RED MEAT CUTS CAN BENEFIT THE CLIMATE AND YOUR LIFESPAN
POSTED BY KEILA DEPAPE-MCGILL Researchers have found evidence that partially replacing red and processed meat with plant protein foods can increase lifespan and mitigate climate change. Importantly, the new study also suggests that benefits depend on the type of animal protein being replaced. The study drew data from a national nutrition survey to analyze Canadians’...

Cutting Back on One Amino Acid Increases Lifespan of Middle-Aged Mice Up to 33%
ByJESS COCKERILLGeneric shot of white supplement powder (Vladyslav Varshavskiy/iStock/Getty Images Plus) A new study in mice found limited intakes of one particular essential amino acid slowed the impacts of ageing and even lengthened their lifespan. Scientists are now wondering if these findings could help people improve their longevity and quality of life. Isoleucine is one...

Stress Makes Life’s Clock Tick Faster, Chilling Out Slows It Down
Neuroscience News2 hours ago Summary: Chronic stress accelerates the body’s epigenetic clock, however, those that can manage the effects of stress by strengthening their emotional regulation and self-control can slow the process. Source: Yale Scientists in recent years have developed ways to measure biological age by tracking chemical changes in DNA that occur naturally as people age...

Exercise levels predict lifespan better than smoking, medical history
Wearable activity trackers may pave the way for a better method to predict short term death risk, suggests a new study, which found that exercise data was more accurate than other risk factors, such as smoking and medical history. New research suggests that physical activity levels might be a better predictor of lifespan than medical...
