The good news is that by stopping your “bad” habits, you can look and feel younger. Here are the top 10 causes of inflammaging and tips on how to stop and counteract the effects of each: 1. Getting “fat” You may have heard about white fat and brown fat. White fat is a visceral fatContinue reading “Being alone, sedentary and more medicated, ages us more”

Researchers find clue to repair of aging DNA
At a Glance Scientists discovered that a well-known compound called NAD+ plays an unexpected role in DNA repair. The findings suggest potential strategies to help protect against cancer, blunt damage from chemotherapy and radiation, and even slow some aspects of aging. When NAD+ (red) binds to the DBC1 protein (beige), it prevents DBC1 from attachingContinue reading “Researchers find clue to repair of aging DNA”
Depression to Dementia
(i) Individuals who develop depression at any point in their lives, sustain minimal or no depression-related neuropathology (eg, glucocorticoid neurotoxicity), and who have stable, normal cognitive functioning; (ii) Individuals who develop depression at any point and who experience depression-related neuropathology that results in MCI that is stable (unless they experience additional depressive episodes); (iii) IndividualsContinue reading “Depression to Dementia”

Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain
Yoga and behavioral memory interventions to prevent age-related cognitive decline A study examined changes in brain metabolites and structure among individuals undergoing memory training and yogic meditation. We demonstrated that memory training over 3 months is associated with decreased choline levels in bilateral hippocampus and increased gray-matter volume in dACC, suggesting that behavioral interventions likeContinue reading “Yoga and behavioral memory interventions for the aging brain”
Why women have more Alzheimer’s disease than men
Gender and mitochondrial toxicity of amyloid-beta peptide The main risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are age and gender. The incidence of the disease is higher in women than in men, and this cannot simply be attributed to the higher longevity of women versus men. Thus, there must be a specific pathogenic mechanism toContinue reading “Why women have more Alzheimer’s disease than men”
Is low blood sugar genetic?
20:80 is my guess. Our genes affect us 20% of the time while our environment and lifestyle affects us 80% of the time (epigenetics). Each person metabolize glucose or drugs or food in the liver differently. Pharmacogenetic tests classified these into 4 groups of people. We have to choose good carbohydrates from whole foods (coloredContinue reading “Is low blood sugar genetic?”
THE LINK BETWEEN CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND AGING
MIT study finds that a gene associated with longevity also regulates the body’s circadian clock. Human sleeping and waking patterns are largely governed by an internal circadian clock that corresponds closely with the 24-hour cycle of light and darkness. This circadian clock also controls other body functions, such as metabolism and temperature regulation. Studies inContinue reading “THE LINK BETWEEN CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS AND AGING”
How Aging Cripples the Immune System
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shown how aging cripples the production of new immune cells, decreasing the immune system’s response to vaccines and putting the elderly at risk of infection. The study goes on to show that antioxidants in the diet slow this damaging process. The research, publishedContinue reading “How Aging Cripples the Immune System”
Protein That Kills Cells in Neurodegenerative Diseases Implicated in Cancer Cell Metabolism
New research from the University of Central Florida has shed light on the workings of a particular protein found in the human body that could have future implications for the treatment of cancer and neurodegenerative conditions. Previous research by Maria C. Franco and Alvaro Estevez of the Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences at UCF’s CollegeContinue reading “Protein That Kills Cells in Neurodegenerative Diseases Implicated in Cancer Cell Metabolism”
An Alternative Explanation for Free Radical Theory of Aging
Finding provides alternative explanation for the free-radical theory of aging and suggests new role for mitochondria in affecting physiology. Buck Institute faculty Judith Campisi, PhD, says age researchers need to stop thinking of cellular senescence, now accepted as an important driver of aging, as a single phenotype that stems from genotoxic stress. Research from herContinue reading “An Alternative Explanation for Free Radical Theory of Aging”
Brain Metabolism Predicts Fluid Intelligence in Young Adults
A healthy brain is critical to a person’s cognitive abilities, but measuring brain health can be a complicated endeavor. A new study by University of Illinois researchers reports that healthy brain metabolism corresponds with fluid intelligence – a measure of one’s ability to solve unusual or complex problems – in young adults. The results areContinue reading “Brain Metabolism Predicts Fluid Intelligence in Young Adults”
Drop in Body Temperature Linked to Aging May Aggravate Features of Alzheimer’s
The drop in body temperature associated with aging could aggravate the main manifestations of Alzheimer’s, suggests a study published in the latest issue of Neurobiology of Aging by Université Laval researchers. Although the phenomenon was demonstrated using transgenic mice, researchers believe that the findings are convincing enough to warrant further investigation in humans. “We knowContinue reading “Drop in Body Temperature Linked to Aging May Aggravate Features of Alzheimer’s”
Blood Vessels Age Well
Study finds that arteries adapt to oxidative stress caused by aging. Although the causes of many age-related diseases remain unknown, oxidative stress is thought to be the main culprit. Oxidative stress has been linked to cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases including diabetes, hypertension and age-related cancers. However, researchers at the University of Missouri recently found thatContinue reading “Blood Vessels Age Well”
