Our goal has shifted from simply aiming for a long lifespan to striving for a long, high-quality healthspan; years we live in good health, doing the things we enjoy.
Unichem Manly Pharmacy is an integrative pharmacy. That means we provide a different approach to health than a regular pharmacy in that we focus on our patients and not just the medicines they take. It also means we don’t just think about fixing things when they’re broken; we like to keep things from breaking in the first place!
That’s why my attention was caught when I heard about the “triage theory” by Bruce Ames. It truly amazed me to find out just how important micronutrients are to our bodies! Our Western diet is often full of empty calories, with low nutritional value, meaning many of us lack essential vitamins and minerals. When we don’t get enough vitamins and minerals, our bodies can still survive, but they can’t work at their best. The nutrients we do have, get used for the most important survival tasks, which means there isn’t enough left over for the things that help us stay really healthy and live longer. Eating a Mediterranean diet full of green vegetables, nuts, fish, etc is a healthy way to get these vitamins and minerals into your body.
