 Issue #67 I July 10, 2025  Photography by Hc Digital   Welcome to The Mindset by Super Age. Longevity might be a buzzword these days, but we’re here to remind you that increasing your healthspan isn’t about the latest supplement or biohack; it’s about caring for yourself in a way that brings you peace of mind, joy, and strength. Our longevity is shaped every day by what we eat, how we move, how we sleep, how we stress, and who we connect with. This week, we’re exploring fresh, science-backed reframes that could change how you age, plus how you can slow down the rush of time with simple, awe-inspiring practices.   Inflammaging is a word that’s cropping up in more and more longevity research, describing how the slow burn of chronic inflammation affects aging. But new research from Nature Aging reveals that inflammation, once seen as an inevitable part of aging, might be largely a product of modern, industrialized living, not biology written in stone. Researchers studying indigenous populations in the Amazon and Malaysia, found that chronic inflammation is virtually absent or very different in the indigenous populations. More strikingly, in those living traditional, indigenous lifestyles, inflammation doesn’t rise with age. What can we learn from these populations about aging without disease? We break down some actionable lifestyle shifts inspired by ancestral ways that you can start today to protect your body from inflammaging. 5 ways to decrease the likelihood of chronic inflammation →  You’ve heard “eat the rainbow,” but what about eating the whole ecosystem? A major new study including 8,000 people across nine European countries reveals that dietary biodiversity has a direct impact on your blood chemistry, supporting mood, metabolism, and healthspan. The researchers identified the polyphenols, metabolites, and fatty acids that truly nourish your body for the long haul. Here’s how to boost biodiversity on your plate without complicating your life.  Sponsor Spotlight: Pendulum  Protect Your Gut Barrier And Fire Up Your Metabolism. Your gut lining is your body’s frontline defender, stopping toxins and unwanted substances before they can cause harm. But stress, diet, antibiotics, and aging can weaken this barrier, letting toxins slip through, and tanking your metabolism. Pendulum Akkermansia is the first probiotic on the market featuring live Akkermansia muciniphila, a breakthrough bacterial strain shown to fortify the gut barrier, reduce permeability, and support balanced digestion, while also curbing food cravings. With 100 million active units per dose, it replenishes this essential strain that naturally declines with age. Why does this matter?

Science shows there’s a real reason our perception of time accelerates with age. But the good news is, you can slow it down. A study in Trends in Neuroscience sheds light on the brain mechanisms behind this phenomenon. Novel experiences trigger dopamine release in the hippocampus, the brain’s memory hub, strengthening memory formation and making moments feel more vivid. Interestingly, there are two different types of novelty and they activate separate dopamine pathways, each affecting our memories (and sense of time) in a different way.   What if slowing your body’s aging process was as simple as sitting quietly? Cutting-edge research reveals that meditation may actually reshape your genes and brain to protect against cellular aging. A study published in Biomolecules compared long-term meditation practitioners with non-meditators and found it tamps down the genes that accelerate aging by disrupting cellular repair and increasing stress responses. They also found that long-term meditators hold on to more of the cognitive skills that typically decline with age. Plus, research reveals the ideal times to meditate for lasting benefits.
