With the goal of boosting our longevity, most people often focus on diet, exercise and stress management. But there’s one vital aspect that sometimes gets overlooked: sleep. Sleep is important because it allows for certain functions to occur — not necessarily because it in and of itself is necessarily important.  In fact, when you’re able to achieve a deep sleep, your body is able to detoxify itself and clear out the “junk” that plagues you during the day. Overall, restorative sleep can play...

When it comes to overall health and longevity, staying mentally agile and maintaining optimal brain function is key. In today's day and age, developments in science have played a role in introducing promising compounds. Two of which, Cognizin® Citicoline and BPC-157, both offer serious potential in supporting brain health and cognitive function. Cognizin® Citicoline is a naturally occurring compound found within every cell of the body, with especially high concentrations in the brain and ha...

There are many supplement “powerhouse duos” that, when taken together, can improve a person’s overall health. Vitamin C and zinc help boost the immune system and can decrease your chances of catching a cold. Calcium and magnesium can help improve bone and tooth health. But when it comes to longevity, taking the peptide BPC-157 along with probiotic Akkermansia muciniphila can have positive effects on gut health and, ultimately, longevity. BPC-157 strengthens the gut barrier, sealing off potent...

The gut microbiota is incredibly diverse, consisting of trillions of microorganisms, each with its own distinct characteristics and functions. However, in this vast labyrinth of gut microbiota, one bacteria stands out: Akkermansia muciniphila, or Akkermansia for short.  With its potential as the "longevity probiotic" gaining traction, researchers have begun to unravel Akkermansia’s many benefits and abilities when it comes to promote healthy aging while also warding off age-related ailments.1...

Cold plunges, as unpleasant as they may seem, can potentially offer many health benefits, thanks to the body’s response to cold temperatures.  Derived from ancient Scandinavian traditions, cold exposure can trigger a range of reactions within the body, including vasoconstriction—or the narrowing of the blood vessels—and the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, ultimately promoting better circulation and supporting immune function as well as mental clarity. Cold plunges have also played ...

Los avances recientes en microbiología han llevado al reconocimiento de la microbiota intestinal como un componente esencial que contribuye al proceso de envejecimiento. La microbiota intestinal es un ecosistema diverso de microorganismos que residen en el tracto gastrointestinal y que influye profundamente en la salud del huésped. Esta entrada de revista tiene como objetivo explorar los mecanismos mediante los cuales la microbiota intestinal influye en el envejecimiento y las posibles inter...

Introducción La longevidad, el deseo de prolongar nuestra vida preservando la salud y la vitalidad, ha sido una fascinación a lo largo de la historia de la humanidad. En la búsqueda de la longevidad, la ciencia médica ha logrado avances significativos, revelando el papel de los procesos celulares, las células senescentes, la función mitocondrial y la salud de los telómeros en el proceso de envejecimiento. Junto a estos avances, los compuestos naturales han surgido como candidatos prometedo...
