Eating for Longevity: Fuelling a Longer, Healthier Life

Food isn’t just fuel—it’s information for your cells.

What you eat each day has a profound impact on how you age. At the Marsden Centre, we use nutrition as one of the most powerful tools to support healthy aging, energy, and disease prevention.

Our approach to eating for longevity focuses on three key principles:

✅ 1. Prioritize Plant-Based Diversity

Colorful vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, legumes, and whole grains are rich in phytonutrients that reduce inflammation, improve gut health, and slow cellular aging.

• Eat a rainbow of plants each day

• Aim for 30+ plant types per week

• Include fiber-rich foods to support detoxification and microbiome balance

✅ 2. Balance Your Blood Sugar

Stable energy and reduced risk of chronic illness starts with meals that balance protein, fat, and fiber.

• Start the day with a protein-rich breakfast

• Avoid blood sugar spikes from refined carbs or excess sugar

• Add healthy fats like avocado, olive oil, nuts, and seeds to meals

✅ 3. Eat in Rhythm with Your Biology

When and how you eat matters too. Supporting your circadian rhythm and digestive system helps improve metabolism, hormone regulation, and repair.

• Avoid late-night eating

• Consider a gentle overnight fast (12–14 hours)

• Eat mindfully—pause, chew, and enjoy
