Zone communities.  Indeed, not all healthy diets have been formulated from a scientific standpoint alone; but also from reviewing ancient practices that explore the evolution of our anatomy. Let’s review

SuperAgers are known for being older people; however, their cognitive functions, age-related diseases and other conditions related to the elderly are not shown. By not showing these age-related conditions, they can be more active in their daily lives. Numerous researches are focusing on studying the genes of super-agers to establish the mechanism responsible for this

For years, the key building blocks of longevity have always focused on the maintenance of stress levels, good sleep, eating well, and exercising.  Nevertheless, Myers-Briggs’s personality types suggest that certain habits of longevity are actually prevalent in certain personality traits naturally, and as follows: ISFJ: Healthy Lifestyle Routines Naturally, ISFJs are creatures of habit. They

A new research study published on data collected from more than 13,000 men and women has shown that Vitamin C could help older adults retain or maintain their muscle mass. The study, carried out on the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Norfolk cohort, analyzed individuals aged between 42-82 years. Researchers used bioelectrical impedance

C. elegans is a nematode with a size of only 1mm, and that lives around 15 days but has been widely studied, especially for conditions related to metabolism. The development of medications like metformin is commonly used in diabetes treatment stems from findings during the research with these worms. The genes that encode the Insulin

The key to remaining youth is in the blood plasma, and the recent study proves it. According to a study, when blood plasma from younger mice is injected into older mice, the anti-aging effect is observed in approximate of 54% multiple tissues. Other rejuvenating signs are also observed. Like reduction in building up of fat,

In 1986, California-based cryobiologist and biogerontologist Greg Fahy read a rodent study. As per the paper, researchers injected rats with cells that secreted growth hormones among the animals. As rats grow older, their thymus shrinks. In human beings and rats, the thymus is a primary lymphoid organ of our immune system. It consists of Thymus
