On 16 February, 2024 Dr Michael Greger joined our 6D Community for a wonderful discussion. We discussed his book How Not To Age and a bit more! We are grateful for his generosity and wisdom and we hope you will enjoy the interview.
"We all want to stay healthy as we age but, with so many different claims out there, it can be hard to know the best advice to follow. Dr Greger digs into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging research to deliver a complete and optimal guide to extend your lifespan and slow the adverse effects of aging.
Brimming with expertise, How Not To Age lays out practical strategies for living your longest, healthiest life - and for enjoying every moment of it. When Dr. Michael Greger, founder of NutritionFacts.org, dove into the top peer-reviewed anti-aging medical research, he realized that diet could regulate every one of the most promising strategies for combating the effects of aging.
We don't need Big Pharma to keep us feeling young―we already have the tools. In How Not to Age, the internationally renowned physician and nutritionist breaks down the science of aging and chronic illness and explains how to help avoid the diseases most commonly encountered in our journeys through life.
Physicians have long treated aging as a malady, but getting older does not have to mean getting sicker. There are eleven pathways for aging in our bodies' cells and we can disrupt each of them. Processes like autophagy, the upcycling of unusable junk, can be boosted with spermidine, a compound found in tempeh, mushrooms, and wheat germ. Senescent “zombie” cells that spew inflammation and are linked to many age-related diseases may be cleared in part with quercetin-rich foods like onions, apples, and kale. And we can combat effects of aging without breaking the bank. Why spend a small fortune on vitamin C and nicotinamide facial serums when you can make your own for up to 2,000 times cheaper?"
