| Oops! We sent out the wrong issue of the MNT Special to to some of you today. We’re happy to share the right one now. Enjoy, and thanks for reading. Healthy aging is as much about putting life in your years as putting years on your life. This week, Medical News Today investigate the science of aging and the steps we can take to improve quality of life in later years. First, we look at some persistent myths about the nature of aging: Is physical deterioration inevitable? Should you limit how you exercise? Does your brain really slow down over time? We tackle each of these questions in the latest installment in our “medical myths” series, which is all about aging. But what causes aging, at a physiological level? We deep dive into biological aging, looking at the role of telomeres, the new science of immune aging, and how oxidative stress affects the body over time. We investigate what happens to the brain as we age, the nature of dementia symptoms, and what to eat to protect brain function. We also look at why it is so important to maintain social connections, as well as the evidence for physical and mental exercises to ward off depression. In all, our new Healthy Aging hub features 60 articles covering arthritis, cancer, exercise and nutrition, diabetes, cardiovascular health, and other age-related conditions. There is also a section dedicated to Medicare, including information on the best plan for older adults. Whether you are long in the tooth or still a spring chicken, our latest special investigation will expand your knowledge and help you and your loved ones take action to enjoy a healthier future. I’ll leave you with these words from Henry Ford as a means of encouragement to immerse yourself in our content: Anyone who stops learning is old — whether this happens at 20 or at 80. Anyone who keeps on learning not only remains young but becomes constantly more valuable. Robin Hough Editor-in-Chief, Medical News Today |
