“To learn more about what causes cellular senescence, how it accelerates aging and plays a role in age-related diseases, and possible ways to prevent it...check out my podcast with Dr. Judi Campisi…”

“Aortic stiffness, or inelasticity, is a hallmark of aging and cardiovascular disease. Alterations in the mechanical properties of the aorta drive aortic stiffness. The study involved 138 healthy adults who participated in a 6-month training program for a marathon.”

“A recent study found that the exposome contributes far more to premature death and age-related diseases than genetic risk alone. Researchers analyzed data from nearly 500,000 people enrolled in the UK Biobank to measure the exposome's role in aging.”

“These findings suggest that omega-3 fatty acids counteract age-related changes in the brain, specifically in lipid rafts, and preserve cognitive function and memory in aging. Learn more about omega-3s' roles in preserving cognitive function in this clip featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“Older endurance cyclists in their 50s to 70s maintained muscle mass, had healthy cholesterol levels, low body fat, and their immune systems looked 30 or more years younger. The study suggests that lack of exercise, and not simply just aging may lead to immune function decline.”

“Heavy lifetime drinkers were also more likely to have a larger waist circumference – as much as 5.47 centimeters (~2.15 inches) larger – even if they cut back on their alcohol consumption before the age of 50.”

“Telomere attrition, a biomarker of aging, is commonly associated with mental health conditions such as social anxiety disorder. Protection against telomere shortening is provided by activation of the enzymes telomerase and glutathione peroxidase.”

“Both groups engaged in progressive lower-body resistance training twice weekly and received either 30 grams of hydrolyzed collagen or a placebo after training. The researchers evaluated the participants' tendon size, stiffness, and strength before and after the intervention.”

“Excess body fat harms multiple organ systems, including the central nervous system, potentially accelerating brain aging. A new study shows that a 1 percent weight loss delays brain aging by nearly nine months.”

“This suggests that chronic enhancement of pro-inflammatory mediators really is not just a bystander but an actual driver of aging. These data are in line with a recent study in exceptionally old populations (from 90-110+ years old) that identified low inflammation was the only predictor of survival and cognitive function (aside from age itself).”
