“FTA: > Scientists have shown that a protein they previously demonstrated can make the failing hearts in aging mice appear more like those of young health mice, similarly improves brain and skeletal muscle function in aging mice.”

“To learn more about epigenetics and accelerated epigenetic aging, check out these resources, including an overview article and these episodes featuring epigenetic experts Dr. Steve Horvath and Dr. Morgan Levine. View full publication.”

“The blood-brain barrier is a critical player in brain connectivity, and its impairment during aging contributes to cognitive dysfunction. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. Axel Montagne.”

“However, this study was small and had no control group. Future research with larger groups may shed more light on the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen in slowing or reversing cellular aging. Read full publication.”

“Researchers compared the effects of aerobic versus resistance training on skin aging in 56 sedentary, middle-aged women. The participants engaged in a twice-weekly supervised exercise program involving either aerobic or resistance training for 16 weeks.”

“Muscle mass declines markedly with age, with up to 8 percent muscle mass loss occurring per decade after age 30. Evidence suggests that naringenin, a flavonoid compound found in citrus fruits, maintains muscle mass in aging.”

“Previous research reports that a later age of natural menopause is associated with greater life expectancy; reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis; and less loss of bone density and a reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures.”

“Nine blood biomarkers used to identify a "phenotypic age" was highly predictive of remaining life expectancy among both healthy and unhealthy populations independent of chronological age. However, the phenotypic age was better at predicting lifespan in younger people compared to older individuals.”

“The study's authors attributed the lack of metabolic response to the relatively low dose and the study's short duration. Strawberries are rich in anthocyanins, a class of polyphenolic compounds that exert potent antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, and anti-obesity effects in humans.”

“As people age, their total energy expenditure (total calories burned in a day) decreases primarily due to declines in resting metabolic rate and the energy expenditure of physical activity, driving increases in body fat.”
