Biohacking & HealthSpan

People in the Blue Zones often live to be over 100 while keeping their good health. But what is their secret?

There 5 recognized Blue Zone regions located in different parts of our planet. But despite the long distance between these populations, there are some diet and lifestyle habits they all have in common.

In this post, we look at 6 dietary habits of people from the Blue Zones that are linked to a longer, healthier life.

Prebiotics are fiber compounds that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut microorganisms. Serving as food for gut bacteria, prebiotics promote microbiota diversity and a healthy microbiome.

In this post, we discuss the general mechanism of action of prebiotics and explain how benefits from prebiotic supplementation (whether with diet or supplements) can extend far beyond the digestive system.

We also explain the difference between prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, and how each plays its own part in supporting the health of a gut microbiome,

Caloric restriction is popular and one of the most well-researched approaches for wellbeing and longevity. But can you achieve caloric restriction without following a strict diet or cutting down portion sizes?

The answer is caloric restriction mimetics (CRM) - compounds that imitate calorie restriction effects without reducing long-term food intake.

In this post, we explain the mechanism of how calorie restriction can help lengthen the lifespan and what supplements offer compatible calorie restriction effects.

We also go over dietary and non-dietary interventions that are also being investigated as CRMs.
