Actively induce hormesis by exposing your body to mild adversities like exercise and skipping meals, as this triggers ancient survival mechanisms that protect against decay, disease, and aging.
Eat less often by skipping meals or snacks daily, as this boosts longevity genes and has been shown to lead to longer, healthier lives in animals, with the timing of eating being more important than what is eaten. Start by skipping one meal (dinner or breakfast) and gradually extend the fasting window as your body adapts.
Engage in high-intensity exercise that makes you lose your breath for about 10 minutes, a few times a week, as this is sufficient for long-term health benefits and helps reset muscle function.
Actively work to reduce chronic stress by reframing challenges, finding purpose, and consciously choosing excitement and gratitude for life, as prolonged stress negatively impacts the biological clock.
Lift weights to build and maintain large muscles in your legs, glutes, and back, which is crucial for preventing muscle loss with age and can help raise testosterone levels by signaling to the testes.
Ensure you walk and move regularly as a minimum to avoid future health problems, and consider using a standing desk to build leg, glute, and back muscles.
Consider taking NMN, a molecule that has been shown to boost the body’s ability to make new blood vessels and improve muscle oxygen measurement, enhancing exercise capacity, but it should not replace exercise.
Consider taking AG1 daily, a health drink that supports digestion and contains five strains of gut bacteria, which can enrich the gut microbiome and impact mental and physical well-being.
