In the search for the keys to living longer, researchers are beginning to make more detailed examinations of what happens in our DNA – our central genetic material – as we get older.

The evidence they’re discovering shows that what goes on in those complicated molecules may hold important clues to extending our life expectancy. So, let’s take a peek at what these eye-opening investigations have found.

When researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in England analyzed the DNA genomes of 16 species of mammals, including a variety of animals from giraffes to rodents as well as humans, the scientists discovered that […]

Losing your vision can send your quality of life into a tailspin. Things like driving to the store, taking your dog for a walk, or even recognizing a loved one’s face can become challenging… and dangerous.

Even worse? Your chances of developing a life-changing eye disease, like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), increase as you age.

But the latest science suggests that vision problems don’t have to be part of your golden years. Researchers are pointing to a new, natural way to stop AMD in its tracks. And all you have to do is eat a handful […]

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 does in fact influence your longevity. Here’s what you need to know to take advantage of this new science…

A study published last year found eating fruits with lunch, vegetables at dinner and a dairy snack in the evening reduced the risk of death from heart disease or from any cause.

The latest study looked at the relationship […]

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 small breeds of dogs live much longer lives than large ones, Dr. Promislow wondered whether the gene is also important to canine lifespan. What he found not only reveals new information about extending the lives of man’s best friend, but could make a difference in our lifespan, too.

Human aging has been studied extensively but little is […]
