Maria Branyas wurde 117 Jahre alt und blieb dabei weitgehend frei von Alterskrankheiten. Was kann ihre DNA über Longevity verraten?
https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-3791(25)00441-0
Ein internationales Forschungsteam hat erstmals ein vollständiges molekulares Profil der Frau mit der bislang längsten verifizierten Lebensspanne (1907 bis 2024) erstellt. Trotz klassischer Zeichen des Alterns war ihre Zellbiologie erstaunlich „jung”. Bis zu ihrem Tod blieb sie von Krebs oder Demenz verschont. Die Studie liefert neue Hinweise darauf, wie genetische Anlagen und eine günstige Darmflora das Altern verlangsamen können.
https://www.fitbook.de/gesundheit/dna-longevity
Sie hatte ein exzellentes Mikrobiom:
Im Darmmikrobiom dominierte Bifidobacterium, eine „verjüngende” Bakteriengruppe. Ihre Mikrobiom-Vielfalt war deutlich höher als bei gleichaltrigen Kontrollpersonen. Die Forscher vermuteten, dass es eine Korrelation zum Joghurtkonsum der 117-Jährigen geben könnte. Sie aß täglich drei Joghurts, die die Bakterien Streptococcus thermophilus und Lactobacillus delbrueckii enthielten. Diese werden mit der Bildung von Bifidobacterium in Verbindung gebracht.

Außerdem aß die Spanierin täglich trank einen Smoothie aus acht verschiedenen Getreidesorten.
In ihrem Erbgut fanden die Forscher außerdem mehrere Genvarianten, die mit einer langen Lebensspanne in Verbindung stehen, unter anderem das sogenannte APOE-Allel. Auch neuroprotektive Gene, die Gehirnzellen vor Schäden bewahren, waren bei ihr homozygot vorhanden, also doppelt angelegt.
Besonders auffällig: In ihren Proben fehlten alle bekannten Genvarianten, die mit einem erhöhten Sterblichkeitsrisiko oder verkürzter Lebensdauer verbunden sind.

Unbelievable but true❗
Scientists advise caution.
Those who use white, pink, or brown noise to sleep should be especially careful. Just like the brain, their hearing needs to recover from its exertion. "Hearing is an active process, where metabolic waste products are produced that can damage hearing in the long term. Actually, the best time for the hearing to break down these metabolic waste products and, so to speak, clean up is at night," says Basner. The sleep researcher therefore recommends finding a volume that is comfortable for you personally, but not stressful. There is no recommended volume, but some studies recommend a volume of around 40 decibels for young children. Basner also recommends using a timer that turns the noise off after a certain period of time. This allows you to enjoy the desired positive effect for falling asleep while avoiding potential negative consequences. Anyone who wants to try the noise can find videos and playlists with titles like "White Noise," "Pink Noise," and "Brown Noise" on YouTube and relevant music streaming services like Spotify. Ultimately, however, according to sleep researcher Basner, more research is needed to find out whether the sounds are good or bad overall.

Tests on Maria Branyas Morera, who was world’s oldest person aged 117, gave doctors a trove of discoveries
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/sep/24/supercentenarian-gives-scientists-insight-on-secrets-of-healthy-old-age
Her gut microbiome was also very young for her age with plenty of Bifidobacterium
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/09/26/health/maria-branyas-morera-study-genes-intl-scli-wellness
Interestingly, scientists noticed a "huge erosion" in Branyas' telomeres – the caps at the ends of her chromosomes.
Telomeres protect our genetic material, and shorter ones are linked to a higher risk of death. Recent studies, however, suggest that among the oldest of the old, telomeres are not actually a useful biomarker of aging.
In fact, having very short telomeres may have provided Branyas with an advantage. Hypothetically speaking, write the authors, the short lifespan of her body's cells may have stopped cancer from ever proliferating

Gefahr im Mund: Zahnbakterien fördern Herzinfarkte
https://www.t-online.de/gesundheit/aktuelles/id_100911122/studie-wie-mundbakterien-mit-dem-herzinfarkt-risiko-zusammenhaengen.html
Bei koronarer Herzkrankheit kann sich in den Ablagerungen in den Blutgefäßen, die als Atherosklerose-Plaques bekannt sind, ein bakterieller Biofilm bilden. Dieser bildet sich über Jahre oder sogar Jahrzehnte hinweg. Die Bakterien verhalten sich im Biofilm ruhig und sind dort sowohl vor dem Immunsystem als auch vor Antibiotika geschützt.
Virusinfektionen und andere Auslöser können die Bakterien „aufwecken“.
Durch eine Virusinfektion oder andere externe Auslöser kann der Biofilm aktiviert werden. Dann vermehren sich die Bakterien, was eine Entzündungsreaktion hervorruft. Die Entzündung lässt das Plaque-Material rissig werden, wodurch die Bildung von Blutgerinnseln begünstigt wird. Diese können wiederum einen Herzinfarkt auslösen.
Eine bakterielle Beteiligung an der koronaren Herzkrankheit wird seit langem vermutet, doch es fehlten direkte und überzeugende Beweise. In dieser Studie wurde das Vorhandensein von genetischem Material – DNA – verschiedener oraler Bakterien in atherosklerotischen Plaques nachgewiesen.

Pregnant women should not consume more than 200 mg of caffeine per day – approximately 2 cups. Higher amounts are associated with an increased risk of low birth weight.

Benefits primarily relate to black coffee
https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/17/15/2558
A growing body of evidence from large-scale epidemiological studies consistently shows that moderate coffee consumption is associated with a lower risk of all-cause and cause-specific mortality, as well as major chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, cognitive decline and respiratory illnesses. These benefits often persist across diverse populations.
The protective effects of coffee are likely mediated through improved glucose balance, enhanced physical activity, increased fat oxidation, anti-inflammatory properties and enhanced metabolic and pulmonary functions. While concerns persist regarding pregnancy outcomes, anxiety and sleep disturbances, particularly at high consumption levels, most data support the safety and benefits of moderate coffee intake (three to five cups per day) for the general population.
Coffee also improves other aspects of well-being, such as mental alertness, physical performance and hydration, thereby enhancing its role in daily functioning. Although most evidence comes from observational studies, the consistency of findings across settings adds to their credibility. Future research, especially randomised controlled trials and genetic studies, will help to clarify unanswered questions and identify subgroups that may benefit most or require caution. In summary, when consumed in moderation and tailored to individual tolerance, coffee appears to be a health-promoting beverage.

Trapping gut bacteria's hidden fuel improves blood sugar and liver health
https://medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07-gut-bacteria-hidden-fuel-blood.html
A new way to improve blood sugar levels and reduce liver damage: by trapping a little-known fuel made by gut bacteria before they wreak havoc on the body
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1550413125003286
"Since the portal circulation connects the gut and liver, we hypothesized that gut microbiota-derived D-lactate participates in host metabolism related to hepatic control of blood glucose and liver fat. We found that D-lactate participates in host glucose and lipid metabolism and that a single strain of bacteria that produces more D-lactate can raise blood glucose in mice. We also hypothesized that sequestration and elimination of gut microbiota-derived D-lactate before it crosses the gut barrier using a substrate trap of D-lactate produced by bacteria in the lumen of the gut would lower blood glucose during obesity and lower a trigger for liver inflammation during MAFLD. We designed a new biocompatible D-lactate gut substrate trap and found that oral delivery of this polymer lowered blood glucose, markers of insulin resistance, and hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in obese mice."

The impact of post-traumatic stress on the mental state of university hospital physicians – a cross sectional study.
Hospital physicians have an increased risk for post-traumatic stress caused by work-related trauma (2022 Feb 3)
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8815118/

The physicians’ risks of experiencing symptoms of depression were significantly higher if flashbacks were affirmed. The results indicate the need for physicians’ workplace support such as crisis intervention and good structures of social support among colleges
