What if you could be fit, healthy and independent at 100? Isn’t this the ultimate wealth, owning a healthy body and mind? Today more people than ever before live healthily to 100. These people have a few things in common: distinguishing factors that explain why and how they are able to slow down aging and stay healthy for such incredible long times.
On Okinawa, a group of islands in Southern Japan, more people live to one hundred and beyond than anywhere else on our planet. Okinawans have the lowest risk worldwide of chronic diseases like heart disease, strokes, cancer and dementia. Part of their secrets of healthy aging are low levels of insulin and leptin. These two hormones determine lifespan and health-span in humans and throughout the animal kingdom. Hormones are natural substances which function as messengers to stimulate cells to heal, reproduce and rejuvenate. Youthful levels of sex hormones are found in elderly Okinawans with e.g. DHEA, oestrogen and testosterone levels being higher than in Americans of a similar age.
Leptin and its crucial role for human health were discovered about ten years ago. It controls your appetite, your fat storage and above all your health and lifespan. Leptin plays a key role in the biology of aging. Leptin and Insulin orchestrate all your other hormones. This means if Leptin and Insulin are out of balance, then all your other hormones are out of balance too. Our western culture promotes a way of eating and living that throws Leptin and Insulin out of balance, ultimately increasing our risk for chronic disease and shortening our lifespan.
You can probably instantly think of someone in your family or among your friends, who has Diabetes or is obese. That’s because these conditions are very very common in our society and they are all associated with elevated insulin levels or insulin resistance. And that is just the tip of the iceberg as there are many many more people with undiagnosed insulin resistance and as well with undiagnosed leptin resistance. Do you have a lot of body fat, especially belly fat or do you get the munchies at night after dinner? All these are signs for insulin and leptin resistance.
