Five Keys To Healthy Longevity
- Do the five keys: avoid addictions, get 7–8 hours sleep, eat well and less, exercise 3–5 hours weekly, and cultivate happiness.
- These lifestyle actions reduce chronic disease risk by 70–80% and are the foundation of healthy aging.
Hallmarks Reveal Anti‑Aging Targets
- Aging has multiple hallmarks: DNA damage, epigenetic changes, telomere shortening, protein malfunction, nutrient-sensing failure, mitochondrial damage, and senescent cells.
- Targeting these pathways yields diverse anti-aging strategies from drugs to stem-cell reboots.
Repurposed Drugs And Stem Cell Reboots
- Existing drugs like metformin, rapamycin and senolytics target ageing pathways and show promise beyond diabetes.
- Rebooting stem cells with Yamanaka factors and small-molecule cocktails is an emerging reversal strategy.
