Resveratrol May Protect The Heart And Slow Aging
Research by the University of Wisconsin-Madison has shown that low doses of resveratrol mimic the effects of calorie restriction, which has been shown previously to extend lifespan and reduce the effects of aging.
The researchers examined the influence of resveratrol on heart, muscle, and brain by looking for changes in gene expression in those tissues.
The study [...]
Exercise May Protect The Aging Brain
Researchers in the Netherlands have found that aerobic exercise may increase older adults’ brainpower.
The researchers gathered data from previous clinical trials. They found that when healthy adults older than 55 improved their fitness through aerobic exercise, they also improved in memory, attention, or other mental abilities.
Dr. Maaike Angevaren and colleagues at the University of [...]
Continued Aerobic Exercise May Postpone Aging By Up To 12 Years
A British study has shown that those who maintain aerobic exercise may postpone aging by up to 12 years.
Aerobic exercise improves the body’s oxygen consumption and its use in generating energy (metabolism). A continual degeneration of aerobic power begins in middle age, decreasing about 5 ml (kg. min) every decade. When maximal aerobic [...]
