“Remaining mentally engaged through work and daily activities may help preserve or enhance cognitive abilities beyond middle age. Maintaining healthy blood flow to the brain through vigorous exercise can support cognitive function in aging.”

“After eating a breakfast meal consisting of buttermilk biscuits with unsalted butter and apple jelly, scrambled eggs, and honeydew melon balls, the participants drank a beverage containing 25 grams of freeze-dried blueberries (roughly equivalent to 1 cup of fresh berries) and some flavoring agents.”

“The authors examined the brains of 45 study subjects (median age at death, 89.2), identifying ventrolateral preoptic neurons by staining the brains for the neurotransmitter galanin.”

“The decline in mitochondrial quality and activity that occurs with aging is linked to the development of a wide range of age-related diseases. The highest concentrations of mitochondria in the body are found in the rods and cones of the eyes, where they support multiple aspects of vision.”

“These findings suggest that lifelong training does more than strengthen muscles or endurance; it may also preserve cellular health. By keeping the body's stress and repair systems in better balance, athletes could slow the natural shortening of telomeres that accompanies aging.”

“Maternal obesity accelerated markers of aging in offspring including impaired mitochondrial function, early signs of prediabetes, fatty liver, and oxidative stress. Exercise by the offspring improved many of the poor outcomes (animal study).”

“The authors concluded that by reducing inflammation and stress hormone levels, omega-3 supplementation may boost cellular repair and slow aging. This decrease in stress response may also translate to reduced risk of depression, making these findings relevant to mental health as well.”

“Aging is the progressive accumulation of damage that occurs to an organism over time, eventually leading to disease and death. Findings from a new study suggest that diluting the blood of old mice can reverse some of the deleterious effects of aging.”

“A new study suggests that sulforaphane mitigates sarcopenia and cardiac dysfunction via activation of Nrf2. Sarcopenia, the loss of muscle tissue that occurs during the aging process, and cardiac dysfunction are common features of aging.”

“The biological age was measured by epigenetics signatures in blood cells which has previously been shown to predict chronological age with 96% accuracy.”
