Healthy aging and cognitive health

The role of supplementation in healthy aging and cognitive health

Healthy aging is a primary goal and the reason for Longevitas and many others. Maintaining optimal cognitive function is essential for a good quality of life in later life. Here are some facts:

• Surveys in several countries show that between 80% and 95% of older adults are concerned about their brain and cognitive health as they age.
• More than 80% of those surveyed by the Alzheimer's Association believe they can reduce their risk of cognitive decline by adopting healthy habits.
• More than 40% of older adults with cognitive impairment experience serious difficulties in their daily lives.
• A 2020 Nutrition Journal study found that 60% of people over 50 take supplements to improve or maintain their cognitive health.

Supplementation can play a crucial role in this process, providing specific nutrients that support brain health and cognitive function.

1. Omega-3: Brain Protection and Regeneration

Omega-3 fatty acids, especially DHA, in sufficient quantities and concentrations are essential for brain structure and function. These nutrients help protect brain cells, reducing inflammation and oxidative damage, improving memory and concentration, and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

2. Vitamin D : Cognitive and Emotional Health

Vitamin D is known for its role in bone health, but it is also vital for brain function: it improves mood, helps reduce the risk of depression, and supports cognitive function by participating in neuronal signaling and nerve cell protection.

3. Antioxidants: Defense Against Oxidative Stress

Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, ubuiquinol , considered the king of antioxidants, among others, are essential for combating oxidative stress, a key factor in brain aging by protecting brain cells by neutralizing free radicals that damage neurons. They also improve brain plasticity, helping to maintain learning and memory capacity.

4. Vitamin and Mineral Complexes:

B-Complex Vitamins : Help with energy production and neurotransmitter formation. They also support mental health and cognitive function.

Magnesium : In its optimally bioavailable forms such as Bisglycinate, it contributes to normal nerve function and improves sleep quality, essential for brain recovery.

Conclusion

Integrating specific supplements into your daily diet can be an effective strategy to support healthy aging and maintain optimal cognitive function.
