Preserving cognitive function through improved lymphatic drainage

Restoring cervical lymphatic vessel function in ageing improves brain drainage, reduces inflammation, and enhances cognitive function. This approach could counter age-related cognitive decline, supporting healthier ageing and potentially extending healthspan.

Glucose tracking with CGMs: Your longevity ally

CGMs have emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring and improving metabolic health and healthspan. Learn how you can transform this data into new habits to optimise your health.

Cold exposure – the science

Done correctly, deliberate cold exposure including cold showers, ice baths, cold water immersion and cryotherapy can positively affect brain and body health. But how cold should the water be and how long do you need to stay exposed for it to be effective? And what are the benefits of this this type of hormetic stress?

Reversing age with stress recovery

Biological age is dynamic and can rapidly change in response to stress, as observed in young mice and humans. Stress increases biological age, but this effect can be reversed upon recovery. This phenomenon is evident at epigenetic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic levels and is also seen during major surgery, pregnancy, and severe COVID-19. This suggests that managing stress-induced ageing could be a target for future interventions.

Breathing’s role in memory and ageing

Breathing not only sustains life but also significantly impacts memory. Controlled breathing during memory formation can sharpen cognitive functions, suggesting a potential strategy for enhancing memory performance and contributing to healthier ageing.

How stress affects ageing: Insights from a new study

New research reveals that physiological stress load may accelerate ageing by affecting immune cells. The study found that stress load correlates with age and is linked to changes in T lymphocyte subsets, which are crucial for immune response. This suggests that managing stress could be key to promoting healthy ageing.
