Augusta: A study has shown that a good night’s sleep biologically slows down the aging process. A team of scientists from Augusta University in the US state of Georgia analyzed the sleep data of 6,052 people with an average age of 50 for the study. The study found that people who regularly monitored their sleep…
Common blood pressure medications have been shown to have positive effects on some cats. Photo: File Karachi: A common blood pressure drug was tested on certain types of worms, and it theoretically increased the worms’ lifespan and slowed the aging process. Medicines of the rilmanidine group are usually prescribed to control blood pressure. Experts fed…
Living in a green area can also reduce biological age. Photo: File Illinois: An American study has revealed that living in a park or green space not only improves your health, but can also shorten your biological age. A study published in Science Advances states that prolonged exposure to an urban forest or a quiet…
Colombia: A recent new study shows that memory and thinking skills that are affected with age can be improved with nutrients called flavanols. These flavanols are found in chocolate and berries. Dr. Scott Small, professor of neurology and director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, said, “We…
Minnesota: Chemicals that give strawberries their vibrant color and flavor can potentially slow the rate of aging in humans, a study has found. This particular compound in strawberries that kills zombie cells is known as Phystin. Paul Rubins, co-director of the Institute of Biology of Aging and Metabolism at the University of Minnesota, has been…
A sense of hunger can also slow down the aging process. Photo: File Michigan: Experts have made it clear from experiments on fruit flies that it is not necessary to reduce the nutritional requirements, but keeping the sense of hunger alive can also increase life. Experts have long believed that eating less, fasting or intermittent…
Singapore: According to a new study, the biological process of aging can potentially be stopped but not completely reversed. Other researchers, including researchers from a local Singaporean company, have explored the possibility of reversing human aging using artificial intelligence and machine learning tools. In research published as a preprint in BioRxiv, scientists have studied ‘resilience’,…
Cold temperatures slow aging and reduce the formation of harmful proteins. Photo: File Cologne Germany: A study found that cold temperatures slow down aging and inhibit harmful proteins. In other words, exposure to cold temperatures reduces the production of harmful proteins at the cellular level, and other harmful chemicals associated with aging are either broken…
