Milk Fat Associated With More Years of Biological Aging
Drinking whole-fat milk is associated with shorter telomeres and more years of biological aging, which is a measure of how well the body is functioning.Read now -
Longer Sedentary Time May Lead to Biologically Older Cells
Read nowBeing sedentary for long periods of time daily may make us age faster. A recent study suggests that mature people who sit for long periods and have low physical activity may have biologically older cells than those who are more...

High Vitamin D Level Associated With Longer Telomere Length
Read nowTelomeres are the “caps” at the end of each strand of DNA and damage to them is associated with shorter lifespans. A recent study suggests that higher levels of vitamin D may be associated with longer telomeres. The aging and...

Higher Blood Levels of Carotenoids Linked to Slower Cellular Aging
Read nowScientists are able to determine the biological age of cells by measuring the length of telomeres, which are the tiny caps on the end of DNA strands that become shorter as we age. Shortened telomeres have been associated with poor...

Mediterranean Diet May Lead To Longer Life By Protecting Telomeres
Read nowThe Mediterranean diet is based on the diets of people who live in the Mediterranean part of the world. It contains high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, fruits, vegetables, nuts and whole grains but low levels of meats and saturated...

Omega-3s Linked With Slower Aging of Cells
Read nowAs we age, the protective DNA sequences at the end of our chromosomes – which are called telomeres – shorten and can no longer multiply. Shortened telomeres lead to accelerated aging, cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease. A recent study suggests...

Telomere Length Linked With Mortality Risk
Read nowTelomeres are the pieces of DNA that provide protection for the ends of chromosomes. When they become too short, cells can no longer multiply. A recent study suggests that shorter telomere length may be correlated with mortality. The study included...

Omega-3s May Slow Down Cell Aging
Read nowScientists are able to determine the biological age of cells by measuring the length of telomeres. Telomeres are the tiny caps on the end of DNA strands that become shorter as we age in part due to damage from oxidative...
