Alpha-Ketoglutarate: A Key to Healthspan and Fighting Age-Related Diseases
Supplementing with Alpha-ketoglutarate (αKG) might be beneficial for longevity since it plays a role in energy production and inflammation reduction.
Longevity Genes: Hacking healthspan using genomics
Several genes have been identified as longevity genes, linked to an increase in lifespan. Most importantly, these particular genetic variants show links to a longer ‘healthspan’. Check your genetic data to see if you carry the FOXO3A and IGF1R variants associated with healthy longevity.
Rapamycin, mTOR, and Your Genes
Rapamycin is an antibiotic used as an immunosuppressant, an anti-cancer agent, and to prevent blocked arteries. Rapamycin is now the focus of longevity and healthspan-extending research by inhibiting mTOR.
Fisetin: Antioxidant and Senolytic
Fisetin is a natural flavonol found in several types of fruits and vegetables and may prove to be a critical anti-aging component. In several recent studies, fisetin clears out senescent cells holding a lot of promise for healthy aging. Learn more about the newest research into this possible longevity compound.
Telomere Length: How your genes affect telomeres and aging
Your telomeres are the region at the end of each chromosome that keeps your DNA intact when your cells divide. Telomeres that are too short cause cells to stop dividing. This causes some of the diseases of aging. Genetics plays a role here – along with diet and lifestyle.
