Dr. Tamsin Lewis, a longevity specialist, told the Independent : "The more muscle you have, the better your ability to resist aging."

In addition to maintaining muscle mass through exercise, which contributes to strength, this expert also recommends incorporating low-intensity cardiovascular exercises such as brisk walking, cycling, or sprinting to improve cardiovascular performance.

These two activities are "two of the strongest predictors of longevity," according to Dr. Tamsin Lewis.

4 habits that help you lose weight quickly.

Control blood sugar and insulin levels.

Dr. Tamsin Lewis also stated: "Metabolic disorders accelerate aging, therefore, maintaining stable glucose levels and high insulin sensitivity is paramount."

This expert advises that we need to plan healthy eating habits to help control blood sugar and insulin levels. Specifically, eating at regular times, exercising after meals (including a 10-minute brisk walk), and a diet low in processed foods are all beneficial.

Tamsin Lewis also emphasized that before using other supplements, we must address the basics such as getting enough sleep, exercising, and prioritizing protein.

Strengthening social connections

Numerous studies have highlighted the importance of social connection for both physical and mental health. Improving social connections can improve depression and anxiety, reduce stress levels, and increase feelings of well-being.

Dr. Mohammed Enayat, a general practitioner and founder of HUM2N, a London-based longevity clinic, told the Independent : "If you look at the evidence from 'green zones' around the world (where people are thought to live longer than average), it has shown that social connections are a major driver of longevity."

This expert advises building and maintaining social relationships, participating in community activities, and nurturing relationships with family and friends to promote overall health and longevity.

Eat more plant-based foods.

To improve longevity, addressing issues such as inflammation in the body and oxidative stress is crucial.

Dr. Mohammed Enayat stated: "Many plant-based foods contain various polyphenols and bioflavonoid nutrients with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties."

Even plant-based foods can help improve gut health by nourishing beneficial bacteria, and "gut health is crucial for improving overall health and longevity," according to Dr. Mohammed Enayat.
