A new study has demolished the upper limit on human longevity. The research was published in the Royal Society Open Science Journal in September 2021. ‘Maximum human lifespan’ has been a hotly contested topic for years. The oldest human being ever – Jeanne Calment of France – died at 122 years and 164 days old.

Let’s face it; aging takes a toll on the mind and on the body. That’s because as you age, some of the tissue in our human brains develop strange clumps of protein that are a strong indicator of the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. These clumps are known as plaques and tangles, and they are a

There’s no denying that medicine and science have advanced considerably in the past decade alone. Yet despite all the technological advancements we have today, there are still limitations in certain areas of scientific work. In fact, in a recent Tim Ferriss podcast, guest star Peter Attia—a world-renowned physician in the field of longevity—touches on the

Age is the greatest risk factor for memory loss and dementia that interferes with independent functioning. One in 7 Americans over the age of 70 has dementia. As the proportion of older people in the country continues to rise, so will the number of people who live with Alzheimer’s and other forms of cognitive decline. 

A report released by researchers from the Salk Institute enables scientists to better understand the working of the beneficial cellular protein AMPK. The paper was published in Cell Reports in 2019. It was funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Glenn Center for Aging Research, the Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley

The infirmities of aging have dented life expectancy gains made over the last 150 years. Nonetheless, humanity’s future appears to be in safe hands as longevity research intensifies and biotechs spring up from all over the world. Scientists now have a decent understanding of the biological hallmarks of aging. These are the knobs that turn

Sergey Young has a personal goal that might sound a little crazy to most. The founder of one of the most proactive entities in the longevity industry, the Longevity Vision Fund, wants to live to 200. Yes, you heard that right! And he’s possibly identified a number of ways through which he will achieve this

A new paper published in Nature has calculated the economic value of targeting aging. The paper was published by Dr. David A. Sinclair of Harvard Medical School along with two top economists based in the UK – professor Andrew J. Scott from London Business School and professor Martin Ellison from the University of Oxford. Life

A new study has identified possible non-pharmacological (dietary and lifestyle interventions) approaches for reversing epigenetic age (aging based on the structure of DNA). The research was published in the journal Aging in April 2021. It was completed by researchers from the National University of Natural Medicine in partnership with contributors from the American Nutrition Association,

We’re living in one of the most exciting times in history. With the advancement of medicine, human beings are living much longer and more productive lives. Today, for example, the average life expectancy of an American is 80 years. And as we speak, this number is expected to shoot much higher in the next couple
