| Finding the Root to Treat Aging through Dieting
Posted: 22 Feb 2020 06:57 AM PST  Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School believe they discovered a new way in which diet influences aging-related diseases. “Our healthcare as we age is analogous to a tree, and the way we go about it now, when a branch gets diseased, we go to a doctor, and they trim the branch.

This surprising discovery, which published online today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry provides an important new insight into […] |
