A medida que envejecemos, es importante asegurarnos de recibir la nutrición adecuada para mantenernos sanos y disfrutar de una vida plena.

Es inevitable, todos envejecemos. Es el curso natural de la vida. Mucha gente atribuye a los "buenos genes" la clave para envejecer con gracia.

Getting older is a part of life, and if you are like many people, there is a belief that genetics determines how well we age. But what if I were to tell you that our genes only contribute 10-20% of how we fare as we get older? The Danish Twin Study estimates that genes influence approximately 20% of a person’s longevity.

It seems that everywhere we turn, we hear about gut microbiota and its links to not only brain health and wellness but its effects on our cardiovascular system. “Gut microbiome” describes the vast microscopic environment that encompasses your gastrointestinal tract.

Carotid artery disease is when the two main carotid arteries that lead to the brain are blocked. When arterial occlusion occurs, it deprives the brain of oxygen.
