When aged 67, the one-time richest man in the world, J. Paul Getty, famously installed a coin-operated pay phone in his mansion for his guests. His miserliness never waned, even with advancing age.

But he’s the exception that proves the rule because as we non-billionaires get older, we become kinder, more caring, more generous and have greater life satisfaction, according to the latest research.

The physical and cognitive effects of aging have been extensively studied but aging also brings about changes in social behavior and emotional responses.

Seniors spend more time volunteering and donate a larger proportion of their income to good causes […]

Your mitochondria are the “batteries” that supply power to your cells, and thereby to your body.

However, as you age your mitochondria can become damaged or dysfunctional.1 Also, the number of mitochondria available to your cells decreases.

Age-related mitochondrial dysfunction is linked to an array of health problems, including cognitive decline, cancer, insulin resistance, macular degeneration and more. But a little-known natural health secret can get to the root of the problem and help your body create healthy, new mitochondria. Here’s what you need to know…

A new scientific discovery could be a dream come true for the one in three Americans who are chronically overweight or obese. That’s because this discovery burns energy, lowers body fat, boosts muscle mass and strength, increases physical activity levels, and reduces inflammation—according to animal studies.

It’s called BAM15, and while the research is still in the early stages, scientists say it works by targeting a process called mitochondrial uncoupling.

Mitochondrial uncoupling is part of the body’s energy creation process. Ordinarily, two distinct processes are coupled together to create energy in the mitochondria—the power plants— of cells. By uncoupling these processes, the […]

In a process that could revolutionize regenerative medicine, scientists have developed a way to rejuvenate human skin cells.

The new technique winds the biological clock back ten times further than previous methods.

While still in its infancy, it has exciting implications for restoring youth and vitality, and overcoming the diseases of aging. Here’s the story…

Fifteen years ago, Shinya Yamanaka developed a way to reprogram adult skin cells so they could be turned into primitive embryonic cells called induced pluripotent stem cells (IPSCs). He achieved this scientific breakthrough by inserting just four genes into the cells. These became known as “Yamanaka factors.”

But there’s […]
