Adventure is ageless

Older adults taking on new challenges 🧗🏽‍♂️ live longer 🧬

“Adventure is defined by the adventurer. For some people, it’s white-water rafting 🌊, and for others, it’s birdwatching 🦜. However, all adventures share characteristics: a sense of anticipation, the physical vitality of the outdoors, and the adrenaline rush of accomplishment.

Nature is healing. 🏥

> Studies show that trees 🌳 release chemicals called phytoncides that support the immune system 🦠.

> Birdsong 🦜 calms brainwaves 🧠.

> Fractals – complex patterns found in clouds ☁️, ocean waves, 🌊 and coastlines – relax the brain 🧠.

> People perform tasks better after a 15 to 45-minute walk 🚶🏻outdoors.

Mindset matters. 😁

The way people perceive their own aging is predictive of how well they age. A pessimistic point of view about aging puts you at greater risk of cardiovascular disease 🫀and dementia 🧠.

When you look at aging with anticipation and you’re excited about what your future may hold, it can add another seven years to your life”.

What have Muhdo Health found that improves Longevity?🧬

For the past 7 years we have been collecting the data on 1000s of engaged anonymised individuals on lifestyle, genetic 🧬 and epigenetic information.

This information holds many undiscovered secrets on how our genetic material (genotyping) 🧬 affects our traits, how are environment 🌎 affects our genes and how we can reverse biological ageing, as measured through DNA 🧬 methylation on genes that are associated with age and pathology, such as cognitive 🧠 deterioration, physical decline 👵🏼, and tissue repair.

It is simple to say that if you eat a balanced diet 🥗, exercise 🏋🏼 and stay stress 🤯 free you will be better off (and you most likely will be!), however Muhdo Health is going further, going into the depths of how we can live longer, healthier and give us more “well” time to achieve our goals and ambitions.

> Omega-3 intake – at minimum 1g of fish oil 🐟 exhibited benefit in reducing ageing.

> Reducing anxiety – anxiety 😥 caused a significant biological age increase. This applies to chronic anxiety.

> Physical activity – those who did no recorded activity 🏋🏼 🏃 had accelerated biological ageing, exercising moderately at least three times per week exhibited a reduction in biological age 🧬 or a stable age.

> Vitamin D3 – Vitamin D3 🌞 intake was correlated with superior biological age scores, individuals had either stable biological ages 🧬 or reduced ages.

> Learning – Those in education 📖, learning a new job/skill had reduced or stable overall ageing with the reduction being magnified on genes 🧬 associated with cognitive decline.
