Healthy aging isn't built only on ex

Most of us think of aging as something that happens entirely inside the body—our cells wear out, our systems slow down, and disease gradually takes hold. But emerging science suggests a more unsettling reality: aging may be profoundly shaped by what enters us from the outside. Viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other pathog

There’s the sympathetic nervous system that puts the body in high alert mode—raises body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, respiration, the works—and primes us for action. And then the parasympathetic system cools everything down, letting the body reset and repair. Together they make up our “autonom

I like to think of sleep as the essential “backstage” human function. The audience is paying attention to what’s going on on-stage – sword fights, great romantic gestures – but backstage is where the real drama takes place as sets, props, costumes are assembled for the next scene. Ditto sleep. While we’re lights out, t

Research indicates that melatonin and mitochondria are intertwined. For starters, most of the body’s melatonin supply is actually produced inside the mitochondria, think of it as the oil that keeps the car engine running smoothly. And with age, not only does that engine (mitochondria) put out less power, and generate m

APOE4 may raise your risk for Alzheimer’s, but it’s not a life sentence, but it is a signal to act. It is a marker for Alzheimer’s risk. It is not a crystal ball.
