Alexander German asks since we can’t fix every failure mode of human biology yet, what if we paused the organism instead? Being young and healthy is universally desirable. Retaining and restoring youth and health has fascinated humankind from mythology to modern science. As early as the 17th century, Robert Boyle included it among his “desiderata” – his scientific wish list. Today, longevity and rejuvenation research attract more attention than ever. Promising evidence is emerging from animal models, but translating these interventions to humans looks long and bumpy. The aging process is deeply baked into our biology. For many people alive…
Although consumer demand for mind health supplements is rising, brands are still facing major regulatory barriers in the EU when marketing key ingredients such as Ayurvedic herbs, probiotics, cannabidiol (CBD) and mushroom-derived ingredients, due to complex novel food classifications.Katia Merten-Lentz, a food law expert and partner at Food Law Science and Partners, told NutraIngredients much of this is down to the EU’s strict interpretation of health-claim law.EU regulations on health claimsEU regulation treats general well-being statements as health claims and prohibits food business operators from using them unless they meet specific conditions, Merten-Lentz explained.EU regulations strictly control what companies can…
As you get older, it’s important to eat foods with essential nutrients like fiber, protein, calcium and vitamin D. The good news? All of these dishes help support healthy aging and have at least 20% of the recommended daily value of two or more of these nutrients to meet our parameters for healthy aging.

Recipes like High-Protein Lemon Chicken & Rice Skillet and Marry Me White Bean Soup are nourishing options to enjoy a balanced and delicious meal. Love these…
Think you’re getting enough fiber in your diet? Chances are, even if you eat really healthy (including lots of fruits, veggies, and whole grains) you’re still likely falling short on getting enough of this critical carb. In fact, it’s estimated that 95% of all Americans don’t get enough fiber and are missing out on the benefits of a high-fiber diet (think satiety, blood sugar control, and better gut health).*
Biological age test that measures ‘biological noise’ across organs has already been adopted by hundreds of longevity clinics worldwide.

According to Generation Lab, SystemAge quantifies biological age through direct physiological measurement…

Spinach-and-artichoke dip lovers will love the creamy flavor in this satisfying recipe.Spaghetti squash nests can be easily modified with more protein and different ingredient swaps.

Although maple syrup is mostly sugar (and a type of added sugar, albeit it a natural one), it may have some health benefits in the form of trace minerals and antioxidants (compounds that help neutralize cell-damaging substances known as free radicals). “Maple syrup contains polyphenols such as quebecol and minerals like manganese and riboflavin,” Sarris says. Lab and animal studies suggest that these compounds may have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.[3]But human research is limited, and at typical serving sizes, maple syrup isn’t considered a meaningful source of antioxidants or protective nutrients, Sarris adds.Maple syrup also has the benefit of a…
Protein has a way of stirring controversy. One week, headlines warn that eating too much red meat or dairy might shorten your lifespan. The next, experts stress that most adults actually aren’t getting enough protein to support muscle, hormones, and healthy aging. So what’s the truth?
