Autophagy & Cellular Cleanup
What is Autophagy? Autophagy = your bodyโs self-cleaning process that removes damaged cells & proteins. It declines with age, but you can trigger it with: โณ Fasting โ 24-48 hours maximally boosts autophagy. Even time-restricted eating (16:8) helps.๐๏ธโโ๏ธ Exercise โ High-intensity & endurance training ramp up autophagy in muscles & the brain.๐ฆ Polyphenols & Compounds:…
Hormesis & Longevity
What is Hormesis? Hormesis is the idea that small doses of stress make you stronger by activating longevity pathways (AMPK, sirtuins, FOXO). Key hormetic stressors: ๐ฅ Cold Exposure โ Boosts norepinephrine, metabolism, and resilience. Try cold showers (30 sec – 2 min) or ice baths. ๐ Heat Therapy (Sauna) โ Triggers heat shock proteins (HSPs)…
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) treats and prevents Respiratory Diseases
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) is a versatile compound with notable applications in respiratory health due to its mucolytic (mucus-thinning), antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent studies have explored its potential benefits across various respiratory conditions. Key Findings from Recent Research:Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD):A comprehensive review highlighted that high-dose NAC (โฅ1200 mg/day) can reduce the frequency of COPD…
Tasty and Bad: Two Sides of the Advanced Glycation End Products.
Addition below: New analysis disputes the assumption in the headline. Advanced Glycation End Products (AGEs) are harmful compounds formed when sugars react with proteins or fats in a process called glycation. This happens naturally in the body over time but can also occur when food is cooked at high temperatures (like grilling, frying, or roasting).…
Important article about Vitamin B12 and aging
A recent study published in the Annals of Neurology on February 10, 2025, investigated the relationship between vitamin B12 levels and brain health in older adults. The researchers found that even when vitamin B12 levels are within the normal range, lower concentrations can be linked to subtle brain changes and cognitive issues. Key Findings:Brain Structure…
Alpha-lipoic Acid Review: Anti-Aging, Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory, and Neuroprotective Effects
Alpha-lipoic acid isย an antioxidant made by the body. It is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack “free radicals,” waste products created when the body turns food into energy. It is also available as a dietary supplement Alpha-lipoic Acid: An Antioxidant with Anti-aging Properties for Disease Therapy Numerousย in silico,…
