A new field is emerging that looks at meal timing and its influence on health. It’s called chrono-nutrition. The latest study in the field examined whether the timing of breakfast has an impact on human longevity. The researchers found that, yes, the timing of breakfast [...]

Longevity scientist Dr. Daniel Promislow had a eureka moment in 2007 while looking at the cover of a magazine. It pictured a Great Dane next to a chihuahua and discussed how a single gene accounts for the huge variation in size. Since it’s well-known that [...]

Researchers at Louisiana State University (LSU) say they've uncovered evidence that an herbal extract could potentially help us live much, much longer lives if we started taking it while we were young. Furthermore, their tests show that older folks taking it could still possibly extend [...]

In the Bible, Proverbs 17:22 says, “A merry heart is good medicine.” And there’s plenty of anecdotal evidence and scientific research to support this Biblical view. Until recently, researchers hadn’t confirmed scientifically how laughter affects the health of seniors and whether everyday laughter could really [...]

As most people seem to know, just about any type of exercise can improve your life expectancy and overall health. But now, researchers in Kansas say they know exactly which exercises consistently offer the greatest improvements in longevity. To analyze how exercise can extend life, [...]

Stress abounds in today’s world. Some people liken our busy modern lifestyle to a rat race or a daily grind. But instead of burdening you with stress, partaking in one daily grind can relieve it. I’m talking about drinking coffee. If you love coffee then [...]

Replacing a "typical Western diet" with a healthy "optimized diet" can add years to your life at any age, even in your sunset years, a major new study reveals. This will be challenging for many, however. It means giving up red and processed meat, and [...]

Unconventional oil and gas development (UOGD), better known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking, has expanded dramatically around the world over the last 20 years. In parallel, so have concerns over its health impact on people living nearby. These come from air, water, and soil pollution, [...]

Usually, when we think about using exercise to fight aging, we focus on how exercise strengthens our muscle tissue and helps reduce body fat. But, along with helping to trim your waistline, researchers have now found that exercise not only helps eliminate fat but changes [...]

Exercise is the secret for avoiding heart disease as you age. But how much exercise do you need in your later years? In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers in Italy claim to have found the answer. Researchers looked at data from a study involving 3,099 Italians, [...]

An organic compound found in semen is being praised as an amazing age-fighter that provides the benefits of calorie restriction without going hungry. In fact, an acclaimed Harvard geneticist and anti-aging expert claims that “next year everyone is going to be talking about (it).” Here’s [...]

Some of the world’s richest people have commandeered space travel by building and launching private rocket ships. Now, they’re setting their sights on anti-aging medicine. Is it a billionaire vanity project, or a genuine opportunity that will result in longer and healthier lives for all [...]

One of the most exciting strategies to delay age-related disease and lengthen healthy lifespan is to target a fundamental process of aging called cellular senescence. Several plant compounds are being investigated to slow this process. However, the most promising by far is derived from grape [...]

A gravity free environment weakens muscles just as aging does, except the process is rapidly accelerated. This understanding led to MicroAge, a scientific space mission to explore processes that will help preserve muscle strength in old age. The mission was launched in a SpaceX Falcon [...]

Chronological age is an unreliable guide to our future health prospects. Some people are robust in their nineties; others are chronically sick decades earlier. So, top scientists have come up with a better gauge of health – the level of inflammation within the immune system. [...]

During stressful times it’s not uncommon to hear someone say, “I feel like I’ve aged ten years.” Well, it turns out there’s something to that statement. Scientists have now proven that it’s not all in your head. The research shows that stress does make life’s [...]
