Your heart is giving you a secret report card... if you know how to read it. What NT‑ProBNP really is In 1988 Japanese researchers discovered a molecule in pig brain tissue that helped the body dump excess salt and water. They named it brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). A few years later they found the same peptide produced in the human ventricles. When heart muscle feels pressure... high blood pressure, fluid overload... it cranks up BNP gene expression. The heart then releases a large precursor, pro‑BNP, which quickly splits into two fragments as it leaves the cell: the active hormone BNP and the inactive fragment NT‑ProBNP. BNP vanishes in about twenty minutes; NT‑ProBNP lingers for roughly two hours, making it far easier to detect in a routine blood draw. Why NT‑ProBNP beats every other aging test Because it hangs around, NT‑ProBNP provides a clearer picture of how hard the heart is working. Higher levels mean the heart is under chronic strain. Researchers soon realized the pattern wasn’t limited to cardiac health. As we age, tissues lose elasticity, muscles shrink, cells either self‑destruct (apoptosis) or become “zombie” cells that refuse to die (senescence). NT‑ProBNP rises in lockstep with those processes, acting like a biological clock embedded in your bloodstream. The 2021 Bologna study – the turning point A team in Bologna measured NT‑ProBNP alongside dozens of other markers in more than a thousand adults aged 65‑93 who had no heart failure. They followed the participants for seven years, recording who survived. NT‑ProBNP showed the strongest correlation with chronological age... far outpacing cholesterol, glucose, CRP, and even sophisticated epigenetic clocks. It also emerged as the single best predictor of mortality, with a hazard ratio about 1.5 times stronger than the next best marker. From raw number to biological age The researchers plotted NT‑ProBNP values against age, fitting separate logarithmic curves for men and women. Those curves let them reverse the equation: feed a lab‑reported NT‑ProBNP value into the formula and get a “Pro‑BNP‑H” age... a biological age estimate derived from a single blood test. If your Pro‑BNP‑H age is lower than your calendar age, you’re aging slower; if it’s higher, you’re aging faster. How to calculate it yourself For men the formula is: `Biological age = (ln(NT‑ProBNP) + 1.2068) / 0.0827` For women the constants differ slightly. Take your NT‑ProBNP result in picograms per milliliter, hit the “LN” button on any smartphone calculator, plug the output into the equation, and you’ll get a number in years. Six rules every true aging biomarker must pass 1. Correlates with chronological age – NT‑ProBNP rises steadily as years pile on, producing a clean, predictable curve. 2. Reflects biological, not just calendar, aging – In the seven‑year follow‑up, the marker predicted mortality better than age itself. 3. Links to morbidity – Higher levels accompany a greater burden of chronic diseases; each extra condition adds years to the biological age gap. 4. Tracks the aging process, not disease spikes – Even healthy volunteers without any diagnosed condition show a gradual exponential rise. 5. Easy, cheap, repeatable – It’s part of standard chemistry panels worldwide, costing roughly $35 and requiring no exotic equipment. 6. Responsive to interventions – This is the only rule still in question. So far no supplement or lifestyle regimen has been shown to blunt the rise in healthy people, though heart‑failure treatments do lower it. Large‑scale validation A 2025 analysis of almost 10,000 U.S. adults (20‑85 years) linked Pro‑BNP‑H age to all‑cause and heart‑related mortality even after adjusting for other biological‑age algorithms like KDM and PhenoAge. A follow‑up trial (PBAR) gave 120 septuagenarians three different supplement combos (CoQ10 + selenium, resveratrol + TA65, placebo) for two years. NT‑ProBNP kept climbing regardless of treatment... about two and a half biological years over the study period. The ultimate stress test came from a Japanese cohort of people aged 105‑115. Every conventional marker (cholesterol, glucose, inflammation) lost predictive power after 105 years, but NT‑ProBNP remained the lone harbinger of mortality. Higher values meant a higher chance of death even among centenarians without cardiovascular disease. What this means for you - You can get the test today. Ask your doctor for NT‑ProBNP; it’s already on the panel for heart‑failure screening. - Interpret the number with the gender‑specific formula to see whether your body feels older or younger than your birth date. - Use the result as a reality check, not a magic fix. It tells you where you stand, not how to turn the clock back. - Focus on what does move the needle: regular aerobic exercise, strength training, and maintaining muscle mass have the most robust evidence for slowing the physiological processes that drive NT‑ProBNP upward. - Stay tuned for future interventions. Scientists are still hunting for drugs or lifestyle tweaks that can actually lower NT‑ProBNP in healthy people. Until then, the marker remains a reliable gauge of cumulative stress on the cardiovascular system and, by extension, overall biological wear. NT‑ProBNP is the most practical, single‑parameter biological age test on the market. It correlates with age, predicts mortality, reflects disease burden, rises in healthy people, and costs a fraction of DNA‑based clocks. The only missing piece is a proven method to push the number down. Until that breakthrough arrives, the smartest move is to treat a high NT‑ProBNP as a red flag... dial in exercise, manage blood pressure, and keep an eye on heart health. The clock may keep ticking, but you now have a clear readout of how fast it’s moving.

"Synthetic Artificial Sweeteners Cause Damage To The Brain." Dr Robert Lustig, MD Chemical Sweetener Use Showed 289% Increase In Alzheimer's Disease. And 296% Greater Risk Of Ischemic Stroke. Daily Consumption Of These 6 Sweeteners Are Linked To Alzheimer's Dementia & Stroke. Some sugar substitutes come with consequences for long-term brain health... The artificial sweeteners examined were aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame-K, erythritol, xylitol & sorbitol. These are found in ultra-processed foods like flavored water, soda, energy drinks, yogurt, diet candy, low calorie desserts, ice cream, etc. Some are also used as a standalone sweetener. Low- & no-calorie sweeteners are seen as a healthy alternative to sugar, research data shows certain sweeteners have very negative & harmful effects on brain health over time. The daily consumption of the amount of sweetener in just 1 can of diet soda with these artificial sugar substitutes showed 63% decline in cognitive function over the course of 8 years. The measured amount of artificial sweetener equates to approximately 1 teaspoon or 190 milligrams. 1 can of diet soda contains 200-300 milligrams of artificial sweetener. The findings are the latest to warn about the dangers posed by sweeteners. Previous studies on these sweeteners have already shown an increase risk of a range of diseases including type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart problems, depression & dementia, and damage the endothelial gut wall. Aspartame: Synthetically made by modifying Aspartic Acid & Phenylalanine. Linked to kidney & liver damage, anxiety, cognitive decline & DNA damage. Sucralose: Chemically made by replacing 3 hydroxyl groups with chlorine. It is a neurotoxin & carcinogen. Saccharin: Made from Toluene Coal Tar & undergoes oxidation, chlorination & ammoniation synthesis. Linked to bladder cancer & altered gut microbiome. Acesulfame-K: Laboratory made from reacting acetoacetic acid with fluorosulfonyl isocyanate. Linked to coronary heart disease, cancer & type 2 diabetes. Erythritol: Synthesized from GMO Corn. Causal for cardiovascular events & cerebrovascular damage. Xylitol: Commercially made from birch trees & GMO Corn. Can Cause GI distress. Highly toxic & deadly to dogs. Sorbitol: Synthetically made from GMO Corn. Causes blood glucose spikes & GI distress along with cognitive damage. Non Nutritive Sweeteners Found To Be Safe: Allulose Monk Fruit Stevia Leaf (If you do not have pre-existing heart issues or ragweed allergy, it is safe for most people) Safe Natural Sugar For Those Who Consume Carbs: Raw Honey Coconut Sugar Unrefined/Unbleached Turbinado Sugar Maple Syrup Molasses Date Sugar 👇Artificial Sweeteners Cause Dementia & Stroke👇 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/article… 👇No Calorie Sweeteners & Cognitive Decline👇 neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN… 👇8 Year Study On Cognitive Decline: Sweeteners👇 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/4090… Speakers: Steven Bartlett & Dr Robert Lustig, MD Podcast: @Diary_Of_A_CEO Video: @theneurofactory
Just 1 minute of vigorous exercise is equivalent to 4 minutes of moderate activity (or 53 minutes of walking) for lowering all-cause mortality, according to a recent Biobank study For cardiovascular mortality, the difference was even larger 1 minute of vigorous exercise equates to 8 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, or 73 minutes of walking It just goes to show... Vigorous-intensity physical activity is the best type of exercise you can do—across the board
