A simple blood test could indicate how long you might live
A new study has developed a blood and saliva test that could predict how long you might live and how well you will age by assessing your intrinsic capacity. This test, based on DNA methylation, measures key factors like cognition, physical function, and vitality. The study found that people with higher intrinsic capacity lived 5.5 years longer on average, had better overall health, and were less likely to develop chronic conditions. The test offers a simple, non-invasive way to track aging and could guide interventions to help you maintain health and vitality as you age.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Turning off screens at least an hour before bed can improve your sleep quality and help you fall asleep faster. The blue light from phones, tablets, and TVs can interfere with your body’s natural production of melatonin, the hormone that signals it’s time to rest. Creating a calm, screen-free wind-down routine can support deeper, more restorative sleep.
