What is healthy aging and longevity? 

What-is-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_0_0

What-is-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_0_1

The definition states that longevity (lifespan) is the length of time we spend alive. Human longevity varies depending on multiple factors, including socioeconomic status, gender, and lifestyle, with an average human life expectancy several years lower at 69.8 years for men and 74.9 years for women. Within the European Union, they are 77.8 and 83.3 years old, respectively. 1

What-is-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_0_2

Healthy aging is the process of maintaining good health and functional abilities in old age. A similar concept is healthy ageing, a term defined as the number of years of life spent in good health, free of chronic diseases and disabilities associated with aging.

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?

How can diet affect healthy aging and longevity? 

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_1_0

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_1_1

Diet and maintaining a healthy body weight play a major role in healthy aging and longevity, with different foods and dietary patterns can increase or decrease the risk of various age-related diseases. It is obvious that overweight and obesity increase the risk of many chronic diseases that reduce life expectancy and health, including type 2 diabetes, stroke and others.&nbsp;

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_1_2

Two diets often studied in the context of aging and life expectancy are caloric restriction (CR) and intermittent fasting (IF). The first pattern involves (usually at least 10%) a decrease in calorie intake relative to typical levels without causing malnutrition, while intermittent fasting involves alternating periods of normal food intake with prolonged periods (usually 16-48 hours) of low to no food intake.

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_1_3

CR and IF have often been found to prolong the life expectancy of animals (especially mice) as well as improve risk factors for age-related diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes).

How-can-diet-affect-healthy-aging-and-longevity?_1_4

The third regimen that is recommended for weight control, cardioprotective effect and preserved cognitive function with advancing age is the Mediterranean diet. 2 In short, this diet is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nuts and legumes, and olive oil.&nbsp;

Dietary supplements for longevity - how can they help? 

Dietary-supplements-for-longevity---how-can-they-help?_2_0

Dietary-supplements-for-longevity---how-can-they-help?_2_1

Supplements that may help reduce the risk of diseases shortening life expectancy and/or healthy aging include cocoa extract (for cardiovascular disease), protein powder (for sarcopenia), and some B vitamins (for cognitive decline). Beyond vitamin deficiency treatment, the evidence for many of these supplements is conflicting or has significant deficiencies. More research is needed.&nbsp;

Dietary-supplements-for-longevity---how-can-they-help?_2_3

However, animal studies have noted improvements in life expectancy and/or health expectancy from a variety of supplements, including NAD+ precursors (e.g., nicotinamide riboside and nicotinamide mononucleotide), glycine (sometimes in combination with N-acetyl cysteine), and alpha-ketoglutarate. may be able to lengthen telomeres (the sequences of DNA at the end of chromosomes that shorten with age). 4

Dietary-supplements-for-longevity---how-can-they-help?_2_4

Here are other substances that have been shown to help with beneficial health effects, including anti-aging effects, antioxidant effects, anti-inflammatory, and other effects.

Creatine

Creatine_2_0

Creatine_2_1

Creatine helps deliver energy to cells throughout the body, especially muscle cells. It is important to take it in the form of monohydrate. Creatine is stored as phosphocreatine in the body and helps regenerate energy in our cells in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As we age, our muscles become weaker. This process is called sarcopenia.&nbsp;

Creatine_2_2

To slow down this process, we must strive to maximize muscle strength in our youth, maintain muscle strength in middle age, and minimize muscle loss in old age. Supplementation with creatine can support this process.

Creatine_2_3

Various studies provide a large body of evidence that creatine may not only improve athletic performance, but may play a role in preventing and/or reducing injury severity, improving rehabilitation from injuries, and helping athletes to endure heavy training loads. Some evidence suggests that creatine can prevent skin aging, treat muscle diseases, help people with multiple sclerosis (MS) exercise and improve athletic fitness in general. 5&nbsp;

Creatine_2_4

Creatine can improve muscle strength and control, and hence fitness and mobility in general. In the elderly, these improvements may help reduce the risk of falls, although much more research is needed for confirmation. When combined with resistance training, creatine can also improve bone health. When creatine levels are suboptimal, as is often the case in the elderly, vegans, and vegetarians, creatine intake may also improve cognitive abilities.&nbsp;

Collagen

Collagen_2_0

Collagen_2_1

Collagen is the main structural protein in the extracellular matrix found in the various connective tissues of the body. As the main component of connective tissue, it is the most abundant protein in mammals, accounting for 25% to 35% of the protein content of the whole body. Your body produces collagen, but the ability to produce it suffers as we get older. Here are just a few of the health benefits of taking collagen:

Collagen_2_2

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">tissue restoration</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">immune response</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">cellular communication</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">cell migration - a process necessary to maintain tissues.</li></ul>Collagen is part of the so-called extracellular matrix (ECM). ECM consists of chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, collagen, elastin and other long filament-like structures that give firmness to our tissues, including our skin and joints. That's why chondroitin can also be taken as a supplement to improve joint health, on par with collagen and the other ones listed. 6&nbsp;

Collagen_2_3

The best form of collagen intake at the moment is hydrolyzed collagen as collagen peptides. They are easily and quickly absorbed by the body, as they are in the appropriate form.&nbsp;

Hyaluronic-acid

Hyaluronic acid 

Hyaluronic-acid_2_0

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is an unsulfated glycosaminoglycan and a major component of the extracellular matrix.&nbsp;

Hyaluronic-acid_2_1

Hyaluronic acid has been shown to protect against a number of respiratory diseases, help with weight loss, is beneficial for brain health, relieves incontinence and bladder pain, heals wounds and promotes healing, reduces skin wrinkles and has great anti-cancer potential.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hyaluronic-acid_2_2

According to a 2018 study, hyaluronic acid-based nanomaterials could be used to treat cancer. &nbsp; 7 Hyaluronic acid shows superior physico-chemical nature, such as high water binding capacity, nontoxicity, biodegradability, cytocompatibility and nonimmunogenicity. Because of these biological capabilities, there is great interest in developing hyaluronic acid-based nanomaterials for a variety of biomedical applications, including drug delivery systems and molecular imaging.

Hyaluronic-acid_2_3

Hyaluronic acid of high molecular size can stop the growth of cancer cells and prevent the immune system from developing an overreaction. Low molecular weight hyaluronic acid in turn can contribute to the health of hair, skin and nails, as it is their component, along with collagen, elastin and others. That is why it is also present in this list of the best products for health and longevity.&nbsp;

Omega-3-fatty-acids

Omega-3 fatty acids 

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_0

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_1

Omega-3 fatty acids play a key role in heart health, immune health, and eye health. Most people are deficient in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s are also associated with benefits for skin photoprotection, anti-inflammatory effect and counteracting oxidative stress.&nbsp; 8

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_2

Sufficient intake of omega-3 fatty acids also improves sleep and reduces dryness of the skin (and dry eyes).

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_3

There are plant sources of omega-3, such as walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseed. However, only a very small fraction of these plant-based omega-3 fatty acids are converted into their active forms, namely EPA and DHA.

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_4

In addition to taking an omega-3 fatty acid supplement, we recommend consuming:

Omega-3-fatty-acids_2_5

<ul><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">At least 4-5 times a week oily fish, such as salmon, mackerel, anchovies or sardines.&nbsp;</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">At least 4-5 times a week fish caviar (eg herring caviar, fish caviar or salmon caviar). Fish roes are fish eggs that contain large amounts of phosphatidylcholine-omega-3 fatty acids.</li><li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">At least a handful of walnuts, chia seeds and/or flaxseed every day.</li></ul>

Trimethylglycine

Trimethylglycine_2_0

Trimethylglycine has numerous beneficial properties, including helping exercise and supporting vital organs, such as the liver and heart. It is an amino acid derivative and has been linked to benefits for controlling insulin levels, counteracting fatigue and depression, and more.&nbsp;

Trimethylglycine_2_1

Both choline and trimethylglycine reduce homocysteine, especially the influx of homocysteine, which occurs after methionine-rich feeding (for example, with meat). Maximum homocysteine lowering occurs when choline and trimethylglycine are combined with folate-rich foods or folic acid supplements. Spinach and wheat germ are some of the best dietary sources of choline and trimethylglycine.

NAC 

NAC_2_0

NAC (H-Acetyl Cysteine) is a powerful antioxidant and free radical&nbsp; scavenger. They accelerate aging and inflammation, and weaken your immune system. NAC can reduce this destruction by free radicals in your cells by increasing glutathione production in all your cells and especially in the liver. 9

It would be wonderful for us all to age as good wine matures - gradually and with finesse. But a dynamic lifestyle doesn't seem to allow us to. It is largely up to us to control our nutrition and portions, to be active in our daily lives, to exercise and to indulge in well-deserved relaxation. Because not only the body needs it, but also the psyche, which also pays its tribute in the fight against aging.&nbsp; We hope that with this selection of tips and suggestions for appropriate dietary supplements we will help you improve your health care.
