By |2022-10-20T07:56:57-04:00October 20th, 2022|Natural Health|

We’ve written several times about the anti-aging benefits of drinking coffee. Most recently, we told you about a study from Europe proving coffee’s a longevity-booster.

Since then, there’s been research out of China and now, the latest study hails from Australia. Not surprisingly, anti-aging experts are taking notice. Here’s what you need to know when you grab a cup of joe…

In recent years major studies have demonstrated that coffee drinkers have a reduced risk of death from any cause compared to abstainers. But science is rarely settled so studies continue to be carried out.

Risk of Death Falls by up to 31 […]

Popular Joint Supplement Slashes Pain And The Risk Of Death

By |2022-10-13T10:33:45-04:00October 13th, 2022|Natural Health|

Cyclists and runners use this over-the-counter natural supplement to prevent musculoskeletal problems. And people over 50 use it to help ease joint pain or osteoarthritis.

Studies exploring its effectiveness have produced mixed results and its value in these conditions continues to be debated. But something surprising has come out of the research.

This popular joint supplement lowers the risk of overall death and does so just as well as regular exercise.

I’m talking about glucosamine.

Glucosamine is naturally found in cartilage tissue which cushions the joints. As a supplement it’s often combined with chondroitin which is also a vital part of cartilage.

This dynamic duo […]

How Much Alcohol Is Too Much For A Long Life?

By |2022-10-06T13:08:42-04:00October 6th, 2022|Lifestyle|

New research from the University of Oxford reinforces what we’ve long believed: Drinking isn’t good for you.1 But how much is too much?

Let’s take a closer look at the effects alcohol has on the way your body ages…

These most recent findings are based on the largest ever study on the impacts of alcohol on our DNA and the tiny DNA endcaps that shorten with aging, called telomeres.

The study relied on data from the massive UK Biobank, analyzing 245,000 people aged 40 to 69 years. Three percent of participants were categorized as “never drinkers” and four percent “previous drinkers,” while the […]

Is The Lighting In Your House Making You Old Too Soon?

By |2022-09-30T01:58:52-04:00September 29th, 2022|Natural Health|

LED lights, like the kind in cell phones and lighting fixtures, have revolutionized the way we live our lives. They’re brighter, cheaper, use less energy, and last longer than traditional light bulbs.

But, when it comes to the effects on aging, these bright LED lights have a dark side. Here’s what you need to know…

According to researchers, exposure to the blue light coming from phones, computers and even LED (light emitting diodes) light fixtures is damaging to the body. And the damage worsens as we get older.

One of the latest studies indicates that […]

Does Salt Age You?

By |2022-09-22T11:08:47-04:00September 22nd, 2022|Natural Health|

The first well-controlled study to test whether salt added to your plate leads to premature death has come up with a clear answer. Yes, it does.

The lead author suggests leaving the saltshaker in the kitchen cupboard—or getting rid of it permanently— to reap substantial health benefits.

Should we take his advice? Not every doctor agrees.

The relationship between dietary salt intake and health has been the subject of debate since doctors in France observed patients with high blood pressure were high salt users. And that was way back in 1904!

Other previous studies examining salt’s relationship with mortality have produced conflicting results. Low […]

Beat Back Heart Disease, Dementia, And Early Death With This “Virtual” Trick

By |2022-09-15T13:24:34-04:00September 15th, 2022|Lifestyle|

Fall is here. And while you’re probably ready for brisk air and changing leaves, the autumn season is the gateway to the dreary, shorter winter days – making it harder for those living in some areas to get out and about.

Thankfully, a new study shows a “virtual” trick that can help you stay active and social this fall and winter, without setting foot outside your front door.

Even better? Researchers say it can lower your risk of strokes, heart disease, cognitive decline, and even early death, especially if you’re a senior.

“The Longevity Diet” That Can Add 20 Years To Your Lifespan

By |2022-09-08T08:56:01-04:00September 8th, 2022|Nutrition|

From vegan to Mediterranean to keto, experts differ on the healthiest diet to eat for longevity. So, how do we decide what’s best?

After a thorough review covering over a century of research, scientists say they’ve found the answer. They’ve determined that the best “longevity diet” is a diet that will not only prevent illness but slow down the aging process itself.

To get a clearer picture of the kind of diet that will lengthen our lives, Professor Valter Longo, at the University of Southern California, and Rozalyn Anderson, at the University of Wisconsin, examined a plethora of research.

“We explored the link […]

Can You Exercise Away A Bad Diet?

By |2022-09-01T01:03:09-04:00September 1st, 2022|Natural Health|

Remember that last time you indulged in a greasy pizza or gigantic slice of cheesecake? Perhaps you assuaged your guilt by telling yourself that you’d soon be exercising away the negative health effects.

Unfortunately, the latest research shows that it doesn’t work that way.

A new study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine suggests that dietary quality still matters even in those who are extra vigilant exercisers. Let’s take a look at this latest research.

“Sensationalized headlines and misleading advertisement for exercise regimens to lure consumers into the idea […]

“Flamingo Test” Determines Your Longevity

By |2022-08-25T11:22:42-04:00August 25th, 2022|Natural Health|

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. […]

Does Time-Restricted Eating Really Extend Life?

By |2022-08-18T11:53:12-04:00August 18th, 2022|Natural Health|

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 […]
