Antioxidants are the universal currency for Longevity.🧬

In the years to come we will have accumulated enough data and ultimately knowledge which will allow each of us to prevent and slow the ageing process, so that we can successfully reach well beyond 100 years of age.👵🏼

Whilst genetic 🧬 limitations to our longevity are probable, we all have the genetic potential and capacity to live a healthy and fruitful life well beyond 100.

However, whilst we all wait for the singularity and AI 🤖 to number crunch the tremendous amount of data and fully understand the genetic 🧬 pathways and biochemical processes involved in the hallmarks of ageing.

What can we learn from the Centenarians 👵🏼 around the world 🌎….?

Well, one main area that seems to be extremely common throughout the Blue Zone is a daily consumption of nutrient dense 🥗 and antioxidant rich foods or drinks.

This seems to neutralise free radicals 🦠 which attack our cells and mitochondria that may increase our risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and diabetes etc.

In many countries around the world and their Blue Zones, the daily consumption of a wide variety of vegetables 🦠, fruits🍊, dark berries 🍇, chocolate 🍫, wine 🍷, coffee ☕, along with tea 🍵 seem to be a common theme and universal.

A steady and daily flow of vitamin C, beta-carotene, flavanols, lycopene’s, proanthocyanins and polyphenols found in dark fruits, berries, vegetables, cocoa, red wine, tea and coffee may be one of the reasons why Blue Zones appear to flourish and possibly protect their centenarians.

When research was conducted by Muhdo Health, investigating common themes or single aspects for Longevity imbedded within various cultures from around the world 🌎, the team was often left scratching their heads

However, instead of looking for the “Magic Pill 💊or Fountain of Youth” which unfortunately most people seek, Muhdo Health started to examine the actual categories of Longevity….the answer became far more obvious.

One of the secrets to good health, longevity and living to a healthy and fruitful old age is antioxidants. One common theme with centenarians 👵🏼 around the world 🌎 is consuming multiple sources and forms of antioxidants each day.
