In 2025, Kosuke Kato and team from Emory University studied psilocin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, in human cells and 19-month-old mice (equivalent to ~60-year-old humans). They treated cells with psilocin and gave mice monthly psilocybin doses for weeks, measuring cell lifespan, mouse survival, and aging signs like fur condition.

A 2025 study analyzing 85 previous studies found that people who stay consistently active have a 30–40% lower risk of early death—especially from heart disease. Even those who start exercising later in life still see a 20–25% drop in mortality risk, showing it’s never too late to change your future.

A 2024 study from Tufts University published in The Journal of Nutrition found that drinking 1–3 cups of black coffee per day was linked to a 14–17% lower risk of death from any cause, including cardiovascular disease. But when that coffee is loaded with sugar or saturated fat, the benefit fades fast.
