researchers at simon fraser university and at b.c. cancer have pinpointed specific physiological traits that they say, “can help people live longer, healthier lives.”
according to their recent study, published in geroscience, the healthiest, older adults live in a “sweet spot,” where more than 100 different physiological traits interact and that dynamic interaction makes them healthier than their counterparts.
key to living in the “sweet spot” is homeostasis, which is a collection of mechanisms that your body uses to maintain constancy in blood sugar levels, blood pressure and body temperature. the more consistent your body is, the healthier you are. deviations from optimal ranges of vitamin d, calcium, glucose and other factor lead to a higher risk of mortality.
angela brooks-wilson, a co-author of the report, joined a conversation that matters about what we now know about the “sweet spot” of health and how this knowledge may equip people to live longer and healthier.
