Longevity refers to how long you can live in a healthy state, void of chronic disease. The big 4 horsemen of chronic disease are Alzheimer’s Disease, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer. If you could take the guesswork out and know what your body needed in order to thrive so you could live your most optimal life for as long as possible, would you be up for that? Most people are complacent when it comes to their lifespan, or the length of years they live, regardless of their health. As we age, the mitochondria inside our cells, begin to weaken in strength and numbers. Remember, mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells and use the nutrients you bring in through your diet and supplementation to produce ATP, your body’s energy source. When they are not working well, your body isn’t working well. Our genes also have a lot to do with our longevity. You’re born with a deck of genes, but it’s how you live your life or the epigenetics, that influence how your genes are expressed. There are simple and complex things you can do to discover your longevity code- mitochondrial health and genetics are just 2 components.
