An international team of researchers believe a new test can reveal a lot about your state of health and your longevity.

Best of all, this test couldn’t be easier. I’ve dubbed it the “flamingo test” because it involves nothing more than standing on one leg like a flamingo.

Here’s what you need to know…

Unlike aerobic fitness and muscle strength and flexibility, balance tends to be reasonably well preserved until people reach their mid to late 50s, when it starts to wane.

For instance, between the ages of 40 and 49 a person can stand on one leg for an average of 42 seconds. […]

From flies and worms to rodents and primates, numerous studies in laboratory animals have shown that calorie restriction extends lifespan. But translating calorie restriction to people over the long-term is all but impossible.

However, scientists say there’s another approach that can provide much of the benefit of calorie restriction without all the severe restriction.

I’m talking about time-restricted eating. Here’s what you need to know…

Many studies in a variety of lifeforms demonstrate that a considerable reduction in calories while – and this is key – maintaining intake of all necessary nutrients, delays aging and extends lifespan.

Until recently it wasn’t clear if time-restricted […]

When researchers recently investigated how our organs interact as we get older and how they influence our longevity, they got a shock.

Because when they examined the eyes to see how aging slowed down their performance, the researchers discovered that it wasn’t so much the aging of the rest of the body that caused dysfunction in the eyes, but that the eyes themselves were the driving force for aging in the rest of the body!

Here’s the surprising story…

Researchers at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging in Novato, California, performed a laboratory study that was designed to tease out relationships between […]
