 Issue #56 I June 2, 2025  Daniel and Caroline   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. When it comes to thriving longer, most advice stops at diet and exercise. But the science of longevity is evolving and so are we. This week, we’re exploring the brain-body connection behind SuperAger cognition, spotlighting a 30-year study on carbs and aging and revealing how a single mindset shift can change the way you move. Plus, a recipe for a summer longevity salad you can bring to every picnic. Let’s dive in!   15 Biomarkers That May Predict SuperAger Brains What separates a SuperAger brain from the rest? A new 2025 study published in Nature used advanced AI modeling to identify 15 biomarkers that help distinguish people who reach their 70s and 80s with high-performing cognitive abilities from those who experience typical age-related cognitive decline. These markers weren’t exotic. They were largely metabolic, inflammatory, or related to liver, immune, or vascular health, all things your standard blood panel might already be checking. Interestingly, most biomarkers fell within normal clinical ranges but hovered near the upper or lower limits. While more research is needed, this study offers a fresh way to think about aging well. Learn which 15 biomarkers reveal if you’ll stay sharp as you age →   The Truth About Carbs, Backed by a 30-Year Study If you’ve ever cut carbs in the name of health, here’s a reframe worth chewing on: A landmark 32-year study just published in JAMA offers one of the strongest connections yet between high-quality carbohydrate intake and healthy aging. The research followed over 47,000 women from midlife into their 70s and 80s, revealing that those who consumed more fiber-rich carbohydrates (think fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes) had significantly greater odds of thriving in older adulthood. In fact, for every 10% increase in calories from high-quality carbohydrates was linked to a 31% greater chance of healthy aging.   It's Not Just Swiping Right, It’s Self-Discovery The best dating apps help you explore more than matches. They help you get to know yourself better in the process. And how well they work often comes down to your mindset, not just your profile. In this guide, we break down the best dating apps for people over 40, from the ones designed for serious relationships to apps built for exploring what’s out there without pressure. We spoke with a love coach, evaluated features that matter (like age ranges, filters, and verification), and considered how each app supports meaningful, age-aligned connection.   One Mental Shift Changes How You Exercise Your workouts are colored by how you frame the challenge of exercise. A new study published in PLOS ONE reveals that what you believe about a workout before you even break a sweat can significantly influence how difficult it feels. This isn’t about pretending or pushing through. It’s about the subtle, measurable power of placebo-like expectations to alter physical perception in real time. And here’s where it gets personal: the effect depends on how you see yourself. This study offers a reminder that if you can shift your beliefs about your body, your tools, and your effort, you can literally change how hard something feels. Try this mindset reframing practice to shift your internal narrative and change your relationship to exercise. This Quiz Can Predict How Ready to take control of your health?
