Exercise increases brain size, new research finds

Aerobic exercise can improve memory function and maintain brain health as we age, a new Australian-led study has found.

Stem Cells From Young Donors Could Combat Frailty in Old Age

While far from an anti-aging cure, injections of ‘master regulator’ stem cells show promise in fighting symptoms of frailty.

Learning and staying in shape key to longer lifespan, study finds

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.

How to keep your brain young

A look at the research around preserving our brain health and keeping mentally active.

Caloric restriction for anti-aging

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.

No detectable limit to how long people can live: study

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.

Aging clock and epigenetics

Recent research has shown that DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification is so accurate that chronological age in humans can be predicted +/- 3.6 years from any tissue or fluid in the body. This is referred to as the epigenetic clock.

Indigenous South American group has healthiest arteries of all populations yet studied

An 80 year old from the Tsimane group had the same vascular age as a person in mid-fifties, suggests a new report. The Tsimane people - a forager-horticulturalist population of the Bolivian Amazon - have the lowest reported levels of vascular aging for any population.

Average life expectancy set to increase by 2030

Average life expectancy is set to increase in many countries by 2030 - and will exceed 90 years in South Korea, according to new research.

A group of scientists slowed down aging

A group of Russian and Swedish scientists just published a breakthrough paper. The scientists made an attempt to slow down ageing using a novel compound: artificial antioxidant SkQ1 precisely targeted into mitochondria.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

Research identifies cellular recycling process linked to beneficial effects of enduring mild stress

Eating less can slow the aging process

Recent research published in Molecular & Cellular Proteomics offers one glimpse into how cutting calories impacts aging inside a cell.

World's oldest yoga teacher is 98

She is the World's Oldest Yoga Teacher who, at age 98, still teaches five classes a week. But above all, Tao Porchon-Lynch is a poster child for health and positivity in a world obsessed by wellness and longevity.

Cellular Reprogramming Rejuvenates Old Mice and Boosts Lifespans 30%

Using a process designed to “reprogram” normal adult cells into pluripotent stem cells researchers have managed to boost the life spans of mice by up to 30% and rejuvenate some of their tissues.

Fountain Of Youth? Embryonic Gene Nanog Reverses Aging In Adult Stem Cells

The fountain of youth may reside in an embryonic stem cell gene named Nanog. In a series of experiments the gene kicked into action dormant cellular processes that are key to preventing weak bones, clogged arteries and other telltale signs of growing old.
