For every hour that we reduce the duration of sleep, the more our overall cognitive performance gradually decreases. This is the conclusion of the latest study carried out by a team of researchers from Duke University (USA) and the National University of Singapore and which is collected by the journal Sleep.
Human beings have spent our entire lives trying to find a way to fight the unstoppable process of aging. Now, a team of researchers from Duke University (USA) has found an organism, barely a millimeter in length, that is capable of doing so: stop aging and thus double its life expectancy. The discovery has been published in the journal Plos Genetics.
The world population ages and with aging increases the prevalence of people who suffer some type of cognitive deterioration beyond what is properly expected for the full years.

If one of two identical twins smokes and the other does not, which one ages earlier? This is how the approach of an American experiment just published in the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery could be expressed. The analysis of the plastic surgeon of the Case University Hospital (Cleveland) Bahman Guyuron shows that the aging of the face accelerates up to 5 years in twins who have a history of smoking compared to their brothers who do not use tobacco. The study is based on 79 pairs of twins with an average age of 79.
A study released in Cell Metabolism has identified the brain mechanism by which a protein called SIRT1 slows aging and increases longevity. Both effects are also associated with a low-calorie diet, according to the authors, from the University of Washington School of Medicine (USA).
Being sedentary can take away your youth. If you don't move a finger in your spare time, the telomeres - protective endings of chromosomes - of the cells that make up your immune system will shorten very quickly. Such a decline has negative consequences, since the smaller these areas of human DNA are, the older you are on a biological level.
