Don’t Let The Old Man In: How To Develop A Longevity Mindset And Fight Psychological Aging?

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

Overall, the results indicate that failure-oriented people are more likely to make poor health choices, presumably due to a lack of proper motivation. When looking at the cause of death for each author, results also showed a strong link between failure motivation and whether or not the death could be considered preventable.

As we can see from this study and many other similar studies, people who expect failure are generally less effective in maintaining good health habits. On the other hand, a positive outlook can play a powerful role in our health decisions. Healthy behaviors include regular exercise, good nutrition, an active lifestyle, and full compliance with medical advice., all of which require strong motivation to ensure we stay the course. A positive mindset also makes us avoid unhealthy activities such as drinking, smoking, and prolonged inactivity. People who develop a failure mindset, whether due to health setbacks, hopelessness, or a general sense of fatalism, often make lifestyle decisions that can undermine their overall health and, as a result, their longevity.

New Research Finds That With Obesity, the Problem Isn’t an Excess of Fat but Its Loss of Function

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension

What exactly is Obesity?


Obesity is known to cause cardiometabolic diseases like hypertension and diabetes but attributing these diseases to merely an overabundance of fat is a simplification. On a basic level, fat acts as a receptacle to store energy, but upon a closer look it is an essential actor in vital bodily processes like the immune response, the regulation of insulin sensitivity, and maintenance of body temperature. In a review published in the journal Cell on February 3rd, 2022, researchers argue that the negative health effects of obesity stem not simply from an excess of fat but from the decline in its ability to respond to changes, or in other words, its plasticity.

The makeup and functioning of this tissue changes in response to weight fluctuations and aging. As fat declines in plasticity due to aging and obesity, it loses its ability to respond to bodily cues. In the current model of this phenomenon, the rapid growth of adipose tissue outpaces its blood supply, depriving the fat cells of oxygen and causing the accumulation of cells that no longer divide. This leads to insulin resistance, inflammation, and cell death accompanied by the uncontrolled spill of lipids from these cells.

NSW swamped

Posted by in categories: government, life extension

New South Wales has again received an overwhelming response from aspiring developers of wind, solar and storage projects, with more than 34GW of proposals for the South-West Renewable Energy Zone, more than 10 times its likely capacity.

The state government, through its newly formed Energy Corporation of NSW, ran a registration of interest process in October and November for the south-west region, one of at least five REZs planned to help replace the ageing coal fleet over the coming decade.

“There were 49 registrations totalling over 34 gigawatts from potential generation and storage projects – thirteen times the intended capacity for the South-West REZ, which will be no less than 2.5 gigawatts,” James Hay, the CEO of Energy Corp, said in a statement on Friday.

Iron Accumulation Linked With Age-Related Cognitive Decline

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, neuroscience

Summary: A breakdown in regulatory mechanisms causes iron to build up in the brain during aging, increasing oxidative stress and increasing the risk of age-related cognitive decline, a new study reports.

Breakdowns in regulatory mechanisms cause iron to build up in the brain as organisms grow older, increasing oxidative stress and causing cellular damage, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in the journal eLife.
