- Gravity causes chronic reduction in brain blood flow, especially affecting deep brain structures like the hypothalamus and brainstem.
- Long-term reduced blood flow to these areas contributes to neurodegeneration, systemic dysregulation, and faster aging.
- Counteracting gravity's effects through vascular reserve building, maintaining daily flow, and nourishing the system can slow aging.
- The Gravity Aging Hypothesis suggests gravity-induced cerebral hypoperfusion is a major, unrecognized factor in aging.
- Preserving cerebral blood flow (CBF) could protect brain command centers, potentially extending healthy lifespan.
- Astronauts' accelerated aging in microgravity is due to different factors like mechanical unloading, not contradicting the gravity hypothesis.
