Autophagy is a collection of processes that remove damaged and unwanted molecules and structures from a cell, delivering them to a lysosome where they are broken down into raw materials for further protein synthesis. Many of the approaches shown to slow aging in short-lived species are characterized by improved autophagy, and evidence from research into calorie restriction suggests that autophagy may be the most important of the many mechanisms linking the operation of cellular metabolism to the pace of aging. <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2021/09/restoration-of-autoph…

“Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.” ~Coco Chanel
I believed I was ugly and blamed it on my dark skin. I hated my skin color. Looking back, I realized it’s because I didn’t fit in with the white kids, nor did I fit in with the black kids.
I am mixed race. I have a black father and a white mother. Until I started school, I never considered myself different. My family and I were close, and I felt love and acceptance.
When I started second grade, I developed a crush on a boy, who never noticed me and fawned over the pretty blonde girl in class. She was beautiful, with springy blonde curls and a soft, feminine voice. She wore colorful dresses that enhanced her beauty. I felt drab and plain next to her. Thus, began my dislike of my dark, frizzy a…

Protein is kind of a big deal when it comes to optimal health. But the amount of protein you need to eat per day isn’t a one-size-fits-all scenario.
Here’s how to make sure you’re eating enough protein for *your* body.
How much protein should you eat per day?
Both men and women should eat a minimum of 0.8 grams (g) of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight every day (or 0.36 g per lb.).
Some scenarios, including pregnancy, activity levels, and older age, require more than that minimum.
Research also links higher protein intake with weight loss and muscle gain. So if you’re trying to lose weight or gain muscle, your protein intake will vary even more.

Exercise improves cognitive function, both in the short term immediately following exercise, and in the long term as a result of increased physical fitness. These effects appear to be mediated by increased neurogenesis in the brain, the production of new neurons and their incorporation into neural circuits. This is particularly important in learning and memory, with most research focused on the hippocampus. Here, researchers dig in deeper to better understand how neurogenesis improves these aspects of cognitive function following exercise.
