Longevity - Growing old healthily with nutrition & lifestyle
Longevity means more healthy years of life. Find out how nutrition, micronutrients and exercise have a positive influence on the ageing process.
Things worth knowing about "Longevity"
Longevity not only describes a long life, but above all the ability to remain healthy and vital for as many years as possible.
In longevity research, people are therefore increasingly talking about ""healthspan"" - i.e. a healthy lifespan. The decisive factor here is not just genetic predisposition, but above all a conscious lifestyle with a focus on nutrition, exercise, sleep, mental balance and social cohesion.
Scientific evidence shows that certain dietary strategies - such as fasting, calorie restriction and a plant-based, antioxidant-rich diet - influence cell processes that are partly responsible for ageing and susceptibility to disease. Micronutrients such as coenzyme Q10, spermidine, OPC or NAD+ precursors such as NMN are also being investigated as they can promote cellular repair mechanisms such as autophagy or DNA stability.
Observations from so-called ""blue zones"", regions with a particularly high number of centenarians, show that longevity is often based on simple principles: exercise every day, low stress levels, lots of social contact and a conscious lifestyle. Today, these findings are incorporated into modern prevention and longevity concepts - with the aim of not only growing old, but also growing old healthily.
