Decade long study proves that you can delay aging by making smarter food choices

11/10/2016 - Aging is a natural process our bodies go through and isn't something you can stop from happening. For decades, scientists have searched for the fountain of youth to no avail. However, a team of Korean scientists might be on to something when it comes to delaying the aging process. They found that...

Standing increases longevity and builds telomeres

2/26/2015 - Standing up is good for your health. People who stand live longer and have longer telomeres, an indicator of good health and longevity. Sitting is tied to disease and aging. Research has now shown that standing instead of sitting can prevent telomere shortening. Circuit training is also recommended,...

Mediterranean diet slows cellular aging, study shows

12/15/2014 - It's no secret that the quest for maintaining longevity is a long sought-after goal for many people. A bevy of options exist, from certain exercise regimens and essential oils to fad diets and creams, many of which promise to keep aging and overall health decline at bay.

3 easy habits for a long, disease-free life

4/28/2014 - Telomeres (tiny bits of DNA that influence longevity and health) have been causing quite a stir among researchers lately --- and for good reason. The length of these protective caps on the end of chromosomes determine how quickly cells age, and how prone we are to having a stroke or developing cancer,...

Control your telomeres to earn positive marks on your genetic spellchecker

9/13/2013 - Everyone over 50 and anyone actively preventing biological harm in their youth may be wise to focus on the frontiers of gerontology. Telomere length may accurately report both healthy and unhealthy choices made in an individual's past. They cap the ends of chromosomes and are a functional unit measured...

Mindfulness meditation may slow aging

11/22/2012 - Meditation techniques centered on being in the present moment have been used in healing and spiritual practices for thousands of years. In recent times, scientists have discovered that these ancient meditation practices have specific, measurable effects on the body -- including, as Natural News has...

Omega-3 supplements again shown to preserve telomeres and extend natural lifespan

High levels of anxiety and stress can shorten lifespan by up to six years

7/25/2012 - Scientists have placed increasing emphasis on the science of telomeres over the past decade, as they continue to uncover how these zipper-like structures that bind our genetic destiny can prematurely shorten in response to environmental and lifestyle factors. Prior studies have found that our telomeres...

Carnosine and lifestyle changes inhibit telomere shortening to lower heart attack risk and extend lifespan

3/1/2012 - Scientists have understood the basic mechanism of telomeres, the small zipper-like capsules that bind our DNA genetic material and enable precise cellular reproduction, for more than a decade now. As each cell replicates, the telomere shortens and the potential life-cycle of the cell diminishes slightly...

Targeted nutrients naturally extend telomere length and provide anti-aging effect

12/29/2011 - Many factors are known to contribute to human lifespan. Many natural health followers carefully control their diet to include organic choices of fruits and vegetables in their natural, uncooked state, while remaining physically active and maintaining body weight within a healthy range.

Reverse the Aging Process Naturally, Part II

8/20/2010 - There are 75 trillion cells within the human body. The function and aging process of each of these cells dictates the function and aging process of our body. Additionally, we have major hormones such as insulin and growth hormone that regulate metabolism and cellular division. The most critical steps...

Reverse the Aging Process Naturally, Part I

7/28/2010 - The anti-aging industry has seen incredible growth over the last 10 years. According to several reports the industry is projected to exceed 115 billion in 2010.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids Prevent Heart Disease, Slow Aging and Delay Telomere Shortening

2/22/2010 - Research has now shown that adding Omega-3 fatty acids to the diet can increase the survival rate of those with coronary heart disease. Omega-3s have also been shown to slow down the aging process. The marker used to determine these findings was a part of the DNA strand called telomeres. The research...

Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-aging effect on cells

1/28/2010 - As NaturalNews has previously reported, omega-3s, the fatty acids found primarily in cold water fish like salmon, have a host of health benefits, including alleviating depression (https://www.naturalnews.com/027285_omega-3_depression_fatty_acids.html), preventing age-related blindness (https://www.naturalnews.com/026856_omega-3_macular_degeneration_disease.html)...

Receive Anti-Aging Benefits with Exercise

12/30/2009 - According to a new study, funded by The German Research Association and the University of Saarland, and published in "Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association," intense exercise acts to help prevent the shortening of telomeres. The gradual shortening of telomeres through cell divisions...

New research: long-term physical activity slows aging on the cellular level

12/17/2009 - Telomeres, regions of DNA which protect the ends of chromosomes from destruction, have made big news in 2009. In fact, the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded this year to researchers who investigated the nature of telomeres. Why all the interest? It appears telomeres hold the key to why...

Research Reveals that Certain Forms of Astragalus Contain Molecules that Reverse Aging

10/23/2009 - The 2009 Nobel Prize in Physiology of Medicine was awarded jointly to Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider, and Jack W.
