저는 환자의 수명 연장을 돕는 정밀 의학 의사입니다. 제가 매일 복용하는 6가지 보충제는 다음과 같습니다.

 

플로렌스 코미테 박사는 환자가 최대한 오래 살 수 있도록 돕는 개인 맞춤형 의학을 전문으로 합니다.

그녀는 자신이 매일 섭취하는 6가지 보충제를 공유했습니다.

여기에는 다크 초콜릿, 아스피린, 메틸화된 비타민 B군, 비타민 D가 포함됩니다.

한 정밀 의학 의사가 장수에 도움이 되길 바라며 매일 복용하는 6가지 보충제를 공유했습니다.

전문가들은 일반적으로 음식에서 영양소를 섭취하는 것이 가장 좋다는 데 동의하며, 결핍이 없는데 보충제를 복용하는 것이 실제로 건강에 도움이 되는지 아니면 오줌만 더 비싸게 만드는지에 대해서는 아직 의견이 분분합니다. 하지만 장수에 관심이 있는 많은 사람들이 보충제가 도움이 될 것이라는 기대감으로 보충제를 복용하고 있습니다.

예를 들어, 기술 기업 임원이자 바이오 해커인 브라이언 존슨은 스페르미딘과 리튬 등 하루에 100알 이상의 보충제를 복용하고, 장수 의사 피터 아티아는 비타민 D와 마그네슘을 섭취합니다.

내분비학자이자 뉴욕에 본사를 둔 코미테 정밀 의학 및 건강 센터의 설립자인 플로렌스 코미테 박사도 마찬가지로 건강 수명을 늘리기 위해 매일 보충제를 복용하고 있습니다.

그녀가 매일 섭취하는 6가지 보충제에 대해 알아보세요.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps the body to absorb calcium, which is important for maintaining strong bones and decreasing inflammation. Low levels of vitamin D have been associated with a range of health problems, such as depression and a higher risk of developing cancer.

Comite said that many of her patients come in with very low vitamin D levels, just like 35% of adults in the US who are deficient, according to Cleveland Clinic.

She takes it alongside fat-soluble food such as salmon or eggs to help the body absorb it.

Aspirin

Comite takes aspirin because it’s associated with lower colorectal cancer risk and a reduction in inflammation in the body.

It’s worth noting, though, that the American Heart Association doesn’t recommend people take aspirin daily unless they’ve had a stroke or heart attack, because aspirin thins the blood and can increase the risk of stomach bleeding.

Methylated B vitamins

There are eight B vitamins, and they all have essential roles in metabolism. Vitamin B deficiencies can lead to symptoms such as anemia and an irregular heart rate, as well as cognitive impairment and an increased risk of depression.

Comite has a gene that means her body doesn’t metabolize B vitamins well, so she takes methylated vitamins, which are easier to absorb.

DHEA

Comite takes Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) for libido and bone health.

The body naturally produces DHEA, but the amount decreases with age, and low levels of the hormone have been associated with osteoporosis, heart disease, memory loss, and breast cancer, according to Mount Sinai. So, some researchers think that maintaining DHEA levels could have an antiaging effect.

However, evidence links low DHEA levels with these issues but doesn’t prove that it causes them. Also, DHEA has side effects such including lowering levels of good cholesterol.

Protein powder

Comite prioritizes protein in her diet because “it's critical for maintaining muscle, and muscle helps metabolize sugar effectively.”

Muscle mass reduces with age, which research has linked to chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and an increased risk of heart disease.

To combat this, Comite does resistance training with weights twice a week and eats one gram of protein per kilogram of her body weight to maintain her muscle mass.

She starts every meal with a source of protein, such as nuts, cottage cheese, and yogurt, and adds protein powder to her breakfast smoothie every morning.

Dark chocolate

Comite counts dark chocolate as a supplement because of the antioxidants it contains, which have been linked to lower cholesterol and blood pressure levels, reduced heart disease risk, and reduced inflammation, which is associated with cancer and chronic disease.

Comite recommends dark chocolate with 70 to 90% cocoa content since it has far less sugar than milk and white chocolate.
