ULTIMATELY AGELESS - understanding longevity

What is Life Span vs Health Span + Chronological and Biologic Age?

Chronological age is how long you have existed. Biological age is how old your cells are. Sometimes these two numbers are the same for people, but everyone ages at different rates. Your healthspan is the period of life where you are free of any aging-related disease.

How to test your Biological Age?

EVOLT
Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA)

The Evolt says that this algorithm is necessary for accuracy and that the device has a 98–99% repeatability rate. A person's Bio Age can change over time due to lifestyle and other health factors. For example, people with more visceral fat or fat around their midsection may have an older Bio Age than their actual age. If a person's Bio Age indicates that their body is younger than their chronological age, the Evolt can provide tips to help improve their skeletal muscle mass, protein mass, and body fat.

The Evolt 360 body scanner estimates a person's biological age, or "Bio Age", based on their body composition. This estimate takes into account a number of factors, including:

• Lean body mass versus fat mass
• The Evolt's Bio-Wellness Index (BWI) compares lean body mass to total fat mass to provide a score out of 10 that measures progress toward healthy lean body mass.
• Age and gender
• The BWI compares a person's age and gender to World Health Organization standards.
• Electrical current impedance
• The Evolt uses a 5-point algorithm that also takes into account a person's height, weight, and the impedance of an electrical current

OTHER TEST
Epigenetic Test

GrimAge and other epigenetic clock tests are based on a process called DNA methylation. As we get older, chemical tags called methyl groups latch onto our DNA. The pattern of these tags gives researchers an indicator of biological age.

Oxidative stress (OS) and DNA methylation are both pathogenic mechanisms that can be linked. OS can cause DNA methylation changes through genome damage, and DNA methylation can influence gene activation or deactivation in response to OS

SOLUTIONS
What is OS?

Oxidative stress is an imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants in your body that leads to cell damage. It plays a role in many conditions like cancer, Alzheimer's disease and heart disease. Toxins like pollution and cigarette smoke can cause oxidative stress, while foods rich in antioxidants can help reduce it.

ANTIOXIDANTS + SOURCES OF ANTIOXIDANTS

Plant foods are rich sources of antioxidants. They are most abundant in fruits and vegetables, as well as other foods including nuts and some meats, poultry and fish. Good sources of specific antioxidants include:

• allium sulphur compounds – leeks, onions and garlic
• anthocyanins – eggplant, grapes and berries (blueberries)
• beta-carotene – pumpkin, mangoes, apricots, carrots, spinach and parsley
• catechins – red wine and tea
• copper – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts
• cryptoxanthins – red capsicum (pepper), pumpkin and mangoes
• flavonoids – tea, green tea, citrus fruits, red wine, onion and apples
• indoles – cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower
• isoflavonoids – soybeans, tofu, lentils, peas and milk
• lignans – sesame seeds, bran, whole grains and vegetables
• lutein – green, leafy vegetables like spinach, and corn
• lycopene – tomatoes, apricots, pink grapefruit and watermelon
• manganese – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts
• polyphenols – herbs,  cruciferous vegetables
• selenium – seafood, offal, lean meat and whole grains
• vitamin A – liver, sweet potatoes (purple), carrots, milk, and egg yolks
• vitamin C – oranges, blackcurrants, kiwifruit, mangoes, broccoli, spinach, capsicum and strawberries
• vitamin E – Olive oil, avocado oil or avocados, nuts, seeds and whole grains
• zinc – seafood, lean meat, milk and nuts

PROTEIN + PEPTIDES

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that are linked together by chemical bonds called peptide bonds. They are the building blocks of proteins and are essential for many biochemical and physiological processes in the body. Peptides are typically 2–50 amino acids long, but can be up to 100 amino acids. When a peptide chain has 51 or more amino acids, it is called a polypeptide.

Your body makes peptides that serve important functions in some of your body's most necessary processes. For instance, insulin is a 51-amino-acid-long peptide hormone that helps your cells take in sugars from your food to use for metabolism and store them in your liver.

WHAT'S THE RIGHT PROTEIN?
OR what is the right protein for longevity?

Whey protein can help older adults maintain muscle and bone mass, and counterbalance their less efficient metabolisms. Un-denatured whey protein from isolate and high quality dairy sources may also increase the body's glutathione stores, an antioxidant made up of three amino acids. Which battles the Oxidative Stress (OS) mentioned above.
