The following general anti-aging measures, which essentially concern lifestyle, are considered to be generally accepted.
- Nutritional counseling – calorie-appropriate, balanced micronutrient* and fiber-rich mixed diet, low in saturated fat and rich in polyunsaturated fat; multiple fruits and vegetables daily – including recommendations on stimulant consumption of alcohol and correction of bad habits.
* Vital substances (micronutrients) include vitamins, minerals, trace elements, vital amino acids, vital fatty acids, etc.. - Individual vital substance supplementation (micronutrients) based on a vital substance analysis for primary and secondary prevention of diseases and for general reduction of oxidative stress.
- Acid-base balance – in the context of general anti-aging measures, acid-base therapy plays a special role, since the kidney from the age of 40 increasingly loses the ability to regulate in the event of an emerging acidosis (tissue overacidification) by excreting acid equivalents.
- Intestinal rehabilitation and symbiosis guidance – by means of symbiosis guidance – also called microbiological therapy – the balance in the intestine is restored and a healthy intestinal environment is built.
- Weight management – the goal is the age-appropriate normal weight – if necessary, weight reduction through calorie restriction, dinner cancelling – failure of the evening food intake – and a medically supervised nutrition program.
- Dinner Cancelling – skipping the evening meal – is said to be likely to slow aging processes.
- Smoking Cessation – Smoking is one of the major risk factors for aging.
- Physical activity and sports – endurance and coordination training helps maintain your vitality in old age.
- Regular rest and sleep – serve to regenerate your entire body.
- Stress management – active stress management strategies have a positive effect on your health.
- Cognitive training – psychohygienic measures make you more resistant to private and professional stress.
- Psychohygiene – the path to happiness leads through consumerism and mindfulness.
- Social contacts – the older you get, the more important it becomes to maintain social contacts.
- Avoidance of environmental noxious substances
