I will discuss two publications, where researchers showed that many diseases and premature deaths come from excessive weight. How much does what we weigh influence our life expectancy? This is exactly what researchers asked themselves in a study from 2017. It was based on four Europe

The medical journal “Cell” published research showing that a new antiaging medication for mice works. Until recently it was thought impossible to influence the rate of aging in animals or humans. But a new peptide medication for testing mice showed that fur in older animals grew dense
