F-Bomb Longevity Made Easy

Product Information

BEING exposed to very hot or very cold conditions is potentially life-threatening for the human body. YOU don’t need a full gym workout but get out of breath a few times a week. Stop using the lift and take the stairs. LOSS of muscle tissue leads to frailty and increased risk of falls and fractures. It also lowers the effectiveness of your immune system.

Incidentally, pets are very good for the gut microbiome too, because you’re exposed to extra bacteria.” Jones is an exceptionally good advert for everything she preaches. She weighs the same as she did in her twenties, having dropped a stone as a by-product of changing her habits, and hopes that next time she tries the longevity calculator (at apps.bluezones.com) she’ll get to 100.At her centre in Folkestone she uses an AI bike that will produce this effect in two 20-second bursts of cycling. “If you’re plodding away on a gym treadmill for 30 to 40 minutes, you’re not producing this effect. If you enjoy it, that’s great, but know that it’s not necessarily going to have any impact on when you’re going to be diagnosed with your first chronic disease.” Do the daily gratitude thing — but don’t stress about it The smart wellness programme in my Neuron book was turned into a virtual, on-demand programme being offered to workforces by leading corporate employers. You simply push an essential oil bottle into the base, switch it to the intensity and run-time you want, for up to 90 minutes. Jones offers an eight-week programme to embed the lifestyle changes she advocates; several thousand have completed it online, many as part of corporate sign-ups. Her GlycanAge score is 51, very close to her actual age of 52. Middle-aged women often have high scores, she says, because of the menopause (inflammation can increase due to the decline in oestrogen). It’s why she is desperate for women in their forties and fifties to get on top of their daily habits as early as possible. “Many women I test in their early fifties come out in their mid-sixties unless they’re on HRT, so as someone who is combating declining oestrogen I’m pretty happy with a score of 51.” Julia has been studying the effects of music and sound on behaviour and wellness for 30 years. The first book helped in boosting a surge of interest in this area and became a unique music-based wellness programme run at offices of some of the largest companies in the world.

Scientists have discovered pathways in our cells that help to suppress that inflammation and can slow the ageing process. The key players — or the ones we know about so far — associated with those pathways are the enzymes AMPK (adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase) and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), and sirtuins; proteins that play vital roles in cell repair and cell metabolism. “They’re like the house- keepers who help the epigenome maintain its function — cleaning the cells of waste products, and making sure there’s no damage,” Jones says. Frozen fruits and veg work as well as fresh, so buy different frozen products in bulk to keep costs down. 3. GET OUT OF BREATH Turn your shower to cold for a burst, go swimming outdoors or have a hot sauna. 9. DO DAILY PUSH-UPS

Oxytocin has a calming effect and can reduce feelings of fear, loneliness and anxiety and the underlying chronic release of harmful stress chemicals.” I’d love you to join me at the book launch if you’re in the London vicinity on Thursday 29th September .

Dr Jones said: “Just to give our system a rest, so try and leave 16 hours overnight, fasting, and then eat within an eight-hour period.LISTS help to declutter our minds and reduce stress. Just writing one produces changes in the brain, reducing levels of the stress hormone cortisol. B-Sync On s the first and only supplement designed by sleep science and pharmacological experts to ­support and improve your wake-up process Credit: B SYNC Why would someone who’s physically fit come out with such poor readings? “We’ve put so much emphasis on cardiovascular fitness in the past few decades,” Jones says. She was a sports and exercise scientist in the Nineties and helped to launch a chain of gyms, so advocated exactly that. “But fitness and wellness are not the same thing. You can be fit but not well, as measured by what state your cells are in.” A lot of research is now showing that we’re just eating too often, and we’re eating the wrong things obviously, but we’re eating too often.

As I mentioned earlier, my adoption of the simple, smart wellness habits in January 2020 extended my healthy life expectancy by 23 years in just 23 months.
