A study from Tel Aviv University (TAU) and the Shamir Medical Center in Israel indicates that hyperbaric oxygen treatments (HBOT) in healthy aging adults can reverse the aging of blood cells and essentially reverse the cellular aging process. The researchers found that a unique protocol of treatments with high-pressure oxygenRead
Fasting and energy-restricted diets have been evaluated in several studies as a means of improving cardiometabolic biomarkers related to body fat loss. However, further investigation is required to understand potential alterations of leptin and adiponectin concentrations. Thus, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to derive a more precise estimateRead
A new study from Baylor College of Medicine shows that findings supplementing GlyNAC, a combination of glycine and N-acetylcysteine, corrects glutathione deficiencies in humans with HIV, thus reversing premature aging, and could have implications beyond HIV, pending further investigations. Premature aging in people with HIV is now recognized as aRead
Vitamin C could be the key to better muscles in later life, according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). A study published in the Journal of Nutrition shows that older people who eat plenty of vitamin C, commonly found in citrus fruits, berries and vegetables haveRead
A team of scientists, led by researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, report that anticholinergic drugs used for a broad array of conditions, from allergies and colds to hypertension and urinary incontinence, may be associated with an increased risk of cognitive decline, particularly in older adultsRead
While there is a growing emphasis on plant-based diets because of environmental and health benefits, little is known about how healthy these diets are for keeping muscles strong in elderly people. Oliver Witard of King’s College London presented research at The Physiological Society’s Future Physiology 2020 conference about soy andRead
In second of a two-part series on the French Paradox, researchers researchers explore the concept of a heart shunt within the microbiota-gut-brain axis and underscore the close association between brain and heart health. The so-called French Paradox offers clues for understanding neurodegenerative and cerebrovascular such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD). ReadRead
Older adults who consumed small amounts of flavonoid-rich foods, such as berries, apples and tea, were two to four times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias over 20 years compared with people whose intake was higher, according to a new study led by scientists at the JeanRead
In recent weeks, two new studies were published on the benefits of lutein for cognitive function and mental focus. In the first study, researchers explored whether dietary approaches may have benefits for cognitive health, especially in midlife and for overweight individuals. The researchers found that individuals who consumed avocados wereRead
Scientists at the Laboratoire des Maladies Neurodégénératives (CNRS/CEA/Université Paris-Saclay) and the Neurocentre Magendie (INSERM/Université de Bordeaux) have just shown that a metabolic pathway plays a determining role in Alzheimer’s disease’s memory problems and that the amino acid L-serine, may play a role in synaptic plasticity. This work, published in CellRead
