Today Show interviewed Mara Mather on the possible cognitive benefits of drumboxing, an exercise class that provides both a physical and mental challenge. “When you are doing something where you have to keep multiple short-term memories, short little programs, in mind, that’s really one of the most effective cognitive workouts that we can have for the brain.”

Earth.com, New York Post (republished by Yahoo News) and Telegraph reported on a study led by Valter Longo that showed a fasting-mimicking diet can lower a person’s biological age. “This is the first study to show that a food-based intervention that does not require chronic dietary or other lifestyle changes can make people biologically younger, based on both changes in risk factors for ageing and disease,” Longo said.
Medical Xpress and Medriva covered a study by Valter Longo that indicates cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet can reduce disease risk factors and lower biological age in humans.
USC study shows how cycles of a fasting-mimicking diet reduce insulin resistance, liver fat, immune system aging, and biological age in clinical trial patients. Continue Reading Fasting-Like Diet Lowers Risk Factors for Disease, Reduces Biological Age in Humans
