Targeted nutrient therapy: why supplements are more than just a supplement today
Micronutrients such as magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D are essential for the proper functioning of our body - this is widely known. However, the way we live and eat today has changed radically. As a result, even a seemingly healthy diet can hardly guarantee an optimal supply of all the necessary micronutrients. A [...]
NAD⁺: Cellular energy, protection against ageing and key to longevity
Introduction: Why NAD⁺ is so essential Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD⁺) is a vital coenzyme in every cell in the body. It is centrally involved in processes such as mitochondrial energy production (ATP production), DNA repair, cellular regeneration and epigenetic regulation. NAD⁺ levels fall with increasing age and under stress from infections, oxidative stress or intensive sporting activity - with far-reaching consequences for health [...]
HGF (Human Growth Factor) and Better Aging
What is HGF? HGF, also known as Human Growth Factor, is often used synonymously with HGH (Human Growth Hormone), somatotropin or somatropin (recombinant form). It is an anabolic peptide hormone that is mainly released at night. It is a central growth hormone that is mainly released at night. It stimulates via IGF-1 (insulin-like growth [...]
Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) - Molecular accelerators of the ageing process
Introduction Advanced Glycation Endproducts (AGEs) are stable compounds that are formed in the human organism by a non-enzymatic reaction between free sugar residues and proteins, lipids or nucleic acids. This process, also known as the Maillard reaction, is regarded as one of the central biochemical mechanisms of age-associated cell damage. AGEs are increasingly recognized as contributors to numerous chronic degenerative diseases, including arteriosclerosis, diabetes complications, neurodegenerative diseases [...].
Protein: the underestimated key to strength, health and mental fitness in old age
Living a long life means ageing vigorously Modern longevity research shows: If you want to stay fit in old age, you not only need to keep moving - you also need to take good care of yourself. Protein, long reduced to muscle building and sport, is becoming the central nutrient for healthy ageing. It protects the muscles, supports the metabolism, strengthens the immune system - and even has [...]
Fermentation: How microorganisms are revolutionizing our diet
Well-tried and highly topical: the renaissance of fermentation People were using fermentation to preserve food thousands of years ago - long before refrigerators existed. Whether sauerkraut, sourdough bread, yogurt or kefir: fermented foods are among the oldest components of traditional nutrition. Today, this technique is experiencing an impressive rediscovery - not only for culinary reasons, but above all for health reasons. [...]
Recurrent urinary tract infections? How to protect your urinary tract in a natural and scientifically sound way
Many women - and some men - suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Anyone who is affected knows the symptoms: Burning when urinating, frequent urge to urinate and general malaise. But the good news is that there is now sound scientific evidence on how to reduce the risk - without the need for constant antibiotics. 1. drink more - but [...]
Omega-3 FS in epigenetics
This blog is about a very practical finding that more than underlines the importance of a diet rich in omega-3 foods for a healthy and long life! Epigenetic clocks for measuring the ageing process allow this conclusion to be drawn How quickly we age is not just a question of the calendar. Our biological clock ticks individually and is [...]
Free radicals: how do we deal with them?
Every day our bodies are exposed to an invisible battle - the battle between free radicals and antioxidants. But what exactly are free radicals and why is there so much talk about their potentially harmful effects? Scientific findings show that although these highly reactive molecules can cause damage, they also fulfill essential functions in our organism. What [...]
