A Healthy Longevity
Dear Friends
What is longevity? What brings on the glow of a robust health in both younger and older people? According to the US National Institute of Aging (NIA), longevity is about measured strategies to extend the healthy functioning of our body (Nadon et al., 2008) – these strategies aim to prevent diseases, especially chronic illnesses like cardiovascular and cancer, among others (Caprara, 2018).*
Globally, while the average life span has increased in both developed and developing nations, in the next 30 years the aging population will double to 22%, or about 2 billion people. Since there are about 7.7 billion people in the world, this means that almost a quarter of the world will be over 60 years old (United Nations, Ageing, 2017).*
Old age causes a variety of biological and cognitive degenerations, yet the decline does not have to be debilitating. Just the opposite, with the correct approach toward prevention, healthy longevity can be achieved (Jin et al., 2015). The World health Organization (WHO) has focused their efforts on addressing non-communicable diseases (NCDs), or chronic illnesses, such as cancer, ischemic heart diseases, stroke, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and more, as a preventative approach and a path toward longevity (WHO, 2014; see also Lim et al., 2012 global assessment of both infectious and NCDs diseases).
Historically, in the developed world, longevity was thought of as an anti-aging approach that emphasized looks and energy rather than the whole health. Skin care, makeup, supplements, hormones, and medicines were created to hide age and stimulate our bodies into producing more energy and higher hormonal levels. Merchandise was fused with procedures to tighten or erase wrinkles and skin discolorations, sucking or adding fat, depending on the area treated, to name a few treatments (e.g., Ganceviciene et al., 2012). Mostly, the anti-aging movement was aimed to make women look younger and men more virile.*
The New Longevity represents a comprehensive approach to health and long life (Jin et al., 2015). This new approach to longevity (or healthy ‘anti-aging’) does not solely focus on how we look but how our bodies function healthily from youth through old age (Fontana et al., 2014).

Suggested Dose: Take one teaspoon a day mixed in a small glass of juice, such as pineapple or apple. You can mix with water, only if you are courageous, there are no sweetners, natural flavors, or any additives. Take a look at the wonderful combination of natural organic ingredients. A daily booster any time of the day or night.
Later this week in our Forward Thinking newsletter we will continue to discuss the new scientific thinking and research on longevity and health.
