A five-day nutrient cycle that triggers fasting-like shifts linked to healthier ageing Imagine eating nut bars and vegetable soup for five days, then going back to normal life… and lab tests say you’ve become 2.5 years “younger” biologically. 🥣 That’s what new research on the fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) suggests: a tightly designed 5-day, plant-based, low-calorie … Read more
The surprising MRI pattern researchers say might keep your brain biologically younger A new MRI study presented at the Radiological Society of North America finds something unexpected: your muscle-to-visceral-fat ratio may predict how old your brain looks. 🧠 Researchers at Washington University report that people with more muscle and less hidden belly fat show younger-looking … Read more
A natural senolytic from grape seeds that is surprising scientists with real data and early human signals. A small molecule from grape seeds is creating a huge wave in longevity science. It is called PCC1, and some researchers believe it may become one of the first natural senolytics that actually works in humans. The idea … Read more
What Bama’s centenarians, mineral-rich water, daily movement and simple diets reveal about practical Chinese longevity biohacks The Chinese county of Bama is small, humid and easy to miss on a map. Yet it’s famous for something remarkable. You are more than five times likelier to meet a centenarian there than almost anywhere else. Researchers have … Read more
A short checklist of health problems showed who was most likely to die within 2 years A new study from Korea found that a short checklist of health problems can reveal how fast someone is really aging. The tool is called the Frailty Index, and it measures how many small health issues a person has. … Read more
A stronger grip might reveal how resilient your body is and how well you’ll age. When you twist open a stubborn jar, you might not realize you’re performing one of the simplest aging tests available. Research increasingly links grip strength to cardiovascular health, metabolic function and even longevity. What makes this fascinating is how much … Read more
A natural molecule tied to autophagy, clearer thinking, and healthier aging. Spermidine has quietly worked its way from the lab bench into conversations about longevity, brain health, and fasting. And it makes sense. This tiny molecule lives in every one of your cells, helps clean up damaged components, and appears to support several processes that … Read more
Gene-enhanced “senescence-resistant cells” with active FOXO3 helped aging monkeys regain memory, repair brain structure, and reverse biological age. Scientists in China report that specially engineered stem cells helped older monkeys regain memory and show signs of biological rejuvenation. These cells were designed to keep the longevity gene FOXO3 active, which appears to help them survive … Read more
Tiny flower-shaped particles help healthy cells grow extra mitochondria and share them with damaged neighbors. Picture a weak, aging cell suddenly receiving a fresh batch of mitochondria from a stronger one. Researchers at Texas A&M pulled this off using small, flower-like nanoparticles that push stem cells to produce extra mitochondria, then pass them on. The … Read more
Early animal research hints at a future where damaged hearts might heal themselves faster and more completely. One of the most striking findings in recent cardiovascular research is how gene editing is starting to reshape recovery after a heart attack in animal models. Some studies show edited cells reducing inflammation, improving scar structure, and helping … Read more
A health summit packed with tech still pointed to something surprising: the deepest longevity wins come from purpose, metabolism, stress balance, smart AI use and getting the basics right. The most talked-about moment at Eudēmonia 2025 wasn’t a new gadget or a futuristic therapy. It was the repeated reminder from top clinicians, scientists and founders … Read more
A cold-water giant may survive longer than entire civilizations, and its biology points to repair strategies humans can actually influence. Some Greenland sharks alive right now may have been swimming under Arctic ice during the rise of the Ottoman Empire. Radiocarbon analysis of their eye-lens proteins suggests lifespans close to 400 years, with upper estimates … Read more
