Hey folks! We decided to rename our newsletter and website to better represent the topics we cover and the audience we serve. We're still going to publish weekly on Friday's as always and with the same content you've grown accustomed to enjoying. The only thing that's changed is the name. And we think it's a very cool name 😊.
This week we look into a new way to measure how fast you're actually aging. It's currently only available at high-end wellness clinics, but that's bound to change soon; We also tackle the often quoted goal of 10,000 steps/day. Does it really extend your life?; And a new blood test has shown to detect Alzheimer's Disease years earlier, thereby allowing people to take appropriate action sooner; And why that bottom (diastolic) blood pressure number might actually be more important than the often mentioned upper number, at least when it comes to your brain; Enjoy!
