A rice wine native to the Philippines has grabbed the attention of researchers looking into new, natural ways to slow biological aging. But it's not the wine itself – sorry – in the spotlight, but what's leftover after the liquid is ready to bottled.

Men tend to be happier with life when they're married, as many studies have identified over the last few decades. But new research shows they also become fatter. In fact, they're three times more likely to be obese than men who remained unmarried.

A survey of 143 low-, middle-, and high-income countries has revealed which ones are most prepared to support the world’s rapidly aging population in areas like well-being, equity, and security – and which ones aren’t. And it's not good news for the US.

Declining brain function is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be delayed. A new study found that physical activity can boost brain function for up to 24 hours and, independent of exercise, so can a good night’s sleep.

Binge-drinking in early adult years fundamentally changes how brain neurons communicate, in what scientists equate to a faulty gas pedal in a car that needs more pressure applied to "go." This type of dysfunction is also seen in Alzheimer's disease.

Finding time to exercise each day is a challenge for many people, but a new study of nearly 15,000 men and women has discovered that adding just five minutes of daily activity that gets your heart rate up is enough to lower your blood pressure.
