Belarus' Centenarian 'Genetic Passport' Could Add 10-20 Years to Our Lives
Scientists in Belarus have developed a 'genetic passport' for centenarians, combining genetics and nutrition to extend life and reduce disease risk. The innovative project, involving over 600 elderly participants, including 200 over 90 years old, could add 10-20 years to our lifespans.
Dubbed 'nutrigenetics', this personalized approach to nutrition considers an individual's DNA to tailor dietary plans. In Belarus, this has been taken a step further with the creation of a 'genetic passport application' for centenarians. This comprehensive tool includes prevention of multifactor diseases and pharmacogenetics, which determines how an individual's body responds to medications and their combinations.
Belarusian centenarians have unique microbiological features. Some have a dominant bacterium called 'Akkermansia' that reduces the risk of inflammatory bowel diseases. Probiotics, prebiotics, and dietary modifications can further enhance these benefits, extending life and reducing disease risk.
The 'genetic passport renewal' for centenarians in Belarus demonstrates the power of combining genetics and a healthy lifestyle. While the scientists behind this innovation remain unnamed, their work could revolutionize preventive medicine and add decades to our lives.
