Moderate calorie restriction, as observed in the CALERIE trial, led to changes in gene expression in human muscle cells, suggesting improved muscle health. The study, led by Dr. Luigi Ferrucci, found over 1,000 genes expressed differently between calorie-restricted and non-calorie restricted participants, impacting pathways related to muscle formation, repair, and aging. These findings highlight the potential of moderate calorie restriction in preserving muscle function during aging.

Relieving Pain Through Music
Music therapy for pain relief is a burgeoning field, demonstrating remarkable efficacy in alleviating discomfort and enhancing well-being. Recent research delves into the nuanced relationship between music and pain management, shedding light on its potential as a non-pharmacological intervention.
In a study published in Frontiers in Pain Research, emotional responses to both relaxing and favorite music emerged as pivotal predictors of hypoalgesia. This highlights the power of individual musical preferences in influencing pain perception. Subject-preferred music, especially tracks that hold personal significance, showed a superior effect in reducing pain intensity and unpleasantness. Read more
