In one study, older women taking 15 grams of essential amino acids daily increased their lean body mass significantly, even without exercising.

LED and fluorescent lights lack the balancing red and infrared spectrums of sunlight, which can generate stress responses and negatively impact health.

When buying an LED bulb, look for a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 95 or more and a warm color temperature around 2700 Kelvins.

A new study shows that individuals over 85 can gain muscle and strength from resistance training just as effectively as people aged 65-75.

Heated polyunsaturated cooking oils like canola and soybean form a toxic, aging-accelerating compound called HNE (4-hydroxy-2-nonenal).

Anterior pelvic tilt, or 'Donald Duck posture,' affects up to 85% of males and can be fixed with exercises like the couch stretch and glute bridges.

Consuming about a heaping teaspoon of spirulina can act like a sponge to help limit the oxidative damage from consuming vegetable oils.
