How fit is your gut microbiome? New research shows duration and not intensity of exercise is most important
Exercise has many benefits — strengthening muscles and bones, preventing disease and extending lifespan. It is also known to change the composition and activity of the trillions of microbes in our guts known as the microbiome. It is well known that the microbiomes of athletes are different from those who are sedentary. This is not […]
Researchers provide a framework to study precision nutrigeroscience
Dietary restriction is arguably the most promising non-genetic method of extending lifespan and healthspan in many model organisms, including mammals. While researchers scramble to develop interventions that would mimic the benefits of dietary restrictions in humans (who generally have a hard time maintaining Spartan diets), the work from the lab of Buck professor Pankaj Kapahi, […]
