Kim Ji-young, 40, wakes up at 5 a.m. every day for a run. “This is what I’ve been doing since January last year,” the early riser said. “The morning run is a great routine for me. It energizes me for the whole day. I don’t know why I didn’t start earlier.” The mid-level marketing manager is currently training for a 10-kilometer marathon scheduled for October. “This isn’t just about losing weight. This is the lifestyle I want — setting a goal, doing it. The sense of reward is amazing — mentally, psychologically and physically. I highly recommend it,” she said. There are days when Kim hesitates, especially after a long, tiring day at work. “Sometimes I wake up and think, ‘Oh, maybe I’ll skip it today. I’m too tired,’” she said. “But then I reframe the moment as a mental challenge. I decided to do it no matter what, so I will do it. I don’t want to spend the rest of the day feeling guilty about breaking a promise to myself. Of course, if I’m really exhausted, I skip it — but most of the

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard suggests that a Mediterranean-style diet may help reduce dementia risk. The study, published in Nature Medicine, found that people at the highest genetic risk for Alzheimer's disease benefited more from following a Mediterranean-style diet, showing a greater reduction in dementia risk compared to those at lower genetic risk.

Editor's Note: This article is a reprint. It was originally published April 14, 2024. Over the past decade, I’ve written many articles discussing the evidence of biological harm from nonionizing electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation and radiofrequency radiation (RFR) from wireless technologies. The video above features an interview I did with Siim Land in February 2020 for his Body Mind Empowerment podcast in which I discuss EMF — what it is, your greatest sources of exposure, how it affects your biology, and how to minimize your exposure. I also review how the telecommunications industry manipulates the truth to keep you unaware of the hazards. While the wireless industry is built on the premise that the only type of radiation capable of causing harm is ionizing — X-rays being one example — researchers have for a long time warned that even nonionizing and non-heating radiation can jeopardize your health. This includes not only human health, but also that of plants and

Translation is the process by which cells manufacture many copies of a protein from one messenger RNA sequence encoding that protein. This takes place in one of the many ribosomes present in the cell, after which a newly assembled protein is folded within the endoplasmic reticulum. Translation is important, and so has evolved to be highly efficient. Errors nonetheless occur, and are corrected by various processes that identify broken, misfolded, and other problem proteins and ensure they are broken down for recycling. Those quality assurance processes have also evolved to be highly efficient. Correctly formed proteins are necessary for cell function, and malformed proteins will tend to cause harm in proportion to their numbers. Nonetheless, different species exhibit different degrees of efficiency in translation. A […]

Circulating oxytocin levels decline with age, and researchers have shown that restoring oxytocin to youthful levels has beneficial effects in aged animal models. Oxytocin is produced in the hypothalamus, and thus a range of different delivery mechanisms could work to replace this source. Here, researchers use an intranasal route for the introduction of replacement oxytocin, and show that it produces the expected benefits in aged mice. While it is well-documented that plasma oxytocin (OXT) levels decline with age, the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. This study aimed to elucidate the physiological mechanisms contributing to this age-related decrease in plasma OXT and the possible use of OXT supplementation on improving age-related decline of neural function. Comparing young (9 weeks) and aged (older than 45 weeks) mice, aged […]

Scientists at UCSF have uncovered a surprising culprit behind brain aging: a protein called FTL1. In mice, too much FTL1 caused memory loss, weaker brain connections, and sluggish cells. But when researchers blocked it, the animals regained youthful brain function and sharp memory. The discovery suggests that one protein could be the master switch for aging in the brain — and targeting it may one day allow us to actually reverse cognitive decline, not just slow it down.

arXiv:2508.13870v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The recent emergence of extreme climate events has significantly raised awareness about sustainable living. In addition to developing energy-saving materials and technologies, existing research mainly relies on traditional methods that encourage behavioral shifts towards sustainability, which can be overly demanding or only passively engaging. In this work, we propose to employ recommendation systems to actively nudge users toward more sustainable choices. We introduce Green Recommender Aligned with Personalized Eating (GRAPE), which is designed to prioritize and recommend sustainable food options that align with users' evolving preferences. We also design two innovative Green Loss functions that cater to green indicators with either uniform or differentiated priorities, thereby enhancing adaptability across a range of scenarios. Extensive experiments on a real-world dataset demonstrate the effectiveness of our GRAPE.

Researchers here note that the state of research into the relationships between exercise, physical fitness, and epigenetic aging (or indeed, any other assessment of biological age provided by forms of aging clock) is patchy at best. There are at present too few studies and too little data for researchers to be able to confidently describe the degree to which various levels of exercise and fitness affect aging clocks, as compared to what it is possible to achieve for well-investigated outcomes such as risk of age-related disease and mortality. The concept of an epigenetic clock is a predictive model based on DNA methylation patterns that provides a more accurate estimate of biological age than chronological age. Physical activity has emerged as a modifiable lifestyle factor that […]

arXiv:2508.12998v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Urban greenery is often linked to better health, yet findings from past research have been inconsistent. One reason is that official greenery metrics measure the amount or nearness of greenery but ignore how often people actually may potentially see or use it in daily life. To address this gap, we introduced a new classification that separates on-road greenery, which people see while walking through streets, from off-road greenery, which requires planned visits. We did so by combining aerial imagery of Greater London and greenery data from OpenStreetMap with quantified greenery from over 100,000 Google Street View images and accessibility estimates based on 160,000 road segments. We linked these measures to 7.45 billion medical prescriptions issued by the National Health Service and processed through our methodology. These prescriptions cover five conditions: diabetes, hypertension, asthma, depression, and anxiety, as well as opioid use.

The practice of calorie restriction involves eating fewer calories while still obtaining at least adequate levels of micronutrients. Mild calorie restriction might be a 10% reduction from recommended calorie levels, but as much as 40% is possible given sufficient diligence and attention to the details. Calorie restriction induces sweeping metabolic changes that collectively act to improve cell and tissue function. The present consensus is that the most important of these changes is enhanced autophagy. Autophagy is a collection of maintenance processes responsible for recycling damaged proteins and structures in the cell. In near all species assessed to date, calorie restriction slows aging and improves health. Diet influences disease progression, yet the effects of fasting on acute kidney injury (AKI) and its transition to chronic kidney […]
