Your diet plays a crucial role in how you age—discover six common foods that may accelerate ageing and impact your youthful glow.

Typical ageing, stress, illness, genetics, diet and more can all influence how often cells replicate and how much length the telomeres retain, says a researcher Telomere length reflects how quickly or slowly a person's cells are ageing So examining telomere length could allow scientists to identify one way in which caloric restriction may slow ageing in humans

Sarcopenia is considered a hidden or invisible condition because, unless you test your muscle strength, you may not know if you're losing muscle mass The grip test is a simple test you can do for yourself which is as simple as opening a jar, squeezing an orange, or detecting the strength of your handshake If you see a difference in your strength, it's time to take action.

This study suggests that taurine could be an elixir of life within us that helps us live longer and healthier lives. 

The study reveals a reduction in body weight of 1 percent, due to the consumption of a green Mediterranean diet, led to the participants' brain age being almost 9 months younger than the expected brain age. 

Skin Tips: Dr Geetika Mittal Gupta, Skin Expert, and Cosmetologist lists out natural ways to slow down the ageing process:

Long-term exercise profoundly benefits the aging brain and may prevent aging-related memory function decline, say researchers Long-term running was found to enhance the recruitment of presynaptic (sub)-cortical cells to their network Running not only rescued perirhinal connectivity but also increased and altered the contribution of the entorhinal cortices to the network of old adult-born neurons

Brain morphology and connections change according to the environment and the experiences However, as we age, this 'brain plasticity' decreases The brain also loses grey matter, where our precious neurons are located, which gradually leads to a cognitive decline

As we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to dry skin and the formation of fine lines and wrinkles This process of ageing is accelerated by the consumption of sugar Sugar has become very common in almost every packaged food item that’s available these days

Though the findings, published in the journal eLife, are at an early stage of exploration, they could revolutionise regenerative medicine.

Muscle mass and fitness is an important indicator of how we will age There are several easy ways one can delay or prevent muscle loss

Scientists at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) studied ageing in yeast to try to understand if different cells age at the same rate, and for the same reason. They chose yeast because the cells are easily manipulated. The scientists discovered that even cells made of the same genetic materials and within the same environment aged in distinct ways.

Ageing is a natural process that can't be stopped but you can try slowing down its effects by making positive lifestyle choices.

Ageing is a natural process and we must embrace it gracefully.

The Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad (IIT-H) will undertake a study on the ways in which ageing is conceptualised within in-vitro fertilization (IVF) by researching on elderly couples conceiving and birthing children through the method, it was announced here on Monday.

Want to age slowly and live a longer life? Eat right, get adequate sleep and stay positive.

The study showed that loss of muscle mass and strength did not occur in those who exercise regularly.

Dementia primarily afflicts older people and is marked by memory loss and an inability to perform tasks.

Enterococci are hardy microbes that thrive in the gastrointestinal tracts of nearly all land animals, including our own, and generally cause no harm. 

The reason that antioxidants are often touted as 'anti-ageing' compounds is that they help protect from age-related diseases, which are caused in part by free radicals and inflammation.
