Ageing clocks can measure the biological age of people with high precision. Biological age can be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking or diet and can therefore deviate from chronological age, which is calculated based on the date of birth. The accuracy of these aging clocks suggests that the aging process follows a program. […]
Can a High-Protein Diet Prolong Life?
Eating nutrient-rich foods can improve metabolic health and delay the ageing process. But what levels of macronutrients in the diet are appropriate to achieve this? To answer this question, Japanese researchers fed young and middle-aged male mice an isocaloric diet with varying levels of protein. They found that the mice were metabolically healthier when fed […]
Time-Restricted Eating Alters Gene Expression Throughout the Body
Numerous studies have shown the health benefits of a time-restricted diet, including an increase in lifespan. But how this exactly affects the body at the molecular level, and how these changes interact across multiple organ systems, is not yet fully understood. Salk scientists have been able to show in studies how time-restricted eating affects gene […]
Generation of New Neurons in the Brain As a Strategy Against Neurodegenerative Diseases
Some areas of the adult brain contain dormant or dormant neural stem cells that can potentially be reactivated to form new neurons. However, the transition from quiescence to proliferation is still poorly understood. A team led by scientists from the Universities of Geneva (UNIGE) and Lausanne (UNIL) has discovered the importance of cellular metabolism in […]
Research Shows that HIIT Training Protects the Brain and May Delay Alzheimer’s
As we age, our cognitive abilities decline. While some people remain mentally fit into old age, others suffer from severe memory impairments. Accounting for around two thirds of all cases, Alzheimer’s is the most common form of dementia, which is associated with a loss of cognitive abilities. According to recent research, as little as six […]
