Aging is mathematically inevitable - like, seriously inevitable. There's logically, theoretically, mathematically no way out according to evolutionary biologists.
While far from an anti-aging cure, injections of ‘master regulator’ stem cells show promise in fighting symptoms of frailty.
People who are overweight cut their life expectancy by two months for every extra kilogram of weight they carry, research suggests. A major study has also found that education leads to a longer life, with almost a year added for each year spent studying beyond school.
German researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding the origin of the ageing process. They have identified that genes belonging to a process called autophagy promote health and fitness in young worms but drive the process of ageing later in life.
A look at the research around preserving our brain health and keeping mentally active.
The idea that reducing the amount of food you eat can slow metabolism and extend lifespan has been around for a while. Only recently has it become more mainstream.
By analyzing the lifespan of the longest-living individuals since 1968, a new study comes to conclusion that there is no evidence for an age limit.
