Nutritional Support
Nutrition is one of the fundamental pillars for healthy aging. The saying "we are what we eat" becomes even more relevant when it comes to promoting longevity and preventing diseases. In the Healthy Longevity consultation, a fully personalized nutritional plan is created, tailored to each patient's needs, considering their lifestyle, health conditions, and goals.
A Personalized nutrition focuses on providing the body with the right nutrients to optimize metabolism, strengthen the immune system, and combat free radicals that accelerate cellular aging. Diets rich in antioxidants, high-quality proteins, fiber, vitamins, and minerals are essential for slowing the aging process, preventing chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, and maintaining mental health balance.
Through a comprehensive nutritional assessment, the patient receives guidance on selecting the best foods to provide energy, support proper body function, and preserve muscle mass, which is often affected as we age.
Physical Activity
Physical exercise is crucial for maintaining vitality and health at all stages of life. As we age, regular physical activity helps preserve muscle strength, bone density, and flexibility, while reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and other aging-related issues.
In the consultation for Healthy Longevity/Smart-Aging, a physical exercise plan is tailored to the patient's abilities and needs. Whether for someone who is already active or just starting, the focus is on ensuring that the type of exercise is sustainable and safe, providing real long-term health benefits.
Activities such as strength training, aerobic exercises and stretching are especially recommended to increase muscle mass, improve cardiovascular endurance, maintain flexibility, and support mental health. Physical exercise also stimulates the production of endorphins, helping to manage stress and improve mood.
Additionally, regular exercise helps combat sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), which is common with aging, and prevents the onset of degenerative diseases. Adapted physical activity is, therefore, one of the greatest allies of healthy longevity.
Dietary Supplementation
As we age, the body may become less efficient at absorbing certain essential nutrients. Even with a balanced diet, it often becomes necessary to rely on dietary supplements to ensure the body receives all the vitamins and minerals it needs to function optimally.
Na consulta de Longevidade Saudável, é feita uma avaliação detalhada do estado nutricional do paciente, e com base nos resultados, são recomendados suplementos específicos que podem incluir In the Healthy Longevity consultation, a detailed assessment of the patient's nutritional status is conducted, and based on the results, specific supplements are recommended, which may include, minerais, ómega-3, antioxidantes, colagénio, entre outros. Estes suplementos ajudam a prevenir deficiências nutricionais que possam acelerar o processo de envelhecimento ou causar desequilíbrios metabólicos.
Por exemplo, a vitamina D é essencial para a saúde óssea e a sua deficiência está relacionada com o aumento do risco de osteoporose, especialmente em idosos. O ómega-3 tem um papel crucial na saúde cardiovascular e na função cerebral. Já o colagénio pode ajudar a manter a elasticidade da pele e a saúde das articulações.
Cada paciente recebe uma recomendação personalizada, evitando o uso excessivo ou inadequado de suplementos, garantindo que apenas os nutrientes realmente necessários são adicionados à dieta.
Hormonal Modulation and Supplementation
Com o envelhecimento, é comum que os níveis hormonais, tanto em homens como em mulheres, diminuam significativamente, o que pode afetar a qualidade de vida. A suplementação hormonal controlada e monitorizada pode ser uma excelente ferramenta para restaurar o equilíbrio e combater os efeitos negativos da diminuição de hormonas como o estrogénio, a testosterona e a progesterona.
The Healthy Longevity/Smart-Aging inclui uma avaliação completa dos níveis hormonais do paciente, e, quando necessário, é recomendada a terapia de reposição hormonal (TRH) para ajudar a reverter sintomas como fadiga, perda de massa muscular, insónia, depressão, alterações na libido, entre outros sinais comuns da andropausa e menopausa.
Esta abordagem visa não apenas melhorar o bem-estar e a energia do dia a dia, mas também prevenir o aparecimento de doenças relacionadas com o declínio hormonal, como a osteoporose e doenças cardiovasculares. A TRH é sempre feita de forma personalizada e controlada por profissionais, garantindo a máxima segurança e eficácia.
Emotional Balance
O envelhecimento saudável requer, além de intervenções médicas e nutricionais, uma mudança consciente nos hábitos de vida. Pequenos ajustes no estilo de vida podem ter um impacto profundo na qualidade de vida, no seu equilíbrio emocional e na longevidade. Estes hábitos incluem:
- Redução do stress: o stress crónico é um dos grandes aceleradores do envelhecimento. Através de técnicas de gestão de stress, como meditação, mindfulness, ioga e atividades de lazer, o paciente aprende a controlar e minimizar os seus níveis de stress, promovendo o bem-estar mental e emocional.
- Melhoria da qualidade do sono: o sono reparador é essencial para a regeneração celular e o equilíbrio hormonal. Na consulta, são abordadas estratégias para melhorar a higiene do sono, garantindo um descanso profundo e revitalizante.
- Cessação tabágica e redução do consumo de álcool: o tabaco e o consumo excessivo de álcool são grandes inimigos da longevidade. A consulta de longevidade inclui orientação para reduzir ou eliminar estes hábitos, melhorando a saúde cardiovascular e prevenindo uma série de doenças.
- Estímulo cognitivo: manter o cérebro ativo é igualmente importante para o envelhecimento saudável. Estimular a mente com atividades como leitura, quebra-cabeças, aprendizagem de novas habilidades ou hobbies, ajuda a prevenir o declínio cognitivo e mantém a saúde mental em dia.
Fazer ajustes nos hábitos diários e adotar um estilo de vida equilibrado, com um enfoque no bem-estar físico e mental, é um dos pilares mais importantes para garantir uma longevidade saudável e plena
