Bryan Johnson's top 3 tips for reducing wrinkles
All of us want youthful skin. A glowing and plump-looking skin is every other person's dream. No wonder the 'anti-aging' products and treatments industry is booming. The youthfulness starts to fade as we age, and it's completely natural.
Aging also brings wrinkles, which not many are fans of. Health influencer and tech entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, known as the 'anti-aging millionaire' amongst netizens, is on a never-ending quest to age in reverse, and he has now revealed his top three strategies for reducing wrinkles. Before delving into his methods, let's try to understand what wrinkles are.
What are wrinkles
Wrinkles are an inevitable part of aging.
They appear as creases, folds, or ridges in the skin as we age. As we grow older, the skin loses elasticity due to declining collagen and elastin production. As a result, the wrinkles appear. External factors like sun exposure and lifestyle choices can also accelerate this process.
Bryan Johnson's top 3 treatments to reduce wrinkles
Bryan Johnson, who is known for trying out science-based hacks to live longer, first understands how his body is aging.
'Like all things I do, measurement is number one. So I use Visia, which is a multi-spectral imaging to get a baseline age on my face. It looks at UV spots, browns, reds, pore size, etc. And then we measure treatments. For example, skin creams and other therapies,' Bryan Johnson recently told a neuroscientist.

Bryan also stressed that most of the
anti-aging
skin creams don't work. He also revealed that he has done two therapies - Tixel and Sofwave.
'The biggest gains I've had from my skin have been from two therapies. One is Tixel. The second is Sofwave. It's an ultrasound-based therapy that heats up the skin and produces collagen and increases elastin. So other than that, I found that most things have marginal improvement, but that's what I've been doing for the past couple years,' he revealed.
How to reduce wrinkles on face: 7 tips to deal with skin ageing
While wrinkles are a hallmark of aging skin, several other factors can accelerate the
aging
process. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are a primary driver of premature skin aging, often called photoaging. UV radiation breaks down collagen and elastin, leading to sagging, fine lines, and age spots. Using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 50 can reduce the pace.
Diet, exercise, and sleep significantly impact skin health. Smoking and alcohol too, can accelerate aging. Stress and genetics also have a significant impact.

Dementia might begin in your legs, not your brain: AIIMS neurosurgeon reveals how to tell if something's wrong
It might sound strange, but doctors and scientists are now saying your walking speed could be one of the first signs that something's wrong with your brain. According to a Times of India (TOI) report, Dr Arun L Naik, a neurosurgeon at AIIMS New Delhi, believes that dementia may start in the legs, not the mind. A 2022 study, as cited by TOI, revealed that older adults who walked slower had smaller brain volume and were more likely to show signs of cognitive decline. In simple words, slow legs may mean a slow isn't just about moving from place to place. Every step involves your brain working closely with your legs. Your frontal lobe plans the movement, your cerebellum keeps you balanced, and your spinal cord carries the signals. Even your feet send signals back to your if your walk starts changing, becomes slower, uneven, or unsteady, your brain might be sending an early warning. Walking does more than move your legs, it pumps fresh, oxygen-rich blood to your brain. This helps clear out harmful toxins and keeps the brain healthy. But when you sit too long and don't move much, blood flow drops, brain fog increases, and over time, your brain may actually why regular movement, even just walking around the house, keeps both your body and brain powerful reason to keep walking? It boosts BDNF (Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor), a natural chemical that helps brain cells grow, survive, and connect short, BDNF is like a fertiliser for your brain. The more you walk, the more of it you release, and that helps your memory and mental sharpness as you Dr Naik points out, muscle strength in your legs is now seen as a secret sign of brain health. Weak legs not only affect your ability to move or stay balanced but may also link to memory keep your legs strong, do simple resistance exercises, balance workouts, or even just stand up more often. You don't need to hit the gym. A short walk or light stretching daily can do there's a smart way to walk. Doctors suggest 'dual-task walking', walking while talking, counting backwards, or solving a small puzzle. It's a way to train your brain and body together, and might help delay memory legs and your brain are more connected than you think. So next time you go for a walk, know that it's not just good for your heart, it might just protect your memory too.

Bengaluru lab fails to match woman's blood type to anyone, discovers first human with ultra-rare antigen that could revolutionize medicine
When Routine Surgery Unveiled a Rare Mystery A Blood Sample's Journey India's Rising Role in Rare Blood Research Why CRIB Changes the Game In a remarkable turn of events that is being hailed as a historic medical milestone, a 38-year-old woman from Karnataka has become the first person in the world to be identified with a previously unknown blood group antigen — officially named CRIB. According to a report from Times of India, the discovery, unveiled at the 35th Regional Congress of the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) in Milan in June 2025, is now being seen as a potential game-changer in the fields of transfusion medicine and organ transplant name CRIB isn't random — it stands for Cromer-India-Bangalore , paying homage to the antigen's family system and the city where this scientific breakthrough took medical mystery began in an unsuspecting operation theatre.

With every available unit failing the compatibility test, the hospital escalated the case to the Advanced Immunohematology Reference Laboratory at Rotary Bangalore TTK Blood Centre.'We found her blood was panreactive — it reacted with every single donor sample,' said Dr. Ankit Mathur of the Rotary Centre. 'Even 20 of her closest family members didn't match. That's when we knew this was something the world hadn't seen before.'With local testing hitting a wall, blood samples were sent overseas to the International Blood Group Reference Laboratory (IBGRL) in Bristol, UK.

By adding a new antigen to global databases, CRIB opens the door to improved transfusion safety protocols, enhanced compatibility testing, and better organ transplant success rates."This is not just a scientific win — it's a humanitarian one," said a representative from ISBT. 'CRIB will help protect lives where standard blood group typing fails.'
