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.

While the price of eggs is unlikely to dip anytime soon, it might be time to find other sources of one of their key nutrients – omega-3. New research on the polyunsaturated fatty acid has uncovered encouraging signs that it can slow biological aging.

A new study is presenting a radical new theory of aging, suggesting two competing theories are actually intertwined. And even more controversially, the billions of dollars being invested in anti-aging treatments may be targeting the wrong mechanism.

Dark chocolate has been extensively studied for its cardiometabolic health benefits, but findings have been inconsistent, spurring heated debates over whether this treat has pros that outweigh the cons. Now, new research puts dark chocolate back on the table, quantifying its impact on type 2 diabetes risk and weight gain in a study of nearly 200,000 US adults.

If you've never heard of fox nuts, you'd be forgiven for assuming that they don't seem particularly palatable. But they're actually starchy seeds harvested from an aquatic lily that boast vast health benefits. And no foxes are harmed in the process.

You might soon be buying anti-aging skincare products containing fish guts, thanks to a new study that found that the innards of two species of seabream possess compounds that fight wrinkles and age spots.

Weight training can be an intimidating and time-consuming exercise, but studies have shown that even light strength-work can speed up weight loss, stave off muscle loss and improve sleep. Now, one clever system has made it not just simple but enjoyable.

A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice. The finding could hold promise for fighting Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and overall cognitive decline.

Diet has a huge role in health and disease as we age, but making long-term changes are not easy. Now, researchers believe it only takes two months of eating differently to significantly reduce your 'biological' age across five major organ systems.

For the first time, scientists have shown how a specific protein increases in our organs as we get older and actively promotes the aging process. By blocking this, we could not only live longer but be protected against physical decline and disease.

In pre-clinical trials, a small molecule effectively regrew neurons, reduced inflammation, and improved memory, speed, coordination, grip strength, and more. The finding could have a profound impact on aging and the diseases that accompany it.

By combining brain scans and nutritional intake data, a study has found a nutrient profile that puts the brakes on brain aging. What's more, that profile matches an easy-to-follow popular eating plan that's been proven to convey multiple benefits.
