Macromolecular Damage Ages Us Prematurely – Autophagy Helps

By Brady Hartman on October 21, 2017

Summary: Macromolecular damage contributes to the chronic diseases of aging by causing DNA damage, inflammaging, stem cell decline, increased cellular stress and cell death. Hopefully, geroscientists may have found a way to repair the damage using compounds like rapamycin that induce autophagy. This article first appeared on the LongevityFacts.com website. Author: Brady Hartman. Macromolecular Damage Ages Us Prematurely As we grow older,… Continue reading "Macromolecular Damage Ages Us Prematurely – Autophagy Helps"

AGEs DamAGE Our Bodies. (Advanced glycation end-products)

By Brady Hartman on October 19, 2017

Summary: AGEs (advanced glycation end-products) are in the spotlight again as geroscientists implicate this toxic waste of our bodies in a multitude of health conditions, including inflammaging, cancer, and diabetes. Some scientists go as far as to link AGEs to an increase in the chronic inflammation which leads to heart attacks. [This article first appeared on the website LongevityFacts.com.

Why Inflammaging Causes Disease and Premature Aging

By Brady Hartman on October 11, 2017

Summary: Inflammaging is a low-grade inflammation brought on by old age. It accelerates the aging process and worsens diseases like cancer and heart disease. Because inflammaging accelerates aging, geroscientists are perfecting a few cures for the condition. As we age, most of us tend to develop a low-grade chronic inflammation that causes disease and damage throughout the body. Because this low-level… Continue reading "Why Inflammaging Causes Disease and Premature Aging"

Does Our Microbiome Cause Inflammaging? Can We Trust Our Gut?

By Brady Hartman on October 10, 2017

Does our microbiome cause inflammaging, the low-level chronic inflammation that plagues our bodies as we get older? A new research paper examines the question, and their findings just might surprise you. Many people still regard bacteria and other microorganisms as mere disease-causing germs. However, it’s a lot more complicated than that. In fact, it has become increasingly clear that a… Continue reading "Does Our Microbiome Cause Inflammaging? Can We Trust Our Gut?"

New Breakthrough Drug Canakinumab Slashes Heart Attack and Cancer in Clinical Trial

By Brady Hartman on August 27, 2017

Summary: The drug Canakinumab reduced heart attacks by 25% and cancer by 50% by reducing chronic inflammation, according to the authors of the recent CANTOS trial. [This report was originally published on LongevityFacts on Aug 27, 2017, and has been updated. Author: Brady Hartman] In late August, researchers announced that they had found a breakthrough drug which reduces heart attack risk by one-fourth… Continue reading "New Breakthrough Drug Canakinumab Slashes Heart Attack and Cancer in Clinical Trial"
