“Summaries Below is a selection of summaries from recent research investigating the role of thymic involution in health and disease. Distance cycling may uniquely stall age-related immunosenescence and thymic involution.”

“[...] > The cyclists also did not increase their body fat or cholesterol levels with age and the men's testosterone levels also remained high, suggesting that they may have avoided most of the male menopause.”

“After the age of approximately 63, a process called thymic involution severely impairs T cell function and is linked to increases in cancer, infection, autoimmune conditions, chronic inflammation, and heart disease.”

“Assessments of episodic memory based on a battery of cognitive tests demonstrated that the rate of cognitive decline experienced by healthy, older people who had amyloid-beta protein accumulation in their brain and who were APOE4 and BDNF Met carriers was roughly three times the rate of decline among those carrying only the BDNF Val allele (the more common form of the gene that retains valine).”

“Satchin's work deals specifically with the timing of food and its relationship with our biological clocks, which are governed by a circadian rhythm. "Mice that ate within a 12-hour time period had 70% less fat and 28% less total body mass.".”

“Some of the factors contributing to these variable phenotypes include persistent damage to our DNA and mitochondrial dysfunction, driven by an altered NAD:NADH ratio, the latter of which has recently been shown to be improved by certain dietary supplements like nicotinamide riboside.”

“Diamandis and Robbins are a dynamic duo, having paired up with co-author Dr. Robert Hariri to write Life Force, a best-selling book that describes breakthroughs in precision medicine and health technologies that can help people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives – in the very near future.”
