Longevity is all about lifestyle and creating habits that support your nervous system, nutrient status while also reducing inflammation and toxins. Here is what I do to enhance my longevity. 

Meditation/Stress Management

Upon waking I take 5-20 minutes to meditate before I am too awake, I like to be in semi-sleepy state when I meditate as I find it easier to keep my mind still. Meditation can help to reduce stress by lowering levels of cortisol, a hormone linked to aging and chronic inflammation, it has also been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress.

Hydration

I then hydrate with a glass of water, then a glass of water with either lemon in lukewarm water or magnesium in water. I try and drink 2-3 litres of fluid per day. Hydration plays a key role in promoting longevity by supporting vital functions like kidney health, circulation, and brain performance. Proper hydration helps regulate blood pressure, reduces oxidative stress, and aids in detoxification, all of which contribute to slowing aging. It also supports healthy skin, joints, digestion, and nutrient absorption. Even mild dehydration can impair cognition and mood, while chronic under-hydration increases the risk of diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Recent studies have linked low fluid intake to faster biological aging and higher risk of chronic illness. Drinking 2–3 liters of water daily and maintaining light yellow urine is a good rule of thumb for staying hydrated.

Exercise

I will do some kind of movement every day; yoga, pilates, cycling and weight lifting are all part of my daily routine.

Exercise supports longevity by improving cardiovascular health, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers. It helps maintain muscle mass, bone density, and metabolic function, which are critical for healthy aging. Regular physical activity also reduces inflammation and oxidative stress, both of which are linked to aging and disease. Additionally, exercise boosts mental health and cognitive function, which contributes to overall well-being and a longer, healthier life.

Infrared Sauna

I use an infra-red sauna 3 x a week to enhance detoxification, healing and reduce stress and inflammation. Infrared sauna has also shown some benefits in improved circulation and cardiovascular function.

Finally, I make sure to look after my gut health to ensure that I have regular bowel movements, increased assimilation of nutrients to ensure hight nutrient status to combat aging and high intake of antioxidants to reduce the aging impact of oxidants.

Supplements

I take FEED and REPAIR to enhance my microbiome and nutrient absorption and to enhance my nutrient and antioxidant status. CLEANSE to ensure daily detoxification of toxins, improved nutrient status from the organic green super foods as well as the stress and gut support from the mushrooms.

MULTI-TASKER to aid in brain health (nootropics) as well as reduce the impact stress has on my body while also supplying activated B-vitamins for energy and stress support.

I add in a fish oil to ensure I have a healthy omega 6-3 ratio as this will help manage inflammation.

Magnesium supports longevity by playing a vital role in over 300 biochemical reactions, including those related to energy production, DNA repair, and reducing chronic inflammation—key factors in slowing the aging process. It also helps regulate blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and muscle and nerve function, all of which contribute to reduced risk of age-related diseases.

Sleep

I try to go to sleep at the same time very night and get up at similar time every morning. I turn off any screens 30 minutes prior to sleep and take SLEEP 1/2 hour before bed. Poor sleep is linked to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and decreased immunity.
