Insomnia can increase the risk of cardiovascular events, obesity, diabetes, and other illnesses, so scientists are seeking ways to minimize this health threat. A study conducted by Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers demonstrated that using a high-resolution, acoustic stimulation neurotechnology can significantly improve sleep quality and the autonomic nervous system. In this randomized

New research published in the journal Aging Cell has demonstrated that rilmenidine, a drug used to treat hypertension, slows aging and extends lifespan in the model organism C. elegans. In the study, the researchers searched for compounds that induced a gene expression signature similar to caloric restriction. Caloric restriction is a well-known intervention that promotes increased lifespan

A very small study has suggested that just six minutes of daily, high-intensity exercise might extend the brain’s healthspan, and could delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Researchers were interested in whether the availability of a molecule called BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) could be increased in people, because BDNF availability

All organisms have a circadian rhythm. In plants, for example, circadian rhythm helps sense light, temperature, length of the day, and season change to fine-tune processes such as photosynthesis, growth, flowering mechanisms, etc. In humans, the circadian rhythm refers to the body’s physiological response to light and dark changes in 24 hours. The human sleep
