When AI replaces our work, we will measure wealth by time left. I would start investing in longevity.

The IARC says your >65 ºC tea or coffee is "probably carcinogenic." Studies show up to a 5.6x greater risk of esophageal cancer due to chronic thermal damage, not the caffeine or the drink itself. ☕ As winter nears, be patient: let it stand and cool. 🔗 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

This new article confirms it: heat makes us age faster — just as we suspected. Its impact is comparable to other risk factors like smoking, poor diet, lack of exercise, or alcohol. #Heat #AgingResearch #ClimateChange www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Glucose spikes have been linked to aging, along with many other diseases. One of the effects of glucose is an increase in body temperature — could this be one of the mechanisms behind its harmful impact? #Heat #BodyTemperature #Glucose #AgingResearch link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Taking cold showers is an established anti-aging intervention. There are lots of mechanisms behind this effect, but in the end, it leads to a reduction in body temperature. What about you — have you made this part of your routine? #ColdExposure #AgingResearch #Intervention #Longevity

One of the most accepted theories of aging involves increasing disorder. Since entropy rises over time — and temperature can accelerate it — could anti-aging interventions work by reducing entropy through lowering temperature? #Heat #Aging #AgingResearch

In vertebrates such as rodents, it’s been shown that they live shorter in hot environments or longer in cold ones. This suggests a clear inverse correlation between lifespan and environmental temperature across different animal models. #Heat #Cold #AgingResearch

It's known that low temperatures extend lifespan in different animal models — for example, in invertebrates like worms (see image) and flies. Will this be consistent in vertebrate animal models too? #Heat #Cold #AgingResearch

There is a clear decrease in body temperature with age. Do you think it is a cause or a consequence?

This impressive article analyzes caloric restriction effects on epigenetic aging separating them from lower body temperature. Authors show that caloric restriction alone is not enough to slow down aging — a drop in body temperature is necessary to see these effects. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Caloric restriction decreases body temperature, and both factors have been linked to slower epigenetic aging. What would happen if their effects on aging were analyzed separately? #Heat #BodyTemperature #AgingResearch

We are not surprised. Studies from around the world report the same pattern: more heat, more miscarriages during the first trimester of pregnancy. Fewer babies are being born in the Q1 of the year. We need new solutions to protect ourselves from rising temperatures. #GlobalWarming #Miscarriage #Heat

In camels, the testicles are located close to the body, in the perineal area, protecting sperm from the high desert temperatures. During heat waves, are human testicles too exposed? Are we not as well adapted to heat as camels? #HeatAdaptation #ReproductiveBiology #AgingResearch

AgingResearch @agingresearch.bsky.social · 09/05/2025
Humans have their testicles outside the body to keep them at a cooler temperature than the core body temperature. But what happens when it’s hotter outside than inside? Are they unprotected? How do other mammals like camels deal with this?

We as humans work with probability. Many interventions, lifestyles are proven to correlate with cancer & shorter lifespans, but we ignore them. Is it because we don’t care, don’t believe, or is it just unawareness? I want to ensure this is known and I will be sharing. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Why probability probably doesn’t exist (but it is useful to act like it does)
All of statistics and much of science depends on probability — an astonishing achievement, considering no one’s really sure what it is.

After reviewing nearly 2,000 interventions that affect lifespan in rodents, Im still intrigued by this report: Do mice live longer at 21°C or shorter at 32.5°C?

We agree that cold extends lifespan, but does heat lead to death?
