Build Mind and Body with Clarity and Vitality Stack
Modern research acknowledges what seems intuitive. The mind and body are inseparably linked. Whatever you take into your body (food, drink, exercise, rest, etc.) affects how well your mind functions. Whatever emotions or thoughts you deal with (stress, anxiety, etc.) affects your body on a biochemical level. It may not be instantaneous. But a single drop of pure water, repeatedly dropped every second erodes the hardest rock. Or, if that water droplet contains dissolved minerals, that continuous single drop, builds a stalactite or stalagmite. Life never stays stagnant. Microscopic reactions in the mind and body are either eroding or building it every moment of the day and night. Catabolic processes…

New Aging Clock DunedinPACE Measures the Pace of Aging
Researchers at Columbia University and other institutions have developed a new blood test to measure the pace of biological aging. It is based on an analysis of chemical tags on the DNA contained in white blood cells, called DNA methylation marks. The test is a new addition to a fast-growing list of DNA methylation tests designed to measure aging – or aging clocks. The new aging clock is called DunedinPACE (Pace of Aging Computed from the Epigenome). Aging clocks, or epigenetic clocks, are biomarkers based on DNA methylation that track aging. Intended to measure biological age, aging clocks predict age-related health issues. See our previous posts on aging clocks. “What makes DunedinPACE…
