Unraveling the Impact of Intermittent Hypoxia on Aging and Health

Imagine your body as a finely tuned machine, always adapting to the environment to stay in peak condition. Well, scientists have been studying how different types of oxygen levels during training and sleep can affect aging and age-related diseases. In this systematic review, they summarize the findings from 38 studies on intermittent hypoxia-normoxia training (IHNT), […]

Can Brain Training Boost Mobility and Brain Function in Older Adults?

Imagine your brain as a muscle that can strengthen not only your mental abilities, but also your physical mobility. A recent study investigated whether computerized cognitive training (CCT) could enhance both cognition and mobility in healthy older adults. The researchers recruited non-demented participants aged 60 and above and randomly assigned them to either a CCT […]
