51-year-old astronaut Scott Kelly lived in the International Space Station for almost a year while his identical twin brother Mark continued with life on earth. As an astronaut, Scott is a member of group that’s been studied in greater depth than any other living humans. As part of a special study, so was his earthbound twin.

The many negatives of space travel were expected to take their toll on Scott’s health — and they did.

Google’s futurist explains how anyone can extend their life.

The scene last weekend at the Westgate, a Las Vegas mega resort, was like many others in Sin City. Alongside the one-armed bandits and craps tables, around 1,000 people milled around a mega convention centre. Many would have been close to pensionable age, and came from all corners of the Earth. But all the attendees at the event, RAADfest, were pursuing something out of the ordinary: immortality.

‘Immortalists’ say they have discovered how to slow and perhaps even reverse the ageing process — but is that really a good thing?

We’re continuing to release talks from Ending Age-Related Diseases 2019, our highly successful two-day conference that featured talks from leading researchers and investors, bringing them together to discuss the future of aging and rejuvenation biotechnology.

Sree Kant of Life Biosciences discussed investment and R&D in an aging world, demonstrating the necessity of rejuvenation biotechnology in keeping people over the age of 65 healthy and productive. He showed that we need effective treatments for the root causes of aging rather than just downstream conditions, bringing up the necessity of a broad rejuvenation ecosystem that uses VC and other investment to fund companies that focus on these root causes.

_{Diet Plan For Old Age: Reduced food intake must be implemented early and be sustained.}

Someone has rightly said, ‘healthy eating begins with you.’ Nourishing your body with the right nutrients and maintaining a healthy weight can help you stay active and independent even as you age. According to a recent study published in the journal Nature Metabolism, reduced intake of food in both humans and animals may improve health in their old age, further leading to longevity. However, in order to improve health in old age and to extend lifespan, the pattern of the diet (diet plan) must be established earlier in life. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing, the Excellence Cluster for Ageing Research at the University of Cologne, the Babraham Institute in Cambridge and UCL observed that mice become healthier when they were fed in moderation from early stage and maintained it before entering old age.

Here’s how genomic instability messes with your body and contributes to aging.

Want to stay young for long? If so, start exercising four to five times a week as it may help keep your heart stay healthy and slow down ageing, according to researchers.

Research showed that different sizes of arteries are affected differently by varying amounts of exercise.

While exercising for about two to three days a week for about 30 minutes may be sufficient to minimise stiffening of middle-sized arteries, exercising for about four to five days a week is required to keep the larger central arteries youthful.
