Though people are living longer, the proportion of years spent in good health remains the same.
This massive study of 12,666 women who were 65 or older and 8,776 men who were 60 or older found that taking a multivitamin slowed cognitive aging by about 60%, which translated to about 1.8 years over the 3 year study.
As people age, many will experience sarcopenia, the decreased muscle mass and strength that can accompany aging. Sarcopenia can reduce quality of life and increase risk of frailty, falls, fractures and death. This study set out to see if something as simple as vitamins C and E could help.
One of the leading theories of aging is the telomere theory. Telomeres are protective caps at the end of your chromosomes. As cells replicate, telomeres get shorter, counting down to the cell’s death. Shrinking telomere length is associated with age and age related diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Depression is prevalent in older people and can seriously reduce quality of life.
This new study of 13,738 people measured the amount of fruit adults ate starting when they were an average of 52.4 years old and then looked at rates of depression when they were an average of 72.5 years old.
New research shows that curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, may offer safe, effective relief for knee osteoarthritis. In a 90-day study, just 250mg daily significantly reduced pain—25% improvement vs. 10.5% with placebo—starting as early as day 7.
Participants also saw meaningful improvements in knee function, daily activity, and quality of life, with reduced inflammation and no side effects.
This adds to growing evidence that curcumin is a powerful, natural option for managing osteoarthritis.
New research confirms that drinking 2–3 cups of coffee daily may help you live nearly two years longer—while also reducing your risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, depression, and frailty. Just skip the sugar and cream.
Can lifestyle outweigh your genes? A massive new study says yes. Tracking over 350,000 adults, researchers found that healthy habits can extend life by over 5 years—even in people genetically predisposed to shorter lifespans.
As we age, maintaining muscle mass becomes crucial. Protein shakes offer a convenient and effective way to support muscle strength, combat sarcopenia, and promote healthy aging—especially when paired with resistance exercise and proper nutrition.
Bones support and protect us, but as we age, we lose more bone than we build. The key to lifelong bone health lies in getting enough calcium, vitamin D, and staying active. It’s never too late to strengthen your skeleton—your bones will thank you.
