Slowing aging by design: the rise of NAD+ and sirtuin-activating compounds

Treatments involving NAD+ and its precursors, along with the sirtuin family (SIRT1-7) and sirtuin-activating compounds (STACs), show remarkable abilities to prevent disease and even reverse aspects of aging. These anti-aging compounds are shown to improve organ function, physical endurance, disease resistance, and longevity, while also treating inflammatory and metabolic disorders. These compounds are particularly notable in the longevity arena due to their ability to positively impact multiple systems and organs simultaneously.

Scientific Evidence-Based Effects of Hydrotherapy on Various Systems of the Body

Hydrotherapy (water therapy) has been used in cultures around the world for thousands of years, with various health benefits depending on water temperature. This article offers an amalgamation of research findings involving the therapeutic use of hydrotherapy (particularly cold water and ice bath therapy) for practically every system within the body such as cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, and immune systems.

Whole-body hyperthermia for the treatment of major depressive disorder

Sauna therapy is known as a safe, effective modality for treating depression, and this study explains the mechanisms that create its antidepressant qualities. Sauna bathing induces whole-body hyperthermia (WBH), which activates regions of the brain associated with mood regulation and antidepressant-like responses, yet does not activate regions associated with heightened anxiety. The therapeutic benefits of sauna bathing are experienced after one single treatment and continue to persist throughout the 6-week follow-up period.

Association Between Sauna Bathing and Fatal Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality Events

Ample studies have shown sauna therapy’s positive, protective effects on overall cardiovascular health, so this study focuses on sauna bathing in relation to fatal cardiovascular (and all-cause) mortality events. The results show an inverse relationship between sauna bathing and risk of sudden cardiovascular death, fatal cardiovascular disease, etc., suggesting that regular weekly sauna therapy is a recommendable health habit for lowering risks of fatal cardiovascular events.
