Short naps can improve alertness and some cognitive performance, but no nap duration is proven to extend life. Here’s what studies say about 10–30 vs 60+ minutes.

Hormesis has one of the most attractive ideas in health science: a small stress can make a…
Fresh food can differ from stored food in oxidation state, flavor and nutrient content, but ORP is not a direct measure of healthfulness, antioxidant benefit or ‘life energy’. This article separates measurable redox chemistry from spiritual interpretation.
Tea does not have one normal ORP value. Redox potential depends on tea type, water, pH, temperature, oxygen, electrode setup and brewing conditions, so published mV values are not universal.
Elite athletes generally have lower mortality than the public, especially in endurance and mixed sports. But contact sports reveal a more complicated risk pattern.
Kefir is a fermented milk drink made with symbiotic grains of bacteria and yeasts. It originated in the North Caucasus; human trials suggest some benefits, but evidence is heterogeneous.
I’ve already written about how I conducted studies of biological age of ten longevity enthusiasts using the…
Glucose is essential biology, not a toxin. It is a major fuel, especially for the brain and…
Yeast and worm studies reveal links between reproductive signaling, stress responses and lifespan, but they do not show that reducing human fertility extends life.
Andrew Weil’s diet overlaps strongly with Mediterranean eating, but some anti-aging claims go further than the evidence. Here is what holds up, what is uncertain, and why looking younger is not biological age.
CoQ10 is essential to mitochondrial energy transfer, but supplement benefits depend on the condition. Heart-failure data are promising but not definitive; statin-muscle evidence is mixed.
I found no convincing human evidence that NMN raises testosterone. A 12-week randomized trial measured testosterone directly and found no significant effect; my own repeated blood tests also showed no clear rise.
You can influence daily energy expenditure, but there is no safe switch that dramatically speeds up metabolism. Muscle, movement, protein intake and avoiding extreme dieting matter more than metabolism hacks.
Can a longer mental time horizon improve health or longevity? The evidence supports links with self-regulation, purpose and behavior, not cellular reprogramming.
Peter Attia is an interesting longevity figure for a reason that has little to do with any…
Liz Parrish’s gene-therapy self-experiment is scientifically interesting but uncontrolled. This article preserves the original longevity hypothesis while separating reported outcomes from independently validated evidence.
NMN reliably raises NAD-related metabolites in human trials, but evidence that it slows human aging or extends lifespan is not established. This guide separates promising mechanisms from demonstrated clinical outcomes and summarizes current safety data.
Does resveratrol slow aging or explain the French paradox? Human trials show some modest metabolic effects, but no evidence that resveratrol extends human lifespan.
Inspired by my earlier exploratory facial-age experiment, I analyzed images of David Sinclair from different years. The…
Sadhguru’s nutrition framework contains ideas that overlap with modern evidence and others that remain traditional or speculative. Here is a point-by-point separation of evidence, plausible mechanisms, and open hypotheses.
