Lifelong Social Bonds Keep the Aging Brain Sharp and Flexible

Rats that lived in social groups throughout their lives retained youthful memory and mental flexibility well into old age, according to new research. Even with equal physical stimulation, only socially connected rats performed as well as younger ones on complex memory tests, while isolated rats showed significant decline.

Aging Brain More Vulnerable to Even Mild Oxygen Deprivation

New research shows that even mild, prolonged exposure to low oxygen levels can significantly disrupt the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in aging brains. Using mice aged 2 to 23 months, scientists found that older mice experienced 4–6 times more BBB breakdown than younger mice under similar hypoxic conditions.

Plant-Based Diet Could Turn Back Biological Aging

A new study suggests that eating more plant-based foods rich in natural compounds called methyl adaptogens—like turmeric, berries, garlic, and green tea—may slow the body’s biological aging process. Researchers analyzed DNA methylation, a cellular marker of aging, in men aged 50 to 72 who followed a nutrient-rich, plant-forward lifestyle.

Habitual tea drinking modulates brain efficiency

Habitual tea drinking was associated with greater functional connectivity in the default mode network. Findings suggest tea drinking has a positive contribution to brain structure and a protective effect on age-related decline in brain organization.
