Key Points: Having a lean physique doesn’t always equate to better metabolic health. While consuming more protein can improve body composition by reducing fat and increasing muscle, it may also accelerate metabolic aging. According to a new study published in Aging Cell, feeding mice too much protein leads to insulin resistance. High Protein Leads to… Continue reading High Protein Intake Promotes Aging by Lowering NAD+ Levels

New Study Shows Increasing Mitochondrial Protein Improves Energy Production and Extends Lifespan
Key Points: Aging disrupts the body’s ability to produce energy efficiently and increases chronic inflammation. As mitochondria — the cell’s energy producers — become less efficient with age, cellular energy output declines while harmful byproducts known as reactive oxygen species accumulate beyond the cell’s ability to neutralize them. These byproducts damage cells and accelerate aging. Over… Continue reading New Study Shows Increasing Mitochondrial Protein Improves Energy Production and Extends Lifespan
How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue Density and Quality for Longevity
Key Points: With the rise of publicity and interest in the burgeoning field of longevity science, people interested in optimizing the length of their lives without an age-related disease (a concept known as healthspan) may wonder what things they can do. Interestingly, a key hallmark of aging garnering more attention recently is the functional deterioration… Continue reading How to Boost Mitochondrial Tissue Density and Quality for Longevity
New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging
Key Points: Metabolic syndrome is one of the defining aging-associated health challenges of the modern world. It is not one disease but a cluster of conditions—abdominal obesity, elevated blood sugar, high blood pressure, and dysregulated cholesterol—that sharply increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, heart disease, stroke, and early mortality. In the… Continue reading New Study Shows Cranberry Extract Equivalent to Metformin in Fighting Aging
An Overview of α-Lipoic Acid: Efficacy, Safety, and Dosage
Key Points: α-lipoic acid, an antioxidant naturally produced in the body, helps convert glucose into energy in the cell’s powerhouse, the mitochondria. This molecule also has a unique characteristic—it is soluble in both water and fat, allowing it to work as an antioxidant in different parts of the body’s cells. α-lipoic acid also helps regenerate… Continue reading An Overview of α-Lipoic Acid: Efficacy, Safety, and Dosage
A Harvard-Trained Doctor’s Top 5 Anti-Aging Supplements
Key Points: Dr. Josh Helman is a Harvard-trained physician who primarily focuses on reversing and preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Through his research on this age-related neurodegenerative disorder, he has become an expert of sorts on aging intervention supplements. As such, in a NewsBreak press release, Dr. Helman shared his top five supplements to counteract the effects… Continue reading A Harvard-Trained Doctor’s Top 5 Anti-Aging Supplements

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%
