As athletes age, maintaining peak performance becomes increasingly challenging. But what if the secret to enhanced endurance was hiding in the produce aisle all along? A new study suggests that beetroot juice, a natural source of nitrates, could be the key to unlocking better performance in older athletes.

Introduction to the Condition

There's now definitive proof that hair greying is reversible, albeit rare, in humans. What's more, stressful life events play a primary role in triggering your hair to turn grey, while relaxation -- like a two-week vacation -- may help give your roots back their original color

Grey hair is one of the earliest and most obvious signs of aging. By the time most people reach their 30s, hair begins to go grey, becoming progressively greyer with time. It's generally assumed that once a hair goes grey, there's no going back, but a team from Columbia University in New York and colleagues suggests this may not be the case.

Could the age old search for the 'fountain of youth' be as accessible and simple as cutting down on caloric intake?

Cutting just 25% of calories over 2 years slowed biological aging and improved health for healthy adults, reports a new study in Nature Aging.^[1] The findings provide more evidence that mild long-term calorie restriction can partially reverse molecular damage accumulation underlying age-related disease.  

In the quest for youthful, radiant skin, a groundbreaking study has revealed that the secret to turning back the clock may lie in an unexpected source - the humble Bonito fish

A recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study has shed light on a promising natural solution for combating the signs of aging skin. The research, published in the journal Skin Research and Technology, investigated the effects of oral consumption of a Bonito fish-derived elastin peptide (VGPG Elastin®) on skin wrinkles, hydration, and pigmentation.¹

Your telomeres are a reflection of your life decisions, a way to measure how well you are aging.

In 1961, a biologist named Leonard Haflick discovered how the human body ages.  Most of our cells make copies of themselves over and over again until they die.  This is called cellular senescence.  Here are a few important facts about cell divisions:

Americans are obsessed with reducing the effects of aging on their hair, skin, muscles and brain. Here are five substances that can improve the aging process and five more that dramatically worsen the effects of time on your body

Many of you are aware that how you look and feel largely depends on what you put into your body. The health of your gut, brain, eyes, muscles and even skin can be improved or worsened through your diet and lifestyle choices.

How we do our laundry, clean our homes and bathe ourselves has changed more in the last 70 years than it has in the previous 7,000 years. None of these changes have been kind to your skin, or good for your health.

The name brand chemical based laundry detergents, household cleaners, soaps, and shampoos  that you use in your day to day life contain carcinogens, neurotoxins and envirotoxins.
