Study: Walking slowly may be a sign of “accelerated aging” and that you’re more likely to get sick later in life
Slow walkers, beware: You may be more prone to developing serious illnesses later in life. This is according to a team of researchers, who found that 45-year-olds with a naturally slow pace when walking have bodies that exhibit signs of accelerated aging. These signs included impaired immune function and unhealthy lungs and teeth. Even worse was that […]

Study: The health of your gut microbiome influences muscle strength
The gut microbiome affects muscle strength, found a study published in the journal Experimental Gerontology. Researchers from Tufts University said that the gut microbiome — the community of microorganisms living in the digestive tract — helps increase or decrease muscle strength depending on the amount of certain bacteria. The findings of the study benefit not only […]

Cannabinoid receptor 2 activation is key to preventing local and systemic inflammatory bone destruction in rheumatoid arthritis patients
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is one of the most important systems in the human body. It is composed of cannabinoid receptor proteins (CB1 and CB2), chemical activators (endocannabinoids) and enzymes, and is widely distributed throughout the body, especially in the brain. According to studies, the ECS influences all the major organ systems inside the body, including […]

Does stress have benefits? A certain form of stress may be linked to longer life, say scientists
Stress is the body’s natural reaction to various life experiences, and everyone is bound to experience it at one point in their lives. High levels of stress can bring about negative effects on the body. However, recent research describes a new type of stress that can bring surprising benefits for health. Anything from day-to-day responsibilities, […]

Working out in the morning helps improve cognitive function throughout the day, say researchers
A recent study from Australia found that morning workouts can greatly improve working memory in older adults. In the paper, which was published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, the researchers discussed whether moderate-intensity exercises can improve cognition in older adults and whether adding light-intensity walking breaks can further their brain-boosting effects. A collaboration between […]

Scientists investigate the secret of bats’ longevity – can it be adapted to humans?
Humans enjoy moderately long lifespans. But some bats live even longer, which is surprising given their small size. Researchers believe that the secret behind the longevity of bats might help humans enjoy longer lives. Two researchers from the University of Maryland (UMD) studied the evolutionary history of many known chiropteran species. They identified four bat species that live extremely long […]

Researchers examine a compound that can extend the lifespan of worms
Researchers identified a molecule that can prolong the lifespan of roundworms. The compound works by blocking an enzyme that plays a vital role in a cannabinoid pathway. The Scripps Research team also reported that the anti-aging biological pathway in the Caenorhabditis elegans roundworm is related to the cannabinoid pathways found in humans. “This study reveals a new life-extension pathway, but […]
