Experts emphasized the critical role of natural diets, gut health, and balanced nutrition in promoting longevity and healthy ageing during an interactive session titled ‘The Longevity Blueprint – Gut Health and InflammAgeing’ held on Tuesday.
Organized by the Illness to Wellness Foundation in collaboration with the Celiac Society of India, the session brought together specialists from geriatrics, psychiatry, nutrition, integrated medicine, and Ayurveda to address the rising link between gut health, chronic inflammation, and ageing.
Highlighting the concept of ‘inflammageing,’ experts discussed how persistent low-grade inflammation accelerates ageing and contributes to various health conditions. They underscored the need for mindful eating and practical lifestyle changes, such as incorporating fibre-rich and fermented foods into diets and practicing periodic fasting, to enhance gut health and support healthier ageing.
