Scientists have identified multiple genes that regulate physical strength and biological age. Most notable among them are those involved in the sustainability of our muscle tissue. It’s the decrease in the expression of these genes that causes our muscle to deteriorate dragging down our healing power. When does the aging process start? We can’t [...]

In the past decade, science broke through many previous taboos in understanding and deciphering molecular, cellular and genetic aging. The new science of longevity was born - Longevity is not a new topic. It has been an area of interest since man became a self-conscious being, providing great fodder throughout the years for science [...]
Disease or organ failure through accident or injury may be empowered to claim life, but never aging – nothing dies from simply being old. Celebrating birthdays should never be perceived as a punishment – something that drains the life out of us with each passing year. It is a grand accomplishment, a celebration of [...]
