Surely we’re not the only ones who first experienced biscotti as kids, secretly stolen out of an old tin at grandma’s house? Oh, the memories. Well, prepare to be transported, friends, because these gluten-free biscotti have all the crunchy, sweet goodness of a classic biscotti, but with a sophisticated twist!
Inspired by our Orange Almond Biscotti, these 10-ingredient cookies are sweet and spicy (Hello, chocolate and candied ginger!) and full of all t…

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Research Summary
A new study revealed that a talk therapy practice conducted by telephone could help older adults who have arthritis-related insomnia sleep better. The study was published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Why does this matter?
Insomnia is a difficulty in falling or staying asleep. It affects more than 14 million Americans aged 65 and older. It may lead to daytime problems such as tiredness or fatigue, p…

Revel Pharmaceuticals is the result of work funded in large part by the SENS Research Foundation, with the support of its many philanthropic donors. That part of the history of the underlying research isn’t covered in today’s short article on the company, so it seems worth mentioning here. Cross-links are chemical bonds formed between molecules in the extracellular matrix. Some are necessary to structure and function, but other unwanted cross-links are added over the years, creating stiffness in flexible tissues such as blood vessel walls and skin. In the case of blood vessels, <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2014/05/arterial-stiffening-is-enough-to-explain-h…

Weight plates aren’t just for loading a barbell or decorating the rack like a souped-up Christmas tree. You can also use weight plates on their own to help you tone, tighten, bulk, and hulk.
“They’re an excellent tool to help add extra weights to your fitness routine,” says NASM-certified trainer John Gardner, CEO of Kickoff, an online custom fitness platform.
Well, if John (freakin’) Gardner thinks they’re excellent, who are we to argue?
Here, fitness trainers break down the benefits of strength training with weight plates and share seven exercis…

“It’s okay to be scared. Being scared means you’re about to do something really, really brave.” ~Mandy Hale
When it comes to plane travel, I frequently quip: “I’m not a nervous flier, but my bladder is.”
In a way, this is true. Aside from brief freak-out moments when there’s a patch of turbulence or when a flash from my catalog of gruesome “what-if” scenarios forces its way into my mind’s eye, I remain blissfully disconnected from my fear. Meanwhile, my bladder takes the brunt of it, with hourly pit-stops to the lavatory alongside a persistent, dull ache.
While this is physically annoying, my strategy has its utility: it conveniently shifts the blame and shame for my irrational fear onto my bladder so that I don’t have to face up to it. (O…

Consumer devices that can measure useful age-related cardiovascular metrics such as pulse wave velocity and heart rate variability are not that great in comparison to the much more expensive lines of medical devices. The most important difference lies in whether measuring these parameters in the periphery (arm, wrist, finger) or in the body itself (neck, torso). There is a lot more noise in the periphery, and these are already noisy metrics by their nature, prone to a lot of moment to moment and circumstantial variance. If pulse wave velocity is 6.3 m/s on day one and 8.5 m/s on day two, an entirely likely outcome, what exactly is one supposed to do with that information, other than resign oneself to a two to three week process of twice daily measurements in order to obtain a meaningful …

Many of the interventions demonstrated to produce interesting effects on the pace or state of aging are challenging to learn from. This is the case because these interventions change so much of the operation of metabolism as to make it hard to pick apart what is most relevant to the progression of aging versus what is a side-effect. Calorie restriction is the canonical example – it alters the entire laundry list of cellular processes thought relevant to aging, and a good many others besides. Similar issues arise when looking at heterochronic parabiosis, as linking the circulatory systems of a young animal and an old animal changes the signaling environment prof…

Finding a quality cannabidiol (CBD) brand is like searching for a needle (a *really small* needle) in a haystack. There are a lot of duds out there, and some companies have pathetically low standards.
But when you’re planning on putting something into your body, you want to buy from a brand that takes its business as seriously you took binge watching “Squid Game.”
One brand you might find hanging out in the CBD Wild West is Absolute Nature CBD. Founded in 2019 and based in Dallas-Fort Worth, Absolute Nature is still pretty new to the scene.
Sooo should you give Absolute Nature CBD the green light? We dug into the brand and its products to help you decide. 👇
