🍏 Nutrition plays a vital role in aging, impacting health throughout life. Research shows that intermittent fasting, calorie restriction, and lower protein intake promote healthy longevity and prevent chronic conditions. While the exact nutrient composition to extend lifespan is debated, personalized nutrition—tailored to age, sex, genes, lifestyle, and metabolic status—can optimize health. A 2020 review highlights the potential of personalized nutrition to improve the quality of life in older adults. 🧬 Technologies analyzing omics (genomics, epigenomics, metabolomics, microbiomics) are key to providing tailored, evidence-based recommendations. Current tools like biomarker testing, epigenetics, and telomere testing help deliver personalized care. 📊 A 2022 study found diets rich in whole grains, legumes, fish, fruits, vegetables, and nuts—and low in red meat, processed foods, and sugar—could increase lifespan by 10+ years. Additionally, diets high in polyphenols (like those in Blue Zones and the Mediterranean diet) slow aging and reduce age-related diseases.
