Life expectancy is largely dependent on environmental factors and lifestyle. The belief that it is dependent mainly on genetics does not hold true. While genes play a very small role in one's life expectancy, the main factors are lifestyle, healthy habits and environment. According to Luke Coutinho, Holistic Nutrition and Lifestyle Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine, Founder of You Care,'The secret to longevity isn't in a pill or a cream. The fountain of youth lies with you. When you understand the science behind ageing, you understand what it takes to live longer. And mind you, it isn't just adding more years to your life. It is about adding more life to your years. As per the insights shared by Luke, here are a few life changes which can help you live a longer, healthier life.

Turn your life around changes for a healthier life
Less sleep shortens the telomeres. Telomeres are structures that are found at the end of chromosomes and play a role in protecting them. Studies show a direct correlation between telomere length and life expectancy. A study published in the British Medical Journal found that getting enough sleep, between 7 to 8 hours per night, was associated with a 12% reduced risk of premature death. So getting quality sleep is a healthy habit you may need to start practising.
Fasting and embracing short periods of comfortable hunger help to activate the two most important genes for longevity - FoxO3 and SIRT. These genes are regulators of lifespan, inflammation, oxidative stress, cancer prevention, immunity, and age-related diseases. Science says that even a 30% reduction of our daily calorie intake is enough to promote longevity and slow ageing. You can simply reduce your portion size by 1-2 spoons.
Building lean muscle through strength training or bodyweight training can help slow down the ageing process. Exercises like squats, lunges, pushups, pullups, and yogic practices like slow Surya Namaskars with longer holds can stimulate muscle as well as the human growth hormone.

Constantly nibbling, snacking, and overeating sends our digestive system on overdrive. If anything is overused without giving it a proper rest it eventually wears out and it's the same with our digestive system.
Research has shown that long-term meditators have a slower process of ageing as compared to those who do not meditate at all. One mechanism by which it helps promote longevity is by managing stress levels. Higher stress levels mean more inflammation and oxidative stress which in turn means lower telomerase activity leading to shorter telomeres. Telomerase is the building block of telomeres that protect cellular DNA from ageing.
Meditation is a great way to reduce stress
Can certain foods promote longevity? While they do not work alone, some foods are associated with a better lifespan by promoting processes associated with longevity like optimum human growth hormone or GABA (supplements or crucifers, nuts, seeds, chicken, eggs, fish) levels. Foods for activating the SIRT1 gene include green tea, leafy greens, crucifers, turmeric, 85% and above dark chocolate, parsley, celery, berries, and responsibly drinking red wine and grapes. Foods for activating the FoxO3 gene include raw onion, apples, citrus fruits, berries, crucifers, green tea, and raw honey.
Eat healthy and balanced meals
A study published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society found that engaging in mentally stimulating activities, such as reading, playing games, juggling and learning new skills or language, can help improve cognitive function and increase lifespan.
Indulge in mentally stimulating activities
When you tie all of these lifestyle changes together along with healthier daily habits like giving up alcohol and smoking while exercising regularly, you can increase your health span. And while it's never a guarantee that all of us will live long, it doesn't mean we stop putting in the effort.

7 Life Changing Tips That Can Help You Live A Long And Healthy Life - NDTV Swirlster
Jarrell Miller didnt waste any time calling out Anthony Joshua in the aftermath of his most noteworthy win in four years.
Miller was infamously removed in April 2019 from his shot at a then-unbeaten Joshuas four heavyweight titles because he tested positive for multiple banned substances. It is unclear if Joshua would even entertain the idea of rescheduling a fight with Miller (26-0-1, 22 KOs), but that didnt stop the brash Brooklyn native from questioning the former champs heart after Miller stopped Lucas Browne in the sixth round Saturday night in Dubai.
I want [Daniel] Dubois or I want AJ, Miller told Tyron Woodley in the ring. We got unfinished business. You know, he gotta be a man and step up to the plate. He cant have his balls in his pocket. If he want the fight, lets make it happen. He want an easy win. He fighting Jermaine Franklin coming off a loss, which I thought he beat Dillian Whyte. So AJ, lets get it on. Stop being a p-ssy. You know what I mean? Straight up.
Englands Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs) will fight for the first time April 1 since he lost his rematch to Oleksandr Usyk by split decision August 20 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Hell face Franklin (21-1, 14 KOs), of Saginaw, Michigan, in a 12-rounder DAZN will stream from O2 Arena in London.
The 34-year-old Millers victory over Australias Browne (31-4, 27 KOs) was his third win since he resumed his career last June 23 after serving a two-year suspension for another failed PED test in June 2020. The 6-foot-4, 333-pound Miller dropped and stopped the 43-year-old Browne in the sixth round of a scheduled 10-rounder at The Agenda.
Browne was Millers most formidable opponent since he knocked out Romanias Bogdan Dinu (then 18-0) in the fourth round of a November 2018 fight at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kansas.
Miller was scheduled to challenge Joshua for Joshuas IBF, IBO, WBA and WBO belts in June 2019 at Madison Square Garden in New York. He was replaced by Andy Ruiz Jr. after Miller tested positive for GW501516, also known as cardarine and endurobol, in March 2019. He also tested positive for human growth hormone and erythropoietin, more commonly called EPO, in separate samples taken in March 2019.
Miller admitted on social media after he was removed from the Joshua fight that he messed up. The undefeated contender was not yet licensed in New York when he failed those tests, though, and therefore wasnt suspended by the New York State Athletic Commission.
Millers compensation package for the Joshua fight wouldve exceeded $5 million. Ruiz replaced Miller on approximately five weeks notice and pulled off one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history.
Ruiz knocked Joshua to the canvas four times and stopped him in the seventh round. Joshua regained his belts when he won their immediate rematch by 12-round unanimous decision in December 2020 in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.

As though the havoc created by GM crops was not adequate, several experimental efforts relating to genetically modified or engineered animals are bringing a wide range of new risks and uncertainties. These include health hazards relating to transfer of diseases from genetically engineered animals to normal animals as well as to human beings. In addition there are the additional risks from consuming the food based on or obtained from genetically engineered animals. Then of course there are grave doubts regarding the scientific basis of the technology and to what extent it can actually succeed in achieving its aim regarding transfer of certain genetic traits, quite from the hazards involved in this, as well as the ethics of playing around with an uncertain technology regardless of serious harm that may be caused to the health and welfare of animals in the process.
Some of the earlier efforts in this direction relating to pigs and sheep turned out to be quite disastrous, as is evident from a review published in The Ecologist. In this widely quoted paper titled The Biotechnology Bubble Dr. Mae-Wan Ho (of Bio-Electrodynamics Lab of the Open University in the UK), Joe Cummins (Professor Emeritus of Genetics in Canada) and Hartmut Meyer summarized the results of several experiments, trials and commercial releases of GMOs, with special emphasis on animals. They wrote : There are many signs of the problems caused in genetic engineering organisms. For every product that reaches the market, there are perhaps 20 or more that fail. It is particularly disastrous for animal welfare.
>> The super-pig engineered with human growth hormone gene turned out arthritic, ulcerous, blind and impotent.
>> The super-salmon engineered, again, to grow as fast as possible, with genes belonging to other fish, ended up with big monstrous heads and died from not being able to see, breathe or feed properly.
>> The clones of the transgenic sheep Dolly are abnormal and eight times as likely to die at birth compared with ordinary lambs.
>> Even products that reach the market are failing, including crops that have been widely planted.
The authors of this widely quoted paper concluded: It is important to realize that the failures are not just teething problems. They are very much the result of a reductionist science and a hit or miss technology. The transgenic foods created are unwholesome, because they involve stressing the developmental and metabolic system of organisms out of balance. There are bound to be unintended effects including toxins and allergens, which current risk assessments are designed to conceal rather than reveal. The major problem is the instability of transgenic lines.
In a note on Risks Associated with GM Farm Animals the Federation of American Farm Scientists has statedThe genetic engineering of farm animals entails certain risks. It is possible, for example, that the experience of novel proteins can cause allergic reactions to susceptible people. There are also potential risks to the environment and problems relating to lack of transparency.
A research paper prepared by the Humane Society of the USA (HSUSA) and titled Welfare Issues with Genetic Engineering and Cloning of Farm Animals has statedDevelopments in biotechnology have raised new concerns about animal welfare as farm animals (may) now have their genomes modified ( genetically engineered ) or copied ( cloned) to propagate certain traits useful to agribusiness such as meat yield or feed conversion. These animals suffer from unusually high rates of birth defects, disabilities and immature deaths.
Further this paper prepared by the HSUSA reviews the recent research in this area to tell usRecent cloning research also reveals high failure rates, premature deaths, and such abnormalities as intestinal blockages, diabetes, shortened tendons, deformed feet, weakened immune systems, dysfunctional hearts, brain, liver and kidneys, respiratory distress and circulatory problems.
According to a review quoted in this paper, less than 5% of all cloned embryos transferred into recipient cows survived. This paper has lamented the lack of regulations in this work to protect the welfare of animals.
These and related concerns should be raised more and more to prevent the genetic modification of animals from becoming as big an environmental and health risk as the technology of GM crops has become.

According to the American Cancer Society, approximately 1,000 new cases of osteosarcoma are diagnosed in the United States every year, mainly among teens and adults. A biopsy is used to diagnose osteosarcoma, and the tumor is usually removed during surgery.
As a result of the high number of bone cancers in the United States and worldwide, there is a high demand for advanced prosthetics. These devices require a lot of maintenance and are expensive, and reimbursement policies inhibit their growth. As the government increases its support for amputee initiatives, the market will be able to grow at a rapid rate.
The rise in the number of road accidents is due to rapid modernization and increasing sales of high-performance vehicles. In addition, rash and drunk driving are contributing to an increase in the number of road accidents around the world. This is predicted to contribute to the upper limb prosthetics industry's enhanced growth. said a lead analyst at FMI.

Upper Limb Prosthetics Market is projected at a CAGR of 4.1% and ... - GlobeNewswire
We all know that getting fit - and staying that way - is a job in itself. And, with all the other pressures of modern life, many of us struggle to find the time to prioritise exercise.
Happily, scientists have found that even the laziest, most sweat-resistant among us can transform our health and fitness by doing remarkably little.
From blink-and-miss-it daily bursts of exertion that leave you puffed, to a brisk monthly walk, three-minute cold swims, or simply pottering around the house with the vacuum cleaner, there are many low-effort ways to improve your strength, brain and heart health, balance and longevity.And that means you'll be left with plenty of time to hit the sofa.
Welcome to the lazy guide to getting fit and healthy
Consultant geriatrician Dr Lucy Pollock, author of The Book About Getting Older, balances on each leg for one minute while brushing her teeth in the morning. So no need for a gym membership or any gym kit.
Dr Pollock says: 'The evidence base is that exercises that include both a little bit of strength and balance make a lot of difference.'
Indeed, researchers found that the ability to stand on one leg for ten seconds was linked to survival in middle-aged and older individuals.
The BMJ reported: 'After accounting for age, sex and underlying conditions, an inability to stand unsupported on one leg for ten seconds was associated with an 84 per cent heightened risk of death from any cause within the next decade.'
Dr Pollock says: 'If you are able to stand on one leg, that is a very good sign. It not only improves your strength and balance, it's a way of checking that everything else you're doing is making a difference.'
Squats preserve muscle mass and strength in quads and hamstrings, but it's important to have the correct form for maximum benefits.
Dr Pollock says: 'When you do squats well, you improve core strength by maintaining good posture and keeping your back straight. They're a very good total body exercise.'
Once again, consistency is key, which is why Dr Pollock adds these to her teeth-brushing-balancing routine to make it a daily habit.
One minute is enough to make a difference because it's such a powerful exercise, she says.
Celebrity trainer Zana Morris explains: 'Any form of high-intensity training which includes squats, in particular full ones, where you go as low as you can causes a massive disturbance on muscle fibres and oxygen uptake.
'It increases the heart rate and stimulates production of human growth hormone (HGH), which helps push protein back into our lean tissue. It prompts an increase in metabolism that continues long after the exercise.' Result!
A cold swim isn't for everyone, but how about if you only had to stay in for a few minutes to reap the benefits of more efficient fat-burning, lower inflammation and greater insulin sensitivity?
Dr Susanna Soberg, a Danish scientist specialising in metabolism and stress, has persuasive evidence that just 11 minutes of cold-water swimming weekly (in several short bursts) will do the trick.
She explains that she wanted to find out whether, if this is healthy, 'what is the least exposure we can get away with, because [she] was not a winter swimmer'.
Soberg, the author of Winter Swimming (yes, she's now a convert), discovered that just a few minutes in chilly water activates the 'brown fat' in our body, as its purpose is to burn energy to produce heat to keep us warm.
So how cold must this water be? Even 20c water, she says, is cold enough. (The sea on the Suffolk coast is currently about 7c I know as I recently swam in it myself. Most heated public swimming pools in the UK, though, are between 26c and 28c.)
Soberg says: 'What we found is that when you activate the brown fat, it will increase your thermogenesis your ability to increase heat. This needs to be fuelled with sugar and fat from the bloodstream. In that way it burns calories.
'If you can activate your healthy brown fat, you can lower your white fat and you also lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases.'
And, she says, long-term exposure to the cold don't fret, that just means doing three lots of three or four-minute sessions per week leads to an increased insulin sensitivity, which, she says, is 'a really good marker for lowering your risk of modern lifestyle diseases', such as diabetes.
For stronger bones, why not jump up and down while watching Death In Paradise for a few minutes?
Doing just ten or 20 'jumping repetitions' per day can increase bone mass and strength, according to a recent study from Chukyo University in Japan, as the impact stimulates bone growth.
Similarly pleasing results were found in an earlier American study, where 60 women aged 25-50 undertook a daily jumping programme.
Women did either ten or 20 jumps, with 30 seconds' rest between jumps, twice daily for 16 weeks. All saw gains in hip bone mineral density but the 20-jump group's improvements were significant (0.5 pc) which seems small until you read that the control group lost 1.3 pc of bone density over that time.
Forget about struggling through hours of exhausting tree poses just 15 minutes of daily yoga can lower blood pressure, your resting heart rate and cardiovascular risk, according to one recent study.
Yoga is powerful because it modulates and balances the autonomic nervous system, lowering blood pressure.
The key is that it involves three types of manoeuvres (stretching, holding a pose and head tilts), says Dr Mithu Storoni, neuroscience researcher, yoga instructor and author of Stress-Proof.
'Blood pressure and heart rate are controlled and regulated by your autonomic nervous system,' she explains. 'When you stretch, you get an increase in sympathetic activation. As you release that stretch, you get a rebound increase in parasympathetic activity, which forces your body into a state of relaxation.'
Meanwhile, contracting and releasing muscles as you hold a pose and release it also increases relaxation, and yoga postures that involve tilting the head forwards and backwards trigger autonomic corrective mechanisms which help regulate your stress response and can add to this calming effect.
As you can reap all these benefits so quickly, you can feel good about rolling up your yoga mat after 15 minutes.
Encouraging news. It seems all those people you see pounding the pavements daily may be missing a trick maintaining the not-terribly-taxing habit of a jog, swim or game of badminton just once a month is enough to be beneficial to brain health.
A UCL study led by Dr Sarah-Naomi James found that exercising at least once every four weeks (ideally, throughout your adult life) is linked to better cognitive function in later life.
Brain-protective effects were greatest in those physically active at least one to four times a month more than for people who exercised more frequently for a period in adulthood, but didn't keep it up.
So, consistency is key even if you only do it once a month.
I confess that, personally, I'm thrilled, as in my 50s I'm running less often and had wondered if there was any point but even I can manage running once a month.
Not a fan of structured exercise? But love gardening? Regularly dust and vacuum your house? Excellent.
Researchers from UCL and the University of Sydney found that as little as three or four-minute bursts of vigorous activity throughout the day for example, playing with children and pets, carrying shopping, climbing stairs briskly, walking uphill or running to catch a train was associated with a substantially lower risk of premature death from all causes (compared to doing none).
As the researchers note, their findings align with previous studies showing that 'very small doses of vigorous intermittent activity can improve cardio-respiratory fitness, which is a vital predictor of longevity'.
Dr Pollock says: 'People who did more than 15 minutes of vacuum cleaning, beating mats and changing beds per week did better on many domains than those who did less than 15 minutes per week.'
So yes, consider Henry Hoover your new workout buddy.
She adds: 'People who do housework are generally much fitter and less frail than those who don't.' She also notes that, provided you haven't got heart disease, 'for most people, getting breathless is a very good thing.
'Getting breathless shows you're being active enough to make a difference.'

Sleep, according to cambrige.com in simple definition is to be in a state of rest when your eyes are closed, your body is not active, and your mind is unconscious.
Sleep has a lot of benefits and is arguably the secret to longevity. What causes us to sleep? The production of the hormone melatonin in the brain.
Here are some of its benefits.
Sleep has been proven to benefit the long-term memory of an individual since the consolidation of memory in the brain takes place as we sleep. Research suggests that sleep helps learning and memory in two distinct ways.
First, a sleep-deprived person cannot focus attention optimally and therefore cannot learn efficiently.
Second, sleep itself has a role in the consolidation of memory, which is essential for learning new information. (source Harvard.edu)
Another thing that your brain does while you sleep is processing your emotions. Your mind needs this time in order to recognize and react the right way.
When you cut that short, you tend to have more negative emotional reactions and fewer positive ones. In fact sleep deprivation has been linked to having unstable moods that may lead to depression.
Also, while you sleep, your blood pressure goes down, giving your heart and blood vessels a bit of a rest. The less sleep you get, the longer your blood pressure stays up during a 24-hour cycle.
Sleep offers good recovery to the muscles, it enhances muscle recovery through protein synthesis and human growth hormone release.
According to Sports lab new york.com, this process stimulates muscle growth and recovery.
A 2018 study by the National library of medicine in America stated that individuals who regularly slept less than 7 hours per night were more likely to have higher average body mass indexes and develop obesity than those who slept more.
Studies showed that experimental sleep restriction was associated with increased levels of ghrelin, salt retention, and inflammatory markers as well as decreased levels of leptin and insulin sensitivity.
Again too much of anything is poisonous, and sleeping in excess may cause diabetes and obesity, so it's important to balance your sleep.
Dr.Granton Trevor says ''Sleep is a very good doctor, it restores, rejuvenates, and protects, so develop good sleeping habits and live a high-quality healthy life."

Benefits of good sleeping habits - The Star Kenya
Nootropics are a relative newcomer in a booming supplement market, promising benefits and enhancements to those seeking a cognitive edge. However, theyve gained popularity quickly and are now firmly positioned as a top contender vying for prime space in your supplement regimen.
At their best, nootropics can do everything from improving your attention and focus to even enhancing your working memory. However, nootropic supplements are not all created equal.
The trick is, knowing what to look for in a top-tier nootropic supplement and how to choose one that best suits your goals. Well discuss the proven benefits of nootropics, featured in Kageds Mindset supplement, and how they can boost performance, motivation, focus, mood, and cognition. This means enhanced productivity, higher-quality output on your creative work, and lasting, dialed-in work sessions where everything seems to go right.
Kaged Mindset
KAGED's nootropic supplement boasts seven science-backed ingredients to aid your focus, energy, and mental stamina.
Editors Note:The content onBarBendis meant to be informative in nature, but it should not be taken as medical advice. When starting a new training regimen and/or diet, it is always a good idea to consult with a trusted medical professional. We are not a medical resource.

Nootropics are a class of supplements broadly defined as any compound that can enhance cognitive performance and mental functioning. There are two types of nootropics: lab-created and naturally found, such as herbs.
Nootropics are also called smart drugs because they can boost memory, motivation, attention, focus, and creativity. Research has also found some nootropics can improve symptoms of depression, anxiety, and general mood. (1)(2) Nootropics show many promising benefits for people with impairments and healthy individuals looking for a brain boost.
Some of the most well-studied and evidence-backed nootropics found in Kaged Mindset include:
[Related: Kaged Pre-Kaged Elite Pre-Workout Review]
The incredible power of increased attention, focus, mood, and motivation that nootropics provide can be felt in all aspects of your life.
Finding the motivation to push through a grueling workout or even to get to the gym can be tough. And staying focused and motivated to plow through a challenging project for work can zap the willpower of even the most dedicated employee.
While no supplement is a miracle drug, scientific literature has shown that nootropics may provide a boost for those days (months, years) when keeping on task and performing your best requires a little push. Here are some of the top benefits of nootropics you should know.
Motivation can be elusive and hard to come by, especially with busy lives packed wall to wall with projects, deadlines, appointments, and commitments. Nootropics such as Alpha-Glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha GCP) and others can boost motivation and help you conquer your to-do list and training sessions.
A randomized, placebo-controlled human study published inNutrients found subjects who took nootropic supplements experienced increased motivation, especially at night often the most challenging time to get motivated for many people when the couch is calling. Interestingly, the subjects felt their motivation increased throughout the two weeks of supplementation. Those taking the placebo did not experience these effects.(3)
Another study published in theJournal of the International Society of Sports Medicinecompared nootropic supplements with traditional caffeine-packed pre-workout. The researchers found that nootropics can be just as effective at boosting motivation and other cognitive functions as caffeine, but without any jitteriness or other unwanted side effects. (11)
One of nootropics most touted benefits is an increased ability to focus. Distraction reigns in todays tech-based society with constant interruptions from notifications, emails, and Zoom calls. While no one can expect to be hyper-focused all hours of the day, a few hours of flow can help you smash through critical tasks during your work week. (12) In the gym, more focused attention on your working muscles and effort level can vastly improve your results. (13)
Nootropics may allow you to keep on task, despite mental fatigue. (1) Some compounds keep your brain topped up with the energy it needs to feel fresh and focused, improving your ability to stick to task. Other compounds assist in upregulating hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline that keep you sharp and productive. (14)
Nootropics are making waves as a memory enhancer both in the medical community and for the general population. Promising research shows neuroprotective effects from certain compounds that may even combat dementia and age-related cognitive decline. (15) Research shows improved memory recall, spatial memory, and working memory.
Some of these compounds work by preventing the breakdown of acetylcholine, which is crucial for learning and memory. They can also support brain cell mitochondria, which means your brain stays fueled with energy for a more optimal functioning memory. As if that werent enough, nootropics can boost brain antioxidants to protect brain cells from damage and increase cell longevity. (16)
Stress is a tricky beast. It can stem from physical, mental, and emotional roots, but your body responds to stress similarly regardless the cause. So, if youre stressed out at work and then try to hit PRs in the gym, you may be pouring too much stress on an already taxed system.
When this happens, stress hormones can increase, including catabolic ones that prevent muscle gain (or even decrease muscle tissue) and wreak havoc on your overall health. Everything from your sleep to your libido can be affected, piling on more stress, and kicking off a vicious cycle. Nutrition and supplementation can play a huge role in warding off stress, and nootropics are one way to shield yourself from the worst of it.
Research published inNutrientsreveals that nootropics can help you stay sharp and think clearly even during bouts of stress, which typically leave your brain feeling scrambled. (1) Other nootropic compounds can ward off stress hormones, helping your brain resist their damaging effects. (6)
[Related: What Top Lifters Want in a Pre-Workout Stack]
The researchers who published on stress hormones inNutrientsfound that certain nootropic compounds can also boost mood in people with depression. (14) They can also boost brain levels of serotonin, which has long been linked with better moods and less risk of depression. Study participants who consistently take some nootropics report better overall mood after a few weeks. (1)
Putting all this research together, its clear that nootropics can promote productivity. While its likely not healthy to be all systems go all the time, everyone can use a productivity boost now and again.
If you can focus, pay attention to detail, be motivated to complete tasks, and feel good doing it, theres no surprise that productivity might skyrocket from these effects. Moreover, safe and effective nootropic compounds are a much better way to go than some of the more risky methods used by college students and executives looking for an edge. (17)
Interestingly, the ways nootropics act on the brain can extend to other physical actions, including power output and muscular strength. TheJournal of the International Society of Sports Nutritionstates that Alpha-CPC boosts peak force production during exercise. When a supplement has the potential to boost exercise performance, its called ergogenic.
Using a randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover design, seven men with at least two years of resistance training experience took Alpha-GPC or a placebo 90 minutes before training. Results showed the men who took Alpha-GPC could produce 14% more explosive power during bench pressing than the placebo group. They also had a lower RER (respiratory exchange ratio), which means they werent struggling as hard to recover their breath after their sets. (18) Similar results have been found when testing vertical jump explosiveness. (19)
Researchers believe this effect may be due to an increase in human growth hormone (HGH) from Alpha-GPC. HGH is an anabolic hormone that helps build muscle and decrease fat tissue. This makes Alpha-GPC both a nootropic and ergogenic aid.
When choosing a nootropic supplement, not all options are created equal. Knowing what to look for is the key to getting your moneys worth and achieving the effects you are hoping for.
First and foremost, you want to ensure your chosen nootropic contains elite ingredients that have been well-studied and are positioned in the scientific literature as effective and safe. Some of the most extensively researched compounds include the ones mentioned above: Alpha-GPC, phosphatidylserine, huperzine A, and acetyl-l carnitine.
Kaged Mindset contains these ingredients, plus others that work to support brain function and general health. These additional supports include vitamin C for antioxidant and immune system benefits, B complex for energy, and Ioniplex, a fulvic acid mineral complex that contains trace minerals like calcium, zinc, chromium, copper, and iron.
In the world of supplementation, there is little regulation or overwatch. Companies that stand by their products and provide third-party testing should be the top contenders for space on your supplement shelf. Kaged Mindset uses third-party testing to ensure the ingredients are pure and potent.
While caffeine can be a nootropic and workout enhancer, there are several caveats. First, the energy you might get from caffeine essentially borrows from your energy levels later. Caffeine highs usually result in a crash-and-burn effect, which isnt helpful if you still have stuff to do after the effects wear off.
Secondly, caffeine can cause jittery, nervous, restless, or even anxious energy that isnt smooth or controlled like the kind you can get from other nootropics. Kaged Mindset skips the caffeine and offers a hefty dose of Alpha-GPC, shown in the literature to work just as well without the jitters. (20)
Thirdly, caffeine can cause some people to experience gastrointestinal issues (thats a delicate way of describing it) that can interfere with your workout or flow state. And no one wants to be interrupted by a lengthy bathroom visit during peak performance.
Caffeine can also interrupt the quantity and quality of sleep. It has a 6 to 8-hour half-life, with some people being affected more than others. Even if you can fall asleep immediately after a double espresso, it doesnt mean that sleep is restorative. This means youre likely better off taking caffeine in the early morning hours exclusively for best results, limiting the flexibility of it as a nootropic. (21)
Last, you build a tolerance to caffeine. While you might feel great taking caffeine today, if you take a lot of it daily, you wont get the heightened energy and focus you did the first time.
Mindset comes in a caffeine and caffeine-free version, so whether youre looking for a clean boost of caffeine or need a non-caffeinated version later in the day that wont impact your sleep, Kaged has you covered.

7 Benefits of Nootropic Supplements - BarBend
It may currently be grabbing the headlines because of excitement over its weight-loss drug, Wegovy, but Novo Nordisk is a company that has a record of innovation dating back a century.
Denmark's biggest company and the world's biggest maker of insulin celebrates its centenary this year, having been founded in 1923, just two years after the discovery of insulin itself by the Canadian scientists Frederick Banting, John Macleod and Charles Best.
The finding prompted August Krogh, a Danish professor who had just won the Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine, to travel to Canada at the urging of his wife Marie, a renowned scientist in her own right, who had just been diagnosed with diabetes.
At the time, diabetes was incurable, so being diagnosed with it represented a death sentence.
Macleod invited Krogh to visit him in Toronto and there gave him permission to continue experimenting with his team's findings back in Denmark.
Within months Krogh was treating patients suffering from diabetes in Copenhagen, having formed a business called Nordisk Insulinlaboratorium in partnership with another scientist, Hans Christian Hagedorn.
The latter ended up falling out with and firing two of his employees, Thorvald and Harald Pedersen, who subsequently set up their own business called Novo Terapeutisk Laboratorium.
The rival firms competed ferociously before they came together in 1989 to form Novo Nordisk.
One very interesting aspect of the two businesses is that they each set up their own charitable foundations.
Macleod, when allowing Krogh to continue his work in Scandinavia, did so on the condition that Krogh would not profit personally from the discovery and that profits made from it would be invested in new research that would support the fight against diabetes.
The Pedersen brothers, likewise, had set up their own charitable foundation in 1951.
So the merger that formed Novo Nordisk in 1989 also saw the creation of the Novo Nordisk Foundation which, with an endowment of more than $93bn, is the world's biggest charitable foundation.
That foundation remains the biggest single shareholder in Novo Nordisk.
To put its wealth into context, the foundation has billions more in the bank than the much better-known Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Scientific breakthroughs
Novo Nordisk's focus on insulin has led to a number of breakthroughs over the years.
Novo's experimentations with fermentation as a way of producing drugs led to the invention of a detergent enzyme made by the process and, eventually, the business became so large that it was eventually spun off as a separate company, Novozymes, in 2000.
Novo Nordisk and Novozymes are, respectively, the biggest and 11th biggest quoted companies in Denmark. The former, with a stock market valuation of DKK1.77trn (212bn), would be the biggest company in the FTSE-100 if it was listed in London.
Other scientific breakthroughs achieved down the years include products such as human growth hormone and oral contraceptives, as well as an ever-evolving array of delivery mechanisms for insulin, including Novopen, the world's first insulin pen device and GLP-1, a tablet which does away with the need for insulin injections.

The creation of Wegovy
It was this relentless research into diabetes and Novo Nordisk's work on hormones that eventually led to the creation of Wegovy.
The product, semaglutide, was originally developed as a treatment for type 2 diabetes and had been developed alongside liraglutide, a related product that had been specifically developed to tackle weight loss, which is now marketed under the brand name Saxenda.
It was only over time that semaglutide became to be seen more as a treatment for obesity than type 2 diabetes.
Initially, the company was sceptical.
Lars Fruergaard Jorgensen, who became Novo Nordisk's chief executive at the beginning of 2017, said in one of his earliest presentations to investors that working on treatments to tackle obesity had been a "graveyard" for the pharmaceutical industry in the past.
At the time, a number of treatments had been discontinued by rivals, with healthcare insurers in the US - the biggest market for such treatments - reluctant to pay for them, and the weight loss benefits they delivered thought to be only negligible.
That was what marked semaglutide, which works by mimicking the effects of hormones which control the appetite, as significant. The weight loss it delivers was greater than for rival products.
The breakthrough also came at a crucial time for Novo Nordisk. Between August 2015 and November 2016 its share price had fallen by 47%, amid concerns the company was too dependent for its earnings on mature insulin treatments that were coming under pricing pressure, particularly in the crucial US market.
It was a bold decision by Mr Fruergaard Jorgensen to step up investment in obesity treatments.
He told investors at the end of 2017: "We are making a bet on obesity, and we believe we can ride it based on lifting efficacy. And that will create the market."
Pay offs for Novo Nordisk
That bet has paid off in spades.
The product, christened Wegovy for commercial use, was made available to US patients in June 2021 and, despite problems with supplies, has garnered a huge following.
Mr Fruergaard Jorgensen told investors last month that, during the first few weeks of the year, Wegovy prescription trends had accelerated to record levels.
He went on: "The uptake underlines the significant unmet need for patients with obesity. Many patients have been waiting for all doses of Wegovy to be available again, which has created a pent-up demand."
Those investors who stuck with the company between 2015 and 2016 - among them, the renowned British investor Terry Smith - have been rewarded for their patience.
From the low point of November 2016, shares of Novo Nordisk have more than quadrupled in value.
Not that Mr Fruergaard Jorgensen is stopping there.
Investment in future treatments
Mindful of past accusations that the company has been too dependent on diabetes, he has been investing in other therapy areas, including Alzheimer's disease, haemophilia - a natural extension of the company's work in injectable medicines - chronic kidney disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, sickle cell disease and cardiovascular disease.
The company's work in these areas has not received as much attention as perhaps it deserves.
Mr Fruergaard Jorgensen has freely admitted that "these are high-risk areas [in which] we might not succeed" - but has noted that, if Novo Nordisk does, it will be "among very few companies, if any, to take those markets and help those patients".
That might sound like shooting for the moon.
But the hundreds of millions of patients who suffer from these conditions will be hoping that this giant Danish enterprise, backed staunchly by a foundation with very clear humanitarian objectives, can achieve similarly exciting breakthroughs in its second century.

Novo Nordisk: How weight loss jab bet paid off for Denmark's biggest firm as it plans to take on more diseases - Sky News
I eat too much and don't exercise enough. It's a common refrain, typically spoken while looking between your bare feet at the numbers on a scale, and it reinforces the ingrained belief that we could lose weight if only we burn off more calories than we consume.
That notion, however, ignores three causes of weight gain that have little to do with that second helping of spaghetti you had at Nana's on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
Scientists say the old, "eat less, move more" idea oversimplifies the solution to obesity, which is a complex problem. They point to the rising rates of obesity, which now affects 40 percent of the U.S. population as proof that this theory is outdated and misleading.
"Conceptualizing obesity as a disorder of energy balance restates a principle of physics without considering the biological mechanisms that promote weight gain," the authors of a perspective in a 2021 edition of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition wrote. In other words, putting on weight is not about how much food you're eating but what you're eating, when you're eating it, and how it affects you metabolically as you get older.
Obesity is multifactorial, involving genetics, lifestyle, food choice and environment. Read on for three things you're doing that are likely causing the numbers on your scale to edge up.

The standard American diet (or SAD, for short) is loaded with processed, rapidly digested carbohydrates that are as addictive as they are delicious. Think potato chips, cookies, doughnuts, frozen pizza, hot dogs, fast-food hamburgers, fried chicken, and ice cream. Soda and other sugar-sweetened beverages lead the list of quickly absorbed sugar bombs: An American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study found that women gained an average of 17 pounds over four years when they drank sugary beverages.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb
"These foods stimulate the release of the stress hormone cortisol and appetite hormones such as insulin, dopamine, and ghrelin, all of which play a role in cravings," says registered dietitian and nutritionist Blanca Garcia, RDN, a nutrition specialist for Health Canal. She explains that eating highly processed carbohydrates prompts the body to secret insulin, which signals fat cells to store calories.
"Insulin inhibits the production of human growth hormone, which is responsible for optimal muscle mass, and triggers a rise in the stress hormone cortisol that increases visceral body fat," endocrinologist Florence Comite, MD, founder of the Comite Centers for Precision Medicine & Health, tells Best Life. "By fixing a patient's metabolism, they start to build muscle again and reduce the storage of fat. That's how we can stop diabetes in its tracks, stop heart disease, and reverse aging."
Numerous studies have shown that people who sleep less tend to consume more calories and high calorie processed carbohydrates. One of the most recent, published in 2022 in JAMA Internal Medicine, tracked 80 overweight people for four weeks. For the first two weeks, they followed their normal sleep routine, getting less than 6.5 hours of sleep per night. During the second two weeks, the group of 80 was split into two. One group continued to follow their normal sleep patterns, while the people in the test group were counseled on improving their sleep hygiene with the goal of increasing their sleep duration to 8.5 hours. The group that improved their sleep habits slept for more than an hour longer each night than the group that didn't receive counseling. Researchers found that the people who extended their sleep consumed an average of 270 fewer calories each day. They also lost roughly a pound during the final two weeks, while the control group gained weight.
"People focus on diet and exercise and don't realize how much more important sleep is to weight management," says Comite, who explains that what you may eat before bedtime can influences how well or poorly you sleep.
Comite suggests stopping eating at least two hours before your bedtime. If you must have something, she says, choose a light protein snack with a bit of carbohydrate. Avoid a high-carb snack, which will drive the release of insulin, and suppress growth hormone and melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep cycles, says Comite. Over time, research suggests, a disrupted circadian rhythm can lead to the onset of metabolic disease.

Getting older virtually guarantees weight gain, unless you've been blessed with genes that keep you lean. But even if you aren't genetically immune to weight gain, there's something you can do to buck the trend that comes with age: Build up your muscles.
"After about age 30, your levels of the hormone testosterone begin to drop and you begin to lose muscle, a process called sarcopenia," Comite explains. Muscle burns calories, even at rest, so if you have less muscle and don't reduce your calorie intake, you'll likely put on weight. The remedy for this age-related muscle loss/fat gain is regular strength training, she says. She also recommends eating more protein, the building block of muscle, and says we should shoot for 1.6 grams per kilograms of your body weight per day if you're working out with weights.
As with any medical advice you read online, it's best to check in with your healthcare provider to find out what's best for you. If you're sleeping eight hours a night, avoiding processed foods and sugary beverages, working out with weights, and the scale is stubbornly creeping up, make an appointment.
"Ask your doctor to prescribe a blood test to check your free testosterone, which is essential for muscle growth, as well as metabolic health markers like fasting glucose, insulin, and thyroid balance," Comite recommends.
