Study: Risk factors for stroke, dementia and latelife depression

Brain health is often linked to age and genetics, but research shows that the picture is more flexible. A large 2025 study published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry identified several modifiable risk factors shared by stroke, dementia, and late-life depression — suggesting that some aspects of brain health may be influenced long […]

Vitamin C for longevity

Vitamin C is often linked to immunity, yet its role in the body goes much further. This water-soluble vitamin also supports collagen formation, antioxidant defense, and iron absorption. All processes that matter for how the body repairs and protects itself over time — but also why its relevant in the longevity conversation. A brand-new 2026 […]

Fast & slow metabolism effects on longevity

Metabolism is often reduced to weight gain, calorie burn, or the idea of having a fast or slow metabolism. In reality, it influences much more. It shapes how your body produces energy, responds to food, supports cellular function, and changes with age. That is why metabolism is closely connected to health, vitality, and longevity. In […]

Hormesis for longevity: Could a little stress actually be good for you?

We live in a world built for comfort. Food arrives at the door, movement is often optional, and discomfort is something most of us try to avoid. That is understandable. Still, the body was never designed for constant ease. It seems to do better when it is challenged, at least a little. That is the […]

Polyphenols and sarcopenia: a scientific review of muscle aging

Muscle strength and mobility play an important role in maintaining an active and independent life as we grow older. Over time, however, the body gradually loses muscle mass and strength — a process that can affect balance, energy levels, and overall physical performance. Scientists have long been interested in understanding the biological mechanisms that drive […]

Small lifestyle changes and longevity

For many people, health and longevity can quickly feel overwhelming. We are often met with long training programs, complex dietary rules, and the idea that living healthier requires major changes and a lot of time. When everyday life is already busy, this can easily become a reason to do nothing at all. But what if […]

Study findings: Aging occurs in phases

Aging is often described as a slow process, where the body changes a little each year. Many people imagine that biological changes happen gradually and evenly throughout adulthood. But the study we take a closer look at here suggests that reality might be more complex. By following healthy adults over several years and analysing thousands […]

Study: Social connection and mortality risk in older adults

When we talk about healthy aging and longevity, the conversation often centers on diet, physical activity, and biological mechanisms. In recent years, however, research has increasingly pointed to social factors as playing a far more significant role in health than previously assumed. A recent systematic review and meta-analysis published in Aging Clinical and Experimental Research […]

Blood pressure and longevity: Why it matters as we age

We all know the phrase, “Watch your blood pressure!”—often said half-jokingly as a reminder to slow down. But what does it actually mean to take care of your blood pressure? And why does it matter if it stays high for years, even when you feel fine? Blood pressure reflects how hard your heart and blood […]
