AGE | Novel Model Links Stress and Recovery Cycles to Healthy Aging
During his whiteboard talk for The Physics in Aging Biology Workshop, he demonstrated how cycles of exercise (stress) and rest teach the body to adapt, making it stronger and more resilient. Exercise works by briefly stressing the body, causing small amounts of muscle damage. The body then repairs itself, becoming stronger and healthier; this same process can boost overall longevity and well-being.
AGE | The Wide Variety of Protein
Protein is a key part of a healthy diet, especially as we age. Protein helps maintain muscle mass, which can help keep your body strong. When it comes to protein, beef, chicken, and pork might come to mind. Protein can also come from plant foods, like beans and nuts. Protein is important for growth and repair in the body.
