Fight the effects of aging and live a longer, healthier life

Have you ever wondered how we can combat the effects of aging and live a healthier, longer life?
Dr. Khaled Abdul-Kazem, a lecturer at the College of Medicine, University of Wasit, published a study in the Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, in collaboration with an international team of researchers from academic and medical institutions, namely the Princess Maxima Center for Pediatric Oncology and the Oncode Institute in the Netherlands, the Hamburg-Eppendorf University Medical Center and the Hamburg Center for Kidney Health, Germany, and the University of Reading in the United Kingdom, the University of Helsinki in Finland, and the Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.
This study focuses on the complex world of aging and the possibility of reducing its effects. The study was conducted on mice with progeria, a model of rapid aging, and we explored the effect of dietary restriction (DR) and soluble activin receptor IIB (sActRIIB) on the health and lifespan of the mice. The global team found that dietary restriction (DR) alone significantly extended lifespan in mice with progeria, demonstrating its potent anti-aging effects and promoting muscle growth, improving muscle function and preventing muscle atrophy. The combination of DR and sActRIIB resulted in significant synergistic benefits, improving motor coordination, delaying the onset of balance problems, and reducing muscle damage. This study suggests a promising new approach to anti-aging, combining dietary restriction with muscle growth promotion. Read the full paper (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jcsm.13570)
