Why longevity is not just about years
By Sanjeev
This article discusses how longevity is not merely about increasing lifespan, but about improving health span—the quality of life as we age. It highlights the science behind ageing, including biological processes like epigenetics, cellular damage, and inflammation, while emphasizing that lifestyle factors such as exercise, sleep, diet, stress management, and social connections play a far more significant role than supplements. The piece also underlines emerging research in longevity science, while cautioning against over hyped wellness trends, ultimately reinforcing that ageing is a natural, modifiable process that should be managed, not “hacked.”

How Stress Triggers Epigenetic Changes In The body, Altering Gene Expression
Article by Sanjeev in bwhealthcareworld
Keywords: Depression, DNA methylation, Histone modifications, Transgenerational inheritance, Mental health, Chronic stress
Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that are influenced by the environment but do not alter the DNA sequence itself. Research indicates that stress-induced epigenetic changes in germ cells (sperm or eggs) can be passed on to offspring
