You want longevity without chronic debilitating illness, emphasis on \u201chealth span\u201d over lifespan. You want to stand in line at a ski slope rather than a pharmacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember most chronic illnesses are the product of poor lifestyle choices, mainly dietary and inactivity. Let\u2019s look at some theories on why we age:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Genetic<\/strong>:\u00a0This effect is probably overrated. If everyone in your family lives into their 90s, you\u2019ve gotten lucky, but an unhealthy lifestyle will blow your advantage out of the water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Free radicals\u00a0<\/strong>are altered oxygen molecules that we generate just because we\u2019re living, breathing beings, but we also get them from our polluted environment, tobacco smoke, and fried foods. Free radicals inexorably damage cells, especially the tips of our chromosomes, called telomeres.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/26\/intravenous-nad-and-your-telomeres\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>I wrote more about this here<\/strong><\/a>. Telomere shortening is currently the strongest theory of why we age.\u00a0 Supplements called antioxidants mop up free radicals and preserve telomere length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Immunologic decline<\/strong>\u00a0occurs with the passage of time. We saw this expressed during the Covid-19 pandemic with the highest mortality among the elderly. But again, healthy older adults without chronic illnesses did about as well as young people, their immune systems fit enough to protect them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Chronic stress<\/strong>\u00a0throws a wrench into every smooth-functioning system of your body.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Obesity, chronic inflammation, mind\/body inactivity, and nutritional deficiencies <\/strong>all press the fast-forward button on aging.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HABITS THAT BOOST YOUR &#8220;HEALTH SPAN&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let\u2019s review what you can do day-to-day to dial back aging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, start your own anti-aging eating program, asking at every meal, \u201cDoes this contribute to my longevity?\u201d or, if you want to sound scientific, \u201cWill this food shorten my telomeres?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your goal isn\u2019t all that difficult: Cut out added sugars of all types (from high fructose corn syrup to candy and all sugary drinks). Same for high-glycemic\/white foods, including refined-flour breads and pasta, pastry, cakes, and cookies. Skip junk food entirely. I recently grabbed a can of allegedly sugar-free, carbonated water and spit it out because it was so nauseatingly sweet. I\u2019d never heard of one ingredient, <strong>potassium acesulfame (Ace-K), 200 times sweeter than sugar (!!). <\/strong>Ready for this? \u201cPassed as safe, but some studies are concerned about increased cancer risk by changes in the gut microbiome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your modest calorie intake should be nutrient-dense, meaning you\u2019re avoiding empty calories. Choose responsibly raised meats, wild-caught fish, and organic dairy for protein. Eat whole grains, beans, and high-fiber selections such as brown rice, chickpeas, and nuts. Go for between five and ten portions of fruit and veggies daily. Drink green tea and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25415479\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>coffee for their antioxidant effect<\/strong><\/a>s. <strong>Researchers recently discovered that 4-5 cups of coffee every day can actually protect you from developing dementia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, work your body every day, both physically (brisk walking, stretching, stationary bike, swimming, lifting heavy things) and mentally (keep learning, engage in more complex conversations than sports scores). Maintain connections with people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr E\u2019s ANTI-AGING SUPPLEMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s my personal list of supplements I classify as anti-aging. I take one capsule of each, two times daily, with food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, this list is distinct from the memory-enhancing supplements (nootropics) discussed in a <a href=\"https:\/\/wholehealthchicago.com\/blog\/2021\/06\/21\/before-i-forget-my-supplements-for-memory\">separate Health Tip<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/us.fullscript.com\/o\/care-center\/products\/U3ByZWU6OlByb2R1Y3QtNjgwODU=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resveratrol Ultra HP\u00a0<\/a><\/u><\/strong>supports NAD+, a molecule involved in telomere length.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/us.fullscript.com\/o\/care-center\/products\/U3ByZWU6OlByb2R1Y3QtNjIxNDA=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>UBQH 100 mg<\/strong><\/a>, a very potent antioxidant similar to CoQ10 but with four times the bioavailability.

It is a prescription drug with strong scientific evidence showing it can extend lifespan in mammals by targeting the mTOR pathway, a key regulator of the aging process. The anti-aging guru Brian Johnson discouraged its use because of side effects but he was taking very high (and obviously inappropriate) doses. You\u2019ll need an Rx for rapamycin so schedule with me (or one of my NPs\/PAs) and use the Amazon pharmacy. The dose is 2 mg weekly.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you made it to this point, congratulations.
