How to slow your aging
Below is the conclusion of steps that are likely to slow the aging process, supported by the evidence in the growing number of theories.
1. Free radical theory of aging – Get from 250 to 500 mg vitamin C twice a day, which Mito-C can provide, vitamin E, which AREDsII can provide, and Flavanoids from fruits and vegetables.
2. Inflammation – To reduce inflammation, try to reduce your stress and control your diet. Here are foods that reduce inflammation. Consuming antioxidants, staying fit, and relaxing are all useful to keep telomeres longer. Note that EGCG and quercetin in Mito-C also maintain telomere length.
3. Telomere shortening – Consuming antioxidants, staying fit, and relaxing are all useful to keep telomeres longer. Note that EGCG and quercetin in Mito-C also maintain telomere length.
4. Protein misfolding – Mito-C is designed to reduce protein misfolding
5. Microbiome destruction – Avoid antibiotics. Eat yogurt or kefir daily. Eat fiber and whole grain foods to feed the microbiome.
6. Cellular Senescence – Exercise regularly. Saturated fats damage and decrease muscles, while mono- and polyunsaturated fats and a vegetable diet help maintain them.
7. Thymus failure – The small clinical trial used a personal recommended dosage of human growth hormone, DHEA, and metformin. Note that the DHEA and metformin alone did not restore thymus function.
8. Systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance – we considered 11 antiaging interventions with strong support for extending. We found statistically significant support for 7 interventions.
Two can be taken conveniently: rapamycin and resveratrol
The others are fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) excess, Myc heterozygosity, S6 kinase 1 (S6K1) deletion, senolytics and Snell mice. We did not find statistically significant support for the 4 remaining interventions: Ames mice, eating every other day, Little mice and metformin.
9. Deficiency in various vital molecules – Many of the supplements I take have been shown to be deficient in concentration in our bodies as we age.
Niacin to make NAD+ to provide energy
SAMe to regulate mood by controlling adrenaline activity
Taurine- protect against sarcopenia and neurodegenerative disorders
Spermidine – for the immune system and cognitive performance
Leucine and BCAAs – Depending on your diet, these amino acids are important for repairing and maintaining muscles as we age
10. Miscellaneous factors – Eat strawberries, blueberries, fewer simple carbs. Resveratrol, capsaicin, curcumin/turmeric, flavonoids, 2 g of spirulina daily, carnosine, coconut oil all have shown benefits to healthspan.-Blood donation.
