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"

Can We Reverse Stem Cell Decline and Rejuvenate Our Bodies? (Part 2)

By Brady Hartman on October 8, 2017

Summary: Our stem cells decline with age leading to decreased ability to repair our tissues. Fortunately, a pool of ‘lazy’ stem cells remains in our aging bodies. Given the right growth factors, these lazy stem cell can be woken up to repair our aging organs and tissues. This is part 2 of a two-part series – part 1 of the… Continue reading "Can We Reverse Stem Cell Decline and Rejuvenate Our Bodies? (Part 2)"

Are We Killing Ourselves With Antioxidants? (Why the Free Radical Theory is flawed)

By Brady Hartman on September 20, 2017

Summary: The mitochondrial free radical theory of aging suggests that antioxidant supplements can repair the damage caused by free radicals. However, this practice is contradicted by a large body of evidence which shows that antioxidant supplements are often harmful. Researchers are discovering more effective ways to improve health by clearing our mitochondrial damage caused by free radicals.[Author: Brady Hartman.
