Does SRSF1 Reverse Ageing? One Gene, Real Cells, Zero Human Proof
Does SRSF1 reverse ageing? In old human cells in a dish and in aged mice, boosting this one gene shifted cells toward a younger state and extended median lifespan by 14%. In people, it has not been tested at all. That gap, between a striking laboratory result and any human evidence, is the whole story […]
Can You Train Processing Speed, the Brain Skill Tied to Longer Life?
Short answer: Yes, probably. In a study of 4,561 Australian adults followed for a median of 11.3 years, each standard-deviation increase in processing speed was linked to 32% lower mortality (hazard ratio 0.68), after adjusting for education, lifestyle and health factors. And in the ACTIVE trial of about 2,800 older adults, ten hours of adaptive […]
What 6 Habits Are Aging You Faster? (And What to Do Instead)
What 6 Habits Are Aging You Faster? What 6 habits are aging you faster? Smoking, sitting all day, sleeping under 6 hours, drinking heavily, living on ultra-processed food and chronic loneliness. Researchers can now estimate how fast your body is aging by reading chemical marks on your DNA, known as epigenetic clocks, and all six […]
What Are the Top 3 Supplements for Longevity? What Research Actually Supports
The short answer What are the top 3 supplements for longevity? Ranked strictly by human evidence on ageing-relevant outcomes, they are: omega-3 fatty acids (1 g a day, the only supplement with trial evidence of slowed biological ageing), vitamin D3 (2,000 IU a day, strongest as part of a three-part stack that cut invasive cancer […]
What Increases Lifespan the Most? Ranked by the Evidence.
Ask ten longevity enthusiasts what increases lifespan the most and you will get ten different answers: metformin, rapamycin, cold plunges, NAD boosters, fasting. The published evidence gives a much less exciting, much more useful answer. The single biggest lever ever measured in humans is quitting smoking, worth about a decade of life. Stack five ordinary […]
Can You Gain Muscle From Creatine Without Exercise? What the 12-Week Trial Found
Creatine without exercise sounds like a contradiction. For decades the default advice has been that creatine only pays off when paired with hard training. A new 12-week trial from Texas A&M University, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2026, tested that assumption directly: sedentary but healthy adults aged 45 […]
Can Sleep Slow Biological Ageing? A Proteomic Protocol Read
Here is the short answer. In a 2026 Aging Cell study of 93,249 UK Biobank adults, longer total sleep duration, more deep sleep and more REM sleep were each associated with lower risk of most of nine hallmarks of ageing, while more time awake after falling asleep and more irregular sleep schedules were associated with […]
Can Habit Stacking Add Years to Your Life? What the 60,000-Person Study Found
Can habit stacking really add years to your life? Here is the short answer. A University of Sydney study of nearly 60,000 UK Biobank adults found that people who combined small improvements in sleep, movement and diet were associated with up to 9.35 additional years of life and 9.45 additional years of healthspan, compared with […]
Can Activating AMPK Extend Your Lifespan? What the 3-Species Study Really Found
Can AMPK activation extend lifespan? In humans, no one has shown it. In three much simpler organisms, yes. A study published in Aging Cell on 29 September 2026 found that directly switching on AMPK, the cell’s energy sensor, extended lifespan in fission yeast, roundworms and fruit flies, with gains of more than 25 percent in […]
A New Sardinian Longevity Hotspot: What UIC Researchers Found (and What It Means for Biohackers)
This is research news, not health advice. No study of one village can tell you how to change your own health. There is a new Sardinian longevity village on the map, and the researchers who found it did not go looking for a better diet plan. A team led by the University of Sassari’s Dr. […]
