Researchers find that while genetics account for 25% of lifespan differences, factors like environment, diet, and stress can make a big impact on cellular aging. This may be causing younger generations to age faster. Scientists are investigating ways to slow biological aging to prevent these early-onset cancers and chronic diseases. Epigenetic clocks, which measure changes in gene expression, now provide more accurate estimates of biological age than traditional telomere-length measurements. The good news? Strategies like a protein-first diet and resistance training can help you take charge of your health span and lower your biological age.

[Taurine Reduces the Risk for Metabolic Syndrome]( Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions including high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, and abnormal cholesterol levels. Together, these factors increase your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Managing metabolic syndrome can significantly reduce the risk of these severe health complications, improving overall health and longevity. A new review suggests that the amino acid taurine may help with metabolic syndrome. Researchers analyzed data from 25 trials with over 1,000 participants, examining the impact of taurine on blood pressure, blood glucose levels, triglycerides, and HDL cholesterol. Results showed that taurine significantly lowered blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and triglycerides—with no adverse side effects.
