5 PILLARS OF AGING PREVENTION
5 PILLARS OF AGING PREVENTION
After gathering the results of all exams and analyses, personalized recommendations will be made,
finvolved in preventing and delaying the onset of degenerative diseases,
through a balance of our body,
working on the 5 Fundamental Pillars
of Aging Prevention:
1. HORMONAL REPLACEMENT
2. FOOD SUPPLEMENTATION
3. NUTRITION
4. PHYSICAL EXERCISE
5. HEALTHY HABITS AND LIFESTYLE
It is through the synergy of these elements that we can increase our vitality, delay our aging and eventually extend our longevity.
HORMONAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY
During the aging process, it is necessary to maintain an adequate hormonal balance to optimize health and prevent disease.
Hormone replacement therapy changes the way we age, increasing quality of life, and should be started when the first symptoms appear, as long as there are no contraindications.
Based on the most recent and renowned scientific studies, the doctor will prescribe your personalized therapy.
With information from the clinical evaluation and exams, if necessary, a pharmaceutical compound will be personalized, taking into account the most appropriate type of hormone replacement and the route of administration.
HORMONAL CHANGES IN WOMEN
In women, there is an abrupt hormonal drop during menopause, which is why balanced hormonal compensation is even more imperative at this stage.
Warning signs for women
Inability to lose weight
Fatigue, insomnia and irritability
Mood changes
Change in sleep quality
Memory loss
Change in menstrual period pattern
Thin, saggy and dry skin
Change in libido
Weight loss
HORMONAL CHANGES IN MEN
Men do not have a true andropause as there is no abrupt cessation (pause) in the production of sexual hormones and, therefore, clinical manifestations are more progressive.
Testosterone plays a very important role, highlighting, in particular, its action on memory, concentration capacity, energy, libido, muscle mass and toning.
Upon confirmation of testosterone deficiency, a hematological, biochemical, cardiovascular, breast and prostate evaluation can be carried out before starting hormone replacement treatment.
FOOD SUPPLEMENTATION
As a consequence of the procedures currently used to increase agricultural production, to avoid pests, to increase the shelf life of food and to make it more palatable, we have been adulterating our foods which, currently, from a nutritional point of view, are very impoverished and they are rich in pesticides, heavy metals and hormones.
By replacing the levels of natural substances and elements, a biochemical rebalance will be stimulated, neutralizing the effects of different toxicants.
The eligibility of necessary supplements should not be done randomly, but rather by the doctor according to the clinical history, laboratory values and also the oxidative stress of each person.
Vitamins, Minerals, Trace elements, Anti-oxidants, Amino acids, Probiotics, Omegas
Enzymes, Coenzymes, Heavy metal chelators, Phytotherapeutics
With information from the clinical evaluation and exams, if necessary, the prescription of dietary supplements will be personalized with the active ingredients and doses duly adjusted for each patient.
FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION
When it comes to food, it matters not only what we eat, but also how, how much and when we eat!
Food is not seen as a diet, that is, it is not about starting a diet that has a beginning and an end, but rather promoting and instilling a sustainable eating style that lasts forever. It is a process that is naturally learned and integrated little by little.
It is therefore just as important to know what to eat (macronutrients, vitamins, minerals, trace elements, superfoods, etc.) as it is to know which foods and behaviors do not nourish us but, on the contrary, intoxicate, oxidize, inflame and age us.
With information from the clinical evaluation and exams, if necessary, You will be referred to our nutritionist, who will define an appropriate eating plan.
PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Aging is associated with a reduction in VO2 maximum, that is, the maximum capacity of an individual's body to transport and metabolize oxygen during physical exercise.
Regular resistance exercise increases VO2 maximum.
Higher levels of VO2 maximum are related to reduced mortality.
Several epidemiological studies carried out in recent years have observed the existence of a positive association between the practice of moderate physical activity and greater telomere length.
The same does not happen if the practice is unusual, of short duration, high intensity or at excessive levels.
The body responds to moderate physical exercise by increasing the level of activity of its antioxidant defense systems found in the muscles.
This makes it possible to maintain the oxidant-antioxidant balance during training and thus prevent premature aging.
With information from the clinical evaluation and exams, if necessary, you will be referred to our Personal Trainer, to determine your physical capacity and propose an appropriate training plan.
HEALTHY HABITS AND LIFESTYLES
Sleep
It is during sleep that the body performs the body's main restorative functions, such as tissue repair, muscle growth and protein synthesis.
During this moment, it is possible to replenish energy and regulate metabolism, essential factors for maintaining a healthy body and mind. Sleeping well is a habit that should be included in everyone's routine.
Sleeping well doesn't just consider the total hours of sleep. It's important to get good quality sleep, so you feel rested when you wake up. Having a regular bedtime is also an essential factor in creating good nighttime habits.
We have several diagnostic tools available to assess problems that may be related to sleep disorders and which will help one of our specialist doctors to recommend the most appropriate treatment:
Cardiorespiratory Sleep Study;
Sleep Changes Test - Laboratory analysis of Melatonin Biorhythm
HEALTHY HABITS AND LIFESTYLES
Smoking habits
Smoking seriously harms the health of people who smoke.
Quitting smoking is the best decision a smoker can make to improve their health and the health of those around them.
Quitting smoking reduces the risk of premature death.
People who stop smoking live on average 10 years longer compared to those who continue to smoke.
We have several methods at your disposal to help you stop smoking, with proven results. We warn that no existing method to stop smoking will work if there is no will.
We have a medical consultation available to monitor smoking cessation using pharmacological therapy.
We also have Relief therapy available through Soft-Laser, which consists of stimulating specific points on the ears, arms, face and hands. These points identified by acupuncture, in order to induce a physiological effect capable of transmitting responsiveness to withdrawal symptoms (anxiety, irritability, physical discomfort...), experienced during nicotine deprivation, through the release of endorphins.
HEALTHY HABITS AND LIFESTYLES
Stress management
The World Health Organization (WHO) classified stress as the "health epidemic of the 21st century", affecting more and more people globally and constituting an inescapable reality in today's world.
The stress response is a normal reaction to the demands of life, and some degree of stress can be productive and motivating. However, it is important to ensure effective stress management in order to maintain good health and quality of life.
If you suffer from constant stress, we strongly recommend that you slow down and take preventive measures.
Stress can be quantified through laboratory analysis. STRESS ASSESSMENT TEST – Cortisol and DHEA-S levels.
This test will help our doctors to obtain a correct diagnosis and recommend the best way to correct this problem, which is often neglected, but which is the basis for a deterioration in the general state of health.
