As we age, we all experience physical and cognitive changes that are a natural part of the aging process. However, recent research has shown that how we perceive our age can have a significant impact on our overall health and well-being. In fact, studies have suggested that feeling younger than our chronological age can have a positive effect on our brain health and may even slow down the aging process. A recent study conducted by researchers at Seoul National University found that people who feel younger than their age have fewer signs of aging in their brain compared to those who feel older. The study involved more than 5,000 participants between the ages of 58 and 98 years old, who were asked to rate how old they felt on a scale of one to ten. The researchers then analyzed MRI scans of the participants' brains to look for signs of aging, such as the thinning of the cortex and reduced brain volume. The results showed that participants who felt younger than their age had a thicker

Obesity & Genetics: Past vs. Present

The Obesity Epidemic: Exploring the Shift from the 60s and 70s to Today Introduction: Obesity has become a widespread health concern in recent decades, but this wasn't always the case. In the 1960s and 1970s, obesity rates were significantly lower. This thought-provoking video ( https://youtu.be/PCeqE7lLRPY ) delves into the reasons behind this shift, debunking the myth that genetics are solely to blame. In this blog post, we'll summarize the key points from the video and explore the factors contributing to the obesity epidemic. The Myth of Genetics: While genetics can play a role in an individual's predisposition to obesity, the video emphasizes that genetics alone cannot explain the rapid increase in obesity rates over the past few decades. If genetics were the primary factor, we would not have seen such a dramatic change in obesity prevalence in such a short time. Instead, we must look at other factors that have changed since the 1960s and 1970s. Factors Contributing to
