Can Intermittent Fasting Slow Down Gut Aging? New Research Suggests So
Key Points: The intestines serve as a vital component of the digestive system, with critical functions in digestion and nutrient absorption. They also work as a barrier between the gut and the circulatory system, preventing harmful substances and bacteria from entering the blood and, ultimately, the organs. Degenerative changes to the intestines with age lead… Continue reading Can Intermittent Fasting Slow Down Gut Aging? New Research Suggests So
New Study Shows People with Higher Cholesterol Live Longer than People with Lower Cholesterol
Key Points: Cholesterol has become demonized due to its association with heart disease, making statins — cholesterol-lowering pharmaceuticals — the hero. However, some studies, particularly of older adults, have shown that cholesterol may not be the enemy. Recently, researchers from Italy discovered that people with higher cholesterol levels live longer than people with lower cholesterol… Continue reading New Study Shows People with Higher Cholesterol Live Longer than People with Lower Cholesterol
New Research Study Claims Belly Fat Increases Risk of Early Death by Whopping 365%
Key Points: Most previous studies have failed to accurately capture the effect of abdominal fat on the risk of early death, especially in individuals who are not obese. For this reason, Italian and Slovenian researchers have utilized a new measurement that captures the effect of abdominal fat. In doing so, they found that abdominal fat… Continue reading New Research Study Claims Belly Fat Increases Risk of Early Death by Whopping 365%
Leveraging Nutrient Uptake to Slow Aging: Research Reveals Senolytic Treatment Rejuvenates Intestines
Key Points: The aging process is associated with the gradual deterioration of our organs, triggering various health conditions that negatively impact our quality of life. In the case of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, its deterioration is linked to a lack of nutrient uptake from the food we eat, leading to nutrient deficiencies that can cause… Continue reading Leveraging Nutrient Uptake to Slow Aging: Research Reveals Senolytic Treatment Rejuvenates Intestines
New Korean Study Shows GABA Prevents Age-Related Obesity and Muscle Loss
Key Points: With aging, inactive individuals become highly prone to excess body fat and reduced muscle mass and strength, a state known as sarcopenic obesity. With sarcopenic obesity, too much fat and too little muscle leads to imbalances in energy metabolism that increase the risk of diseases like type 2 diabetes. However, researchers from CHA… Continue reading New Korean Study Shows GABA Prevents Age-Related Obesity and Muscle Loss
New Study Links NAD⁺ Precursor Niacin with Muscle Strength and Insulin Sensitivity
Key Points: Studies have shown that muscle strength drops significantly after the age of 40. Strength loss stems from the reduction of muscle mass which may ultimately lead to frailty, encompassing reduced mobility and troubles performing everyday tasks. Muscle loss during aging leads to impaired sugar (glucose) absorption since muscle is a key site of… Continue reading New Study Links NAD⁺ Precursor Niacin with Muscle Strength and Insulin Sensitivity
