I look through a lot of medical studies in my quest to tell you about ways to slow down aging and keep your body in peak condition. Most of these studies increase our knowledge about aging in small increments, nudging the field forward a little bit at a time.

But in my explorations I sometimes find research that brings me up short and makes me stop and really take notice.

I recently got such a jolt from a study showing that a popular fruit, already well-known for its heart benefits, may be able to extend life expectancy by an eye-popping 40 percent.

I know a very lively 90-year-old man and also a 96-year-old woman who never bothered a whit about how they eat, the quality of their sleep, meditation or any of the other stuff we sweat over.

Well, even if you suspect that your genetic inheritance is a little below par, you can take heart: Researchers believe they are discovering the places […]

Intelligence is Related to Longevity

The intricate wiring of 100 billion or so neurons in a human brain makes the connections in your computer look like a kid’s toy.

Those neurons are interconnected in ways that are intensely complicated and hard to analzye. So when researchers go about studying the brain’s relationship to the rest of the body and to our overall health, the results can be messy and complicated.

And controversial. Like the theory that a high IQ indicates how long you’re likely to live. . .

Studies suggest your intelligence – as measured by an IQ test – not only shows how smart you are, but […]
