Manipulating the metabolic process of mitochondria, the “power plants” of cells, may compensate for defects that are associated with aging and various neurological diseases. That is the finding of scientists at the University of Alberta who published their research on April 10^th 2014 in Cell Reports. The study will appear in the print edition of the journal on April 24^th.

More Research Needed On Aging-Related Genes

Although there is still no definitive way for scientists to control genes associated with aging, research into the subject could lead to preventive treatment that would prolong lifespan, according to a new analysis of global research.

The research is also paving the way for possible treatment of illnesses relating to aging, according to professor Alexey Moskalev, PhD, DSc, of the Russian Academy of Sciences and at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

In this age of commercial gene sequencing, a simple blood test might tell you which diet would give you the best chance for longevity. That’s the contention of researchers who discovered a genetic mechanism linking aging to specific diets. The study was done at the University of Southern California and published in the January 2014 issue of the journal Cell Metabolism.

When it comes to trying to keep yourself looking younger, your face is obviously Priority #1. While plastic surgery, fillers, Botox, and other tools are available, you don’t always have to go that route. Just changing the way you apply your makeup can take years off your face.

Here are my 10 basic beauty tips for how to give your face an immediate “lift”, without a visit to the doctor’s office. These beauty tricks are definitely a great way to achieve a more youthful appearance:

Michelle Obama turned 50 on January 17th 2014. Happy Birthday to our fabulous First Lady! She’s still radiant and she's got some of the most envied arms on the planet (who can forget that sleeveless official first portrait!), a killer wardrobe, and quite the social life.

Researchers at Tel Aviv University and Bar-Ilan University say they have found a possible way to stop the aging process. A release from the university notes that until now, restricting calorie consumption has been one of the few proven ways to combat aging. However, Keren Yizhak and colleagues have developed a computer algorithm that predicts which genes can be "turned off" to create the same anti-aging effect as calorie restriction.
