It’s a Bug’s Life: offer love and take care of your microbiome

You have more bacteria about you - on your skin, in your gut and all the other nooks and crannies – than there are actual human cells in your body. More importantly they do stuff that matters. Whether that is for good, or evil depends on which bacteria are in your particular crowd. This matters for the critical aims we have in respect of longevity. The goal in its simplest terms is reduce inflammaging and prevent dementia, mainly Alzheimer’s Disease [AD]. But apart from the relationship between the mouth microbiome and AD the inflammation associated with a bad microbiome in the gut triggers AD, heart disease, atopic conditions such as asthma, eczema and rhinitis, irritable bowel, inflammatory bowel disease and is a contributing cause for obesity.

Exercise - The New You

Yes you have ‘January Good Intentions’ to do more exercise! But how do you put this into the overall context of keeping your biological age well below your actual years?

Well the simple answer is ‘just get moving’ but it needs to be well thought out to get the maximum benefit for the time and effort involved. Here are 5 things to think about.

1. Prioritise consistency and being energetic

The trouble with exercise is that it has to be a regular thing to be beneficial. So first, be consistent -  move in some way, every day of the week. Moving can be anything you like eg walking, swimming, cycling, roller skating, dancing, playing tennis, doing a yoga sequence or a quick body weight workout just to name a few options.
