Scientists are actively investigating ways to halt, and even reverse, aging. One promising approach known as cellular reprogramming has already produced promising results in mice studies. Shinya Yamanaka won a Nobel Prize for discovering a combination of genes that can transform adult cells into stem cells that could potentially reverse aging in whole organisms, including […]

David Sinclair, a Harvard geneticist, has demonstrated that one of the primary causes of aging are epigenetic changes that can be reset. His work supports the idea that increasing life span could be accomplished by slowing or even reversing the aging process. Sinclair’s lab uses NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide), a precursor that transforms into NAD+ (nicotinamide […]

Wouldn’t it be great if wrinkles, cancer and other age-related ailments weren’t inevitable? According to two major studies, eating a low glycaemic load diet can slow biologically the aging process. This type of diet emphasizes whole, minimally processed foods as well as regular physical activity and restful sleep. 1. Eat a Plant-Based Diet Plant-based diets […]

Research into increasing longevity has typically been met with great skepticism from many quarters, as people worry that doing so will increase both the number of elderly individuals and prevalence of age-related diseases. Exercise may hold the answer. Exercise has been found to slow the aging process by helping build bone and muscle mass, lower […]

Researchers have recently discovered that administering young blood to older mice causes their hearts to beat faster, muscles to strengthen more quickly and thinking to sharpen. Now scientists are researching specific components in young blood which appear to halt brain aging. Heterochronic parabiosis and administration of pro-youthful factors such as GDF11, clusterin, GPLD1, and a-klotho […]
