In order to promote longevity as well as quality longevity, it is crucial to pinpoint what is causing signs for concern early on, examine the laboratory biomarkers for aging on a regular basis, and adopt dietary and lifestyle choices that support increased longevity. This includes increasing vitamin D levels, improving blood sugar parameters with a lower fasting glucose and insulin, increasing metabolism and decreasing inflammation. Regular physical activity, managing stress, good quality sleep, as well as a nutritious diet composed of organically produced foods rather than processed foods also is essential. Furthermore, nurturing meaningful social contacts and community participation can contribute towards longevity and quality of life.
