Higher levels of practiced mindfulness were associated with less intellectual decline and reduced depositions of degenerative proteins in the brain.  Canadian neuroscientists report these finding from their study of 261 older adults undergoing cognitive testing and brain imaging.

Those practicing mindfulness regularly scored best consistently on problem-solving tests with little deterioration over time.  They also showed reduced deposits of alpha-beta and tau-amyloid degenerative proteins on PET brain scans.

This study confirms the positive effects of mindfulness on brain function and demonstrates that those who actively exercise their brains are spared many age-related degenerative changes.  Keeping your brain focused yet untethered may well help prevent Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

When your EKG is interpreted using artificial intelligence, you may find out that your body is years younger or older than your birthday tally would predict.  Cardiologists at the Mayo Clinic draw this conclusion using a convolutional neural network to help read EKGs from 25,144 subjects.

Those with a predicted age 7 to 14 years older, had a 94% higher risk of cardiac death and those with a gap of 14 years or more had triple the risk of death.  Those predicted to be more than 7 years younger had a 78% lower risk of cardiac death.

Control your fate with regular exercise that is the true fountain of youth.
