The three key lifestyle changes that can promote better health and longevity include eliminating refined sugar, practicing time-restricted eating and tripling vegetable consumption to make a micronutrient smoothie. Taking vitamin D supplements can also help regulate five percent of the human genome and reduce all-cause mortality.
The speaker suggests three simple lifestyle changes for better health - remove refined sugar, implement time-restricted eating preferably earlier in the day, and consume triple the amount of vegetables on a daily basis by creating a micronutrient smoothie which includes fiber.
Micronutrients like magnesium, vitamin K, and calcium are essential for metabolic pathways that are important for both short-term survival and long-term health. However, micronutrient deficiencies are very common in the United States and can affect the body's ability to adequately perform essential processes, including those that mitigate aging. The triage theory proposes that the body prioritizes micronutrients for metabolic processes that are necessary for short-term survival, leaving those that are important for long-term health at risk.
Micronutrients such as zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D are essential for optimal health. Zinc is important for the immune system, magnesium is needed for over 300 enzymes in the body, and vitamin D affects around 5% of the human genome.
