New research explains why our waistlines expand in middle age. Aging shifts stem cells into overdrive to create more belly fat, finds new mouse experiments later validated on human cells. This is the first evidence that our bellies expand with age due to stem cell high output of new fat cells. 🧬🦠🍽️📊

Waist-to-hip ratio predicts faster telomere shortening than depression
New research challenges the link between depression and aging. A study of UK twins found that mental health had little impact on telomere shortening, but carrying excess weight around the waist significantly accelerated cellular decline.
Silencing a major cellular stress signal could be the key to a longer life, according to a new study on tens of thousands of fruit flies. Researchers discovered that suppressing, rather than activating, the fruit flies' internal stress management, extended their lifespan
