Scientific research shows that an adult body has about 30 trillion cells, which require the intake of nutrients to support their normal functioning. Grounded in functional medicine and cellular nutrition, IWLA encourages individuals to cultivate healthy dietary habit while rationally consuming dietary supplements. By ensuring balanced and adequate intake of high-quality nutrients, such a scientific approach can improve cellular function and vitality and lead to overall health and longevity.
1. High-quality nutrients are the cornerstone of health and longevity. Their functions include:
1) Ensure normal cell function: The tens of trillions of cells in the human body require the intake of macronutrients (fats, proteins, and carbohydrates), micronutrients (vitamins, minerals and other trace compounds) and water to detoxify harmful compounds, neutralize free radicals, facilitate communication between cells, and respond to the body's needs.
2) Anti-aging effect: Certain high-quality nutrients, such as antioxidant vitamins (such as vitamins C and E), β-carotene, selenium, etc., can scavenge free radicals in the body, resist oxidative stress, delay the aging process of cells, help to improve body’s vitality, and extends the span of a healthy life.
3) Immune regulation: Nutrients such as protein, zinc, and vitamin D are crucial to the construction and function of the immune system. Adequate intake can help enhance immunity, resist disease attacks, and provide a solid defense barrier for health and longevity.
4) Prevent chronic diseases: Dietary fiber helps reduce blood lipids and blood sugar, and prevent cardiovascular diseases; calcium and vitamin D help maintain bone health and prevent osteoporosis; Omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health. Reasonable intake of these nutrients can help effectively prevent chronic diseases and enhance the quality of life.
2. Healthy diet is the carrier and catalyst of nutrients needed by the human body
IWLA advocates the public to integrate the knowledge of functional medicine and cellular nutrition into their daily dietary decisions. We aim to help individuals to intake sufficient and balanced nutrients while enjoying delicious food, making every meal a feast that nourishes life and promotes health and longevity.
1) Nutritional balance: Food diversity and its scientific combination can ensure the body obtains necessary macronutrients (such as protein, fats, and carbohydrates) and micronutrients (such as vitamins, minerals). Such a comprehensive nutritional supply helps maintain physiological functions, prevent various nutritional deficiencies, and lay the foundation for health and longevity.
2) Food quality: The intake of high-quality nutrients depends on the freshness and naturalness of foods, especially those rich in natural antioxidants, dietary fiber and other beneficial ingredients. Additionally, scientific methods of food processing can maximize the retention of nutrients and reduce the production of harmful substances, thus improving the nutritional value of food.
3) Healthy dietary habits: Moderate food consumption, chewing slowly, and intaking regular and quantitative meals can help full digestion and absorption of nutrients while avoiding the metabolic burden caused by excessive intake. These positive dietary habits are important for maintaining gastrointestinal health and preventing chronic diseases has a positive effect.
3. Dietary supplements
In recent decades, a rapid increase of attention has been paid to the significance of dietary supplements, which mainly include vitamins, minerals and plant extracts.
1) Dietary supplements can make up for nutritional deficiencies caused by dietary deficiencies. The fast pace of life and unhealthy dietary habits in modern society have resulted in many people lacking important nutrients. Dietary supplements can help people replenish these nutrients, thereby improving their health and slowing down the aging process.
2) Some studies have shown that appropriate dietary supplements can play a role in the prevention and treatment of certain chronic diseases. For example, vitamin D and calcium have certain effects on the prevention of osteoporosis, and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E can help reduce the damage to cells caused by oxidative stress, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
3) Cutting-edge research in cell nutrition nutrients have focused on nutrients for enhancing cell vitality, including PQQ, MOS, NR, NAD3, Niagen, Co-Q10, etc. These dietary supplements promote cells’ growth, development, repair, activation, regeneration and protection. Among them, PQQ and MOS shows great effect in optimizing mitochondria inside cells (mitochondria function as the powerhouse of the cell).
We emphasize that dietary supplements are not a panacea, and excessive use or even abuse of dietary supplements may have negative effects on health. Some studies have found that excessive intake of antioxidants may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. In addition, certain dietary supplements raise quality and safety concerns, some even contain harmful substances or undesirable adulterated ingredients, posing potential threats to health. IWLA aim to identify top-quality dietary supplements, and guide people to prudently use dietary supplements on a scientific and individualized basis.
In short, based primarily on research in cellular nutrition, IWLA advocates healthy diet and prudent intake of dietary supplements to promote an individual’s wellness and longevity by continuously delivery of high-quality nutrients to nurture the body.
