Olive Oil & Living Longer: Deep-Dive Of Mediterranean Diet Finds A Secret Code For Longevity
olive oil live longer watch mechanism


Olive Oil & Living Longer An Unexpected Find, With A Twist:
A doctor friend once said, “When you finish medical school, they tell you that half of what you just learned is wrong. The problem is, we don’t know which half.”

So a lot of what we think we know is really just general observations and anecdotes.

Like the success of The Mediterranean Diet.

We know it’s one of the best plans out there, but for the “Why?”, we only have educated-guesses.

Until now. Because a UMinn team looked into some of the more interesting benefits and found they come from really odd places…

Milk Fat Vs. Aging: The Weird Science Of How Something That Always Seemed Healthy May Not Be

Milk Fat Levels Vs. Aging. Cellular Research Finds Stealth Threats:
Sometimes when researchers go hunting, they can approach things from increasingly-unexpected directions.

And even though SCIENCE would seem a pretty arithmetic endeavor,

It makes sense that they need to get increasingly-creative to find new solutions.

And so just the way we hear of more discoveries in the genetic-testing field from companies like 23 And Me,

One such scientist found a cellular-level health-risk in one of the most unexpected places of all…

Finding Meaning In Life: The Discovery That Could Help You Be Happier, Healthier, & Live Longer

Finding Meaning In Life: The Discovery That Could Help You Be Happier, Healthier, & Live Longer

Finding Meaning In Life: A Discovery That Might Help You Live Better:
A lot of the time when we think about health, it can seem fairly nuts & bolts.

But ancient-science has always said there was more to it.

And the more crazy health & wellness sites you read, the more you hear from that point of view.

But since it’s so far-off from the daily, pedestrian, trudge,

Most people might think it’s both a silly and elusive idea that there might be more.

So one more out-there study this time by UCSD, adds another link in the chain connecting lowly body to lofty mind, and it’s appropriate for just this time of year…

Running & Longevity: A Little High-Quality Cardio May Lower Your Risk Of Premature Bucket-Kickage

Running & Longevity: A Little High-Quality Cardio May Lower Your Risk Of Premature Bucket-Kickage

Running & Longevity. Kick-Up The Cardio, Not The Bucket!:
When most people think about their health, it’s almost always about weight-loss.

And as we’ve shown many times before, Nutrition is king when it comes to that.

The question then becomes, “Why Exercise?” “Isn’t that just for vain gym-rats?”

As PE programs seem to dwindle away from schools and we get fatter as a nation, those might seem like increasingly-valid questions.

But as Science progresses, it finds new proof for old ideas; Ex: Food-as-Medicine.

And an Australian team just found out some concrete info on why you might want to consider getting back into exercise…

Optimism & Living Longer: Does A Shift In Your Attitude Also Raise Your Altitude?

Optimism & Living Longer: Does A Shift In Your Attitude Also Raise Your Altitude?

Optimism & Increased-Longevity. Does The Mindset Control Matter?:
The more Science progresses, the weirder it seems to get.

And conversely, it often tends to confirm many adages from a long time ago.

Like the one by Hippocrates about food being medicine and it being a better idea to get your vitamins and minerals there.

Well another old adage is one about being young at heart and never acting your age.

And if the work by BU, Harvard and a few others is right, a positive mindset might actually make the difference between a long life and a shorter one…

Sense Of Purpose And Longevity: You Might Live Longer If You Can Figure Out A Really Good “Why”

Sense Of Purpose And Longevity: You Might Live Longer If You Can Figure Out A Really Good “Why”

Sense Of Purpose & Living Longer. “Why?” Is A Very Important Question:
When most people think about health, the thoughts that come to mind are usually, “Eat Right & Exercise”.

And if they think about brain/mental health, the ideas that come up are: Anxiety and Anti-Depressants.

There’s nothing wrong with that, because those are the big-ticket items in magazines.

But the Yoga & Meditation crowd have subconsciously-circled a much deeper issue.

And scientists from the University of Michigan are finding research-backed evidence that getting the important stuff about your mind right eventually helps your body…

Starting Exercise In Middle Age: It Really Is Never Too Late To Make A Positive Change

Starting Exercise In Middle Age: It Really Is Never Too Late To Make A Positive Change

Starting Exercise In Middle Age. Late Is Better Than Never:
Many of us do what we can to Get healthy.

And then after that, comes the part about Staying healthy.

For example, getting down to a good weight is great for avoiding complications.

But Exercise is even better.

But as scientists study things we thought we knew about, they’re finding-out more things we didn’t.

This is especially-true for the NCI work that found the old saying “Use it or lose it.” might actually be true…

The Probiotic Fountain Of Youth. Eat An Activia, -BOOM, You’re Wolverine! All Because Of Tiny Gut Bacteria.

You Think Activia’s Great? Wait Till You Try This!:
Probiotics that improve health have been the focus of fancy yogurt commercials we’ve all seen once or twice.

Some of them have verged on uncomfortable disclosures by Jamie Lee Curtis on the exact details of her very own G-I functionality. Fascinating.

But fewer people will have read up on the human microbiome & all the strange interactions science is learning about the bugs on us & in us.

And a team in Texas used modern DNA-wizardry to find out something even more interesting. One day, it just might save your life…
