Scientists claim to have reversed aging in mice, and are now planning human clinical trials. Their research indicates that breakdown in epigenetic information causes organisms to age rapidly, while rejuvenating it may reverse signs of aging. Sinclair’s lab used four Yamanaka factors to reset their epigenetic history in aged cells. Three of these factors were […]

An anti-aging diet rich in antioxidants, healthy fats and lean proteins is key to combatting the effects of ageing. Foods rich in these components include berries, avocados, fatty fish, nuts, leafy greens and fermented dairy products like yogurt and kimchi. The longevity diet is an eating plan which combines a plant-based diet with periodic fasting-mimicking […]

Scientists are in search of drugs to reverse the aging process. Some are new; while others repurposed for diabetes or cancer may serve this purpose. Senescent cells, thought to be responsible for many of the deadliest conditions associated with ageing, have become a focus. Drugs designed to target these senescent cells have been proven to […]

Dietary restrictions have long been used to slow aging in laboratory animals and, more recently, humans. A groundbreaking randomized human study demonstrated this effect when participants who restricted calories saw their biological age decrease over two years as measured by certain biomarkers. Many may find it challenging, if not impossible, to reduce their caloric intake […]

Since Ponce de Leon’s search for the Fountain of Youth, scientists have dreamed of finding ways to reverse or slow the aging process. We now know that certain lifestyle factors promote healthy aging. Scientists refer to this phenomenon as increasing healthspan – or, simply put, length of life without disease – which does not lower […]
