Two linked discoveries are changing how aging is studied, and what it might mean to treat it. One is a better way to measure...
Nutrient-sensing drugs: rapamycin combinations and metformin

Treat relationships, purpose, and mental load like vital signs.
The people who keep a 50-year-old memory past 80 are not just lucky. They are unusually social, and their brains show it.

If you keep only one health habit, keep this one.
Cardiorespiratory fitness — usually measured as VO₂ max — and muscular strength predict how long...
