The Science: Did you know...
You are made up of 30 Trillion cells… and in 80 to 100 days, your body will have entirely new cells?
The Science: Did you know...
About 330 billion cells are replaced daily, equivalent to about 1 percent of all our cells. In 80 to 100 days,
30 trillion will have replenished—the equivalent of a new you.
The Science: Did you know...
That blood cells have a life span of about 120 days, and the body constantly makes new red blood cells in the bone marrow.

Aging tends to shift gears
as you turn 34, 60 and 78?
The Science: Did you know...
The blood-borne signs of aging – and indeed, perhaps the causes of aging – make three big shifts
around the ages of 34, 60 and 78,
a new Stanford-led study has discovered.
The Science: Did you know...
The Stanford study* measured levels of nearly 3,000 individual proteins in the plasma of small blood samples from 4,263 people aged between 18 and 95, and found
that 1,379 of these proteins varied significantly with a subject's age*.
Indeed, with information about levels of just 373 of these proteins, the researchers found they could predict a subject's age "with great accuracy," and an even smaller subset of just nine proteins could do a "passable" job.
The Science: Did you know...
Proteins are the body's workhorses, carrying out instructions from all the body's cells. Changes in their levels in our blood reflect the starting, stopping and changing of different biological processes.
The researchers found that these changes were often quite sudden* – levels of a protein would remain stable in the blood for years, and then rapidly plunge or leap, rather than showing a steady increase or decline.
The Science: Did you know...
You may possibly reverse your health age* by up to 30 years?
