Calorie Restriction Reduces the Number of Senescent T Cells in Older Mice
It should not be surprising to find correlations between manifestations of age-related degeneration, even those in which it is debatable as to whether age-related condition A can contribute meaningfully to the progression of age-related condition B, as is the case for hearing loss and physical frailty. All age-related conditions and aspects of aging arise from the same set of underlying forms of cell and tissue damage. Different people accumulate that damage at somewhat different rates, due largely to lifestyle choices and environmental factors. If someone exhibits greater consequences of aging in one part of the body, the odds are good that degeneration in the rest of the body is also more advanced.
Physical functioning is necessary for independent living and tends to decl…

After tossing back a few drinks, some peeps with psoriasis wind up with a massive hangoverand that familiar itchy, flaky flare-up. But is there really a connection between those G&Ts and your psoriasis?
Research indicates that alcohol is a known psoriasis trigger and that higher-than-average alcohol consumption is common among folks with psoriasis. About one-third of people with psoriasis may consume exce…

An impressive regenerative capacity often goes hand in hand with longevity. Salamanders are capable of regrowth of lost limbs and injured internal organs, and are unusually long-lived for their size. Like other smaller species that exhibit an exceptional life span, salamanders are the subject of research initiatives that aim to find the relevant biochemical differences that produce greater species longevity. Additionally, scientists are very interested in understanding the specific mechanistic differences between mammals, largely incapable of regeneration without scarring, and species such as salamanders that are capable of scarless regeneration.

“Happiness can only be found if you free yourself from all other distractions.” ~Saul Bellow
What was your favorite toy as a child? Mine was a Spider-Man action figure. The limbs were adjustable, and there was a switch on his back that made his eyes light up.
I played with that toy for years, even after his fingers broke off and his switch got stuck. While I had plenty of toys as a child, this is the one I remember best.
Maybe you notice a similar trend in your own children. According to a study conducted by British researchers, the average 10-year-old has 238 toys but plays with 12 daily.

“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.” ~Oscar Wilde
The journey to meeting, loving, and re-parenting my inner child was a long time coming.
In 2018, I went through a devastating breakup. I’d been through breakups before. They suck, they hurt, some of them left me in deep abysses of sadness for a long time, but this one was something different.
I can honestly say I felt levels of pain I did not know were survivable for a human being. Many days, I did not want to survive; I couldn’t imagine continuing to be in that level of pain for another moment. It is indeed a miracle I survived and came out on the other side thriving!
So, what was the cause of so much pain?
Well, it wasn’t him, I’ll tell you that much. While I l…

Psoriasis flare-ups tend to show up at the worst times (weddings, vacations… the coronavirus pandemic).
So is it bad news when your immune system wigs out during a pandemic? Especially since psoriasis is considered an autoimmune condition?
How does coronavirus affect people with psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition linked to immune function. But there’s no data suggesting psoriasis makes you more likely to get COVID-19 (the disease caused by the novel coronavirus).

We were craving a summery berry cobbler but wanted to keep things gluten-free and plant-based. Gluten-free biscuits can be tricky, so it took a few rounds of testing to perfect them, but we happily arrived at tender, flaky biscuits that pair seamlessly with this jammy cobbler!
Though butter-free and naturally sweetened, it doesn’t skimp on flavor or texture and would easily please a crowd of all types of eaters!

June was a short, but pivotal month for aging and health. Months of research with executives from 27 organizations resulted in the completion of new report, The Future of Wearables and Older Adults 2021. It was presented on a panel at The What’s Next Longevity Venture Summit in June with 3 of the interviewees, Dr. Hon Pak of Samsung, Jeff Ray of Omron, and Mark Gray of Constant Companion. Although current adoption is relatively low, the future of wearables has great potential for older adults, parti…
