#Geroscience can't agree what #aging is

www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Even more problematic:

Each geroscientist is convinced that they themselves know what aging is

What do you think aging is?
— Loss of function?
— Accumulated damage?
— A disease?
— A continuation of development?
What is ageing? Even the field’s researchers can’t agree
Survey of scientists who study ageing finds no consensus on the fundamentals.

Can #antioxidant #supplements cause toxicity to sperm and offspring?

In mouse study:

— N-acetylcysteine & selenium given to adult males
— no effect on adult male
— babies show facial & skull deformities associated with fetal alcohol syndrome

Followers of Dr. Huberman are disappointed

They wonder: could all his health results are simply from enhanced #testosterone?

VO2max and #longevity

— higher VO2 max means you’re more capable of doing strenuous activity
— strong correlation between VO2 max and survival
— VO2 max linked to 21% lower risk of death over 45 yr follow-up

Why a VO2 Max Test Reveals So Much About Overall Health and Longevity
Hardcore endurance athletes have tracked the metric for decades, but it is increasingly touted as a measure of fitness and health for the average person.

In addition to microRNA regulation, Dicer intrigues me with how it inhibits LINE-1 endogenous retrovirus transposition and is critical for genome integrity and stem cell renewal

These 6 plus:
- farmer's carry,
- any club / zumba / horizontal dancing,
- yoga,
- nature
Integrate them as natural facts of life at any adult age. No, you don't understand, do it.
It's not for being able to pick up grandkids at 70. It's for your head, sleep, being competent at anything whenever.

Excellent proposals!

We demonstrate love and respect for ourselves when we exercise our bodies and immerse ourselves in the natural world!

Right on

I’m looking forward to marketing a new way to brew coffee in ice water that mellows the flavor to something closer to milk chocolate

It may be more palatable for people who find traditional coffee way too bitter

I’m studying how glutamate signaling helps promote cell metabolism and regulation/repair

Caffeine appears to interact with it

Someday it would be important to see how serotonin regulation is affected too
