Top 5 Longevity Support Practices

Daily Longevity Tip: Top 5 Longevity Support Practices

Tip Summary: We highlight the top longevity tips, which include use of quality food, lean feeding, and usage of rapamycin.

Hey Dog Longevity friends! Every day we talk about longevity, but how often to we do a meta analysis of which tips are the most effective? As dogs age, systems create cascading failures, as core infrastructure (cells, organs, etc.) begin to decline from peak functionality. To support and prevent these interdependent systems from becoming imbalanced, I believe that stacking longevity interventions can be incredibly helpful. Let’s look at some of the top practices that we can stack together. I’ll cover the top solution tomorrow. 

Top 5 Longevity Support Solutions:

1. Tomorrow’s Topic

2. Rapamycin
   Potential Additional Lifespan: 25%
   Summary: Recent studies have shown that low-dose rapamycin therapy could extend the lifespan of mice by 25%, and similar promising results are emerging in dogs.

3. Quality Food (Homemade)

   Potential Additional Lifespan: 25%
   Summary: A study that finished in 2003 concluded that feeding dogs homemade food can increase lifespan by nearly 3 years.

4. Lean Feeding

   Potential Additional Lifespan: 15%
   Summary: A 14-year study found that by reducing 25% less food, we can increase our dog’s lifespan by up to 15%

5. Inflammation Reduction
   Potential Additional Lifespan: 10%
   Summary: Fisetin, a flavonoid found in fruits and vegetables, has been shown to eliminate senescent cells and reduce inflammation.

Implications for Longevity: By stacking these longevity practices together, we can amplify the effects, hopefully compounding the benefits together and keeping all internal processes running smoothly for many years longer than a normal lifespan.
