Aging is a fact of life. While there is no way to avoid it, we do have some control over our rate of aging and are able to manage our quality of life as we age.

When we integrate positive practices with regard to nutrition, movement, sleep and self-care, we engage in in “intentional aging”. and will better be able sustain and active healthy lifestyle well into our later years. Our finely tuned bodies thrive on balance and self-care. Balance and self-care require proactive engagement in order to stay ahead areas where we may be deficient.

The majority of Americans suffer from “accidental aging” and struggle to maintain good quality of life in middle-age and beyond.

A study published in Neurology found that a functionally nutritious diet increases total brain volume, potentially offsetting age-related brain shrinkage. The study established that people who eat a specific diet have bigger brains. Researchers found, after adjusting for age, sex, education, and physical activity, that a higher diet score was linked to larger total brain volume.

A series of six studies appearing in The Journal of Gerontology, found new correlations between a functional diet and healthy aging outcomes. The studies report on the positive relationship between a functional diet and physical and cognitive function, and the role of the diet in reducing inflammation.
