Why Longevity Foods (Not Just Supplements)?
Longevity isn’t a single pill. It’s consistent exposure to nutrient patterns that support resilience: fiber, polyphenols, quality protein, and smart timing. Food-first lowers risk and improves adherence.
Evidence-Aware Picks
- Spermidine foods: wheat germ, soy/tempeh, mushrooms, legumes.
- NAD+ support: exercise, sleep regularity, whole-food patterns; supplements remain debated.
- Protein pacing: 25–30 g per meal, spaced over the day to support muscle & metabolism.
- Polyphenols: extra-virgin olive oil, green tea, berries, dark greens.
- Fermented staples: yogurt/kefir, kimchi/sauerkraut (tolerance-dependent).
Safety & Practicality
- Food first, supplements second. If using supplements, prefer third-party tested.
- Check medication interactions and conditions with a clinician.
- Track KPIs: sleep quality, energy steadiness, training, digestion.
- Start with one change/week to reduce friction.
