In a new systemic review published in Autophagy Reports, researchers have demonstrated that exercise plays a role in regulating autophagy, depending on its type [1]. Manipulating autophagy  Disabled autophagy was recently acknowledged as a hallmark of aging. Indeed, boosting the ability of cells to get rid of unnecessary and damaged organelles and molecules is considered...

A new biomarker for measuring biological aging based on physical fitness has been published in Aging, and it has been found to be useful in predicting health issues.

In a new systematic review, researchers have shown that combining some dietary supplements and exercise might be beneficial for people over the age of 60 [1]. A double-edged sword Chronic low-level inflammation accompanies many hereditary and age-associated diseases. Inflammation also plays an important role in ‘healthy’ aging, so it was recently acknowledged as another hallmark...

Scientists have found that the time of day when you exercise might be an important factor in lowering all-cause and cardiovascular mortality [1]. Exercise is good, but what about timing? The value of physical activity for health and longevity is unquestionable [2], even if some doubts remain about its optimal composition and quantity. However, little...

Researchers have shown that a particular walking style that many people immediately recognize can count as high-intensity exercise [1]. Does exercise have to be boring? In the fight against aging, anything goes. As we have reported numerous times, exercise is one of the most effective anti-aging interventions known to humans. Physical activity, especially of high...

In a study published in Nature Medicine, scientists have shown that short bouts of everyday vigorous physical activity, such as stair climbing, are associated with a considerable reduction in mortality risk, especially in cardiovascular mortality [1]. Everyday activities and health Exercise is one of the most effective anti-aging interventions available [2], but not everyone has...
