为人母亲从来不是易事，但这无疑是世界上最神圣的工作。为了感谢您无私的付出，现在正是好好照顾自己（或是您敬爱的母亲！）的最佳时机。以下我们将分享快速恢复肌肤健康的专业秘诀！本文将深入探讨拥有健康光泽肌肤的科学方法。

 

 

静脉点滴疗法

静脉点滴（IV drips）能带来多重美容效益。这种疗法能直接将关键营养素输送至血液系统，大幅提升吸收效率。现代人普遍面临维他命缺乏问题，而日常生活压力更会加剧这种状况。营养不足常表现为肌肤暗沉、脱发、指甲脆弱等外在症状。传统护肤品如面霜、精华和洁面产品仅能提供表面暂时性改善，无法解决体内营养缺乏的根本问题。此外，许多口服维他命和补充剂不仅吸收率低，还可能刺激消化系统。相较之下，静脉点滴能确保营养素被高效吸收，真正实现「由内而外的美丽蜕变」。

静脉点滴的最大优势在于其即时效果，改善几乎立即可见。 24小时内就能观察到肌肤质地和光泽的显著提升，使肌肤更加水润饱满，同时获得排毒和修复所需的关键营养。相较于可能产生副作用且需要术后护理的填充剂和肉毒杆菌素等美容程序，静脉点滴疗法完全安全，除日常基础护理外几乎无需特别照护。这也是为什么许多演员会在重要活动前选择此疗法，而新娘们也特别青睐在婚礼前接受疗程，确保在大日子当天展现最佳状态。

 

静脉点滴对肌肤的潜在效益包括：

• 显著改善色素沉淀问题
• 深度滋养与修复受损肌肤
• 使肌肤触感更加细致光滑
• 赋予肌肤自然健康光泽
• 有效收缩粗大毛孔
• 预防暗疮形成并淡化痘印
• 延缓肌肤老化过程

 

关键营养素解析

均衡饮食始终是健康的基础。但针对性补充某些关键营养素能进一步优化肌肤状态。

• 胶原蛋白

作为维持肌肤紧致度的核心成分，胶原蛋白在40-50岁荷尔蒙水平下降导致皮肤弹性减弱时尤为重要。此外，胶原蛋白还能：维持软骨结构完整性，保护关节健康。以及作为构成骨骼的主要基质，帮助保持骨密度。

• 谷胱甘肽

这种由细胞自然产生的强效抗氧化剂，由谷氨酰胺、甘氨酸和半胱氨酸三种氨基酸组成。当肝脏因不良饮食或酒精摄取过量而承受氧化压力时，谷胱甘肽会被大量消耗，可能导致脂肪肝等问题。其浓度也会随年龄增长自然下降。提升谷胱甘肽水平能：增强身体抗氧化防御系统、强化肝脏解毒功能。

• 维他命C

作为强效抗氧化剂，维他命C能：预防紫外线导致的皮肤损伤、作为合成胶原蛋白的必要辅因子。而缺乏维他命C可能导致：皮肤粗糙干燥、毛发生长异常、伤口愈合迟缓、皱纹形成加剧。

一项针对56名患者的研究证实，连续8周补充含维他命A、C、E和前花青素的复方营养素，能安全有效地改善皮肤色素沉淀问题。

 

在这个特别的母亲节，何不将这项专业疗程纳入您的自我护理计划？或是将这份「光彩礼物」赠予您生命中最伟大的母亲，用最实际的方式表达您的感恩之情。

 

Deep Longevity is a leading provider of biomarkers of aging and longevity. Owned by Regent Pacific Group, their mission is to extend healthy productive longevity and increase human performance. They have now announced that they are adding LifeHub and LifeClinic to their growing network as a longevity medicine collaboration. The partnership will leverage Deep Longevity’s extensive range of AI-powered aging clocks with the integrative physicians at LifeClinic. Together, they will be exploring the effectiveness of longevity interventions including lifestyle choices and drug regimens.

Deep Longevity’s aging clocks are backed by scientific academic publications supporting its efficacy. In 2020, a review article summarizing the latest research in the field, concluded: “Overall, we expect deep learning, deep neural networks and generative approaches to be the next power tools in this timely and actively developing field.”[1]

As part of the partnership, LifeHub and LifeClinic medical professionals are being engaged in advanced research with Deep Longevity. Physicians will be trained in deep aging clocks to be able to interpret data and provide customized wellness journeys for their clients.

Based in Hong Kong, LifeHub and LifeClinic are one of the largest functional medicine-based medical wellness and medical clinic facilities in the region. By taking a science-based approach to health optimisation and longevity, they are able to address physiological imbalances that could stem from nutritional deficiencies or other factors like hormonal imbalances or the effects of environmental pollutants.

Hear why the leaders behind this collaboration are so excited:

“I am delighted that we will be able to use Deep Longevity’s most advanced aging clocks to assess and improve LifeHub and LifeClinic’s various youth extension products and services.” – Dr Jonathan Seah, Chairman of LifeHub and LifeClinic.

“The traditional approach to preventative medicine is focused on preventing disease by diagnosing the symptoms early or reducing the risks of disease. AI-guided longevity medicine goes much further than that by focusing on tracking the person’s rates of aging at many levels, on the identification of longevity bottlenecks, and on utilizing the latest advances in science and technology to slow down or potentially even reverse biological and psychological aging. We are very happy to have both LifeHub and LifeClinic join the rapidly growing network of our research and clinical partners focused on providing customers with extra years of productive and happy life.” – Dr Alex Zhavoronkov, Chief Longevity Officer of Deep Longevity Inc.

On the franchising potential of LifeHub and LifClinic: “You can walk in, get diagnosed and then work with the doctor to get the optimal IV drip, supplement regiment and diet. Keep coming back, getting tested and explore the ever-growing menu.” – Dr Alex Zhavoronkov, Chief Longevity Officer of Deep Longevity Inc.

Exosomes – tiny nanoparticles in our bodies – may offer a new path to curing and managing disease. While first discovered in the 1980’s, a new breakthrough method of studying exosomes using the Atomic Force Microscope, offers scientists the ability to comprehensively study these fragile but powerful particles. A new frontier in microbiology, Dr. Shivani Sharma and other nano scientists are just beginning to understand the important role of exosomes in our body. 

What is Plaquex?

Plaquex (phosphatidylcholine) is a natural substance from soy that has the ability to remove both fatty and hardened plaques from blood vessels. The Plaquex Formula was initially designed by doctors to dissolve fatty masses that can develop during traumatic surgeries. However, this function was then extended to treating plaques that have built up in our blood vessels over time and is now a therapy in anti-aging medicine. 

How Does Plaquex Help?

The presence of plaque is a key step in the process of atherosclerosis, which narrows the vessel’s diameter thus restricting blood flow, increasing blood pressure, and increasing the risk of future occlusion events like heart attacks and strokes. 

As Plaquex removes these plaques, it can restore blood flow, repair damage to blood vessel walls, improve blood lipid levels, and maximize oxygen and nutrient cell exchange. This dramatically restores vascular health for wide-spread internal and external anti-aging effects.

 

Plaquex restores vascular health in the following ways:

• Reducing Total Cholesterol

Total cholesterol measures all the cholesterol in all the lipoprotein particles. In a review of 15 clinical trials treatment with Plaquex reduced total cholesterol by 8.8 to 28.2%. [1,2]

• Reducing LDL Cholesterol

LDL, or “bad cholesterol”, is a significant predictor of atherosclerosis. In studies with 1160 patients, the mean reduction of LDL cholesterol was 31%.[3]

• Increasing HDL Cholesterol

Studies show that HDL Cholesterol, or “good cholesterol” was increased between 10-45%. Very low initial HDL levels had the biggest change while close to normal levels were hardly changed.[4] Improved HDL levels are protective against atherosclerosis.

• Reducing Lipid Peroxidation [5]

Lipid peroxidation is the metabolic process in which reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause the oxidative deterioration of lipids. This process damages cells and is involved in the development of atherosclerosis. In vivo and in vitro studies show a decrease in lipid peroxidation with Plaquex therapy.

Safety

Assessments indicate that Plaquex is well-tolerated at daily intakes of up to 18 grams[6]. However, there are some contraindications, such as those on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitor medications, which would be discussed with your healthcare professional prior to treatment. Side effects may include temporary lowering of blood pressure and associated lightheadedness.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+): a critical coenzyme found in every cell in your body and involved in hundreds of metabolic processes.

What is NAD+?

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in virtually every cell. Its function is to help catalyse reactions in the body and is heavily involved in cell regeneration, DNA repair, cell metabolism and the production of cellular energy. Unfortunately, this invaluable compound rapidly declines with age¹.

 

How does NAD+ Therapy help?

Emerging evidence suggests that higher NAD+ levels may slow or even reverse aspects of aging and age-related diseases, including obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and neurodegenerative conditions². This is because as NAD+ levels drop, the pathways that NAD+ operate become compromised leading to accelerated aging and a greater risk for developing a range of diseases. Numerous clinical trials have been published on NAD+ Therapy and it is typically very well-tolerated⁵. Side effects are rare and usually mild, such as flushing.

 

NAD+ Mechanisms:

1. May contribute to longer telomeres for anti-aging
2. Promotes DNA repair
3. Modulates immune-cell signaling
4. Improves mental clarity, focus and concentration
5. Boosts mood
6. Mitigates chemical stress inflammation
7. Activates sirtuins³
8. Supports energy production⁴

Aging is defined as “the process of getting old” and in humans, aging represents the accumulation of changes in a human being over time. These changes encompass physical, psychological, and social changes. With human’s increased life span, it is more and more pertinent to maintain good health to ensure optimal aging.

The world is increasingly recognizing the aging process as a disease by itself. WHO has recently implemented a definition for “aging related disease”, defined as those “caused by pathological processes which persistently lead to the loss of organism’s adaptation and progress in older ages”—in the latest version of the International Classification of Diseases, code  ICD-11.

Rather than calling it “anti-aging” medicine, our philosophy here at LifeClinic is based on preventative medicine to ensure optimal aging. We believe in optimizing the function of our body from the cellular and metabolic level to ensure that even during the process of aging, our cells maintain optimal energy and maintain minimal oxidative and toxic stress.

Here Are The Top 5 Components Of An Optimal-Aging Diet:

1. Anti-oxidants
2. Good clean proteins
3. Healthy fats
4. Good gut health
5. Caloric restriction

Antioxidants 

These are powerful compounds that inhibit oxidation stress caused by free radicals in our body that can damage our cells. Foods that are high in anti-oxidants include colorful fruits and vegetables. The colorful pigments in these foods contain various flavonoids, flavones, catechins, polyphenols, and phytoestrogens so the more colours you eat, the better range of different anti-oxidant compounds. Most fruits and vegetables contain carotenoids and flavonoids, which are powerful anti-oxidants, while dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale provide polyphenols and chlorophyll. Eat lots of bright, colorful vegetables every day, like tomatoes, carrots, purple cabbage, beetroot, orange and red capsicum, purple sweet potatoes etc.

Clean, Lean Proteins

Proteins are important in the form of amino acids for important enzymatic and cellular anabolic processes in the body, hence we need sufficient proteins for muscle building and to prevent visible signs of aging. Proteins are present in plants, such as chickpeas, beans, lentils and legumes, and in meat. Choose clean lean proteins like hormone-free chicken and turkey and deep-sea fish. Avoid conventionally raised poultry or farmed fish which are loaded with antibiotics and hormones.

Eat Healthy Fats

In a study done reported in the BMJ, people with the highest blood levels of omega 3 fatty acids were 18 percent to 21 percent less likely to experience unhealthy aging. Omega 3 fatty acids are important to reduce blood pressure, cardiovascular events and inflammation which are aging-related health issues.

Fatty acids help to maintain healthy cell membranes in our organs like the brain, liver and skin to maintain a beautiful complexion. Flax seed oil is a good addition to the diet as it contains all the essential fatty acids. Other essential fatty acids rich foods include avocados, walnuts, pumpkin seeds or even cold-water fish and seafood.

 Maintain Good Gut Health

A study done has found that microorganisms living in the gut may alter the aging process. Mice received transplanted gut microbes from old mice (24 months old) into young mice (6 weeks old) lacking gut microorganisms. After eight weeks, the young mice had increased intestinal growth and production of neurons in the brain, known as neurogenesis.

Maintaining good gut health can compensate and support an aging body through positive stimulation. Increase your intake of probiotics through supplementation or through fermented foods like yoghurt, kefir etc, which will help increase good bacteria in your gut. Short chain fatty acids like butyrate helps to maintain a healthy intestinal wall lining.

Caloric Restriction

Caloric restriction has recently gained momentum in the anti-aging world as it has been found to stimulate genes that improve longevity.  This relates to cutting off high caloric sugar laden foods and processed foods in your diet. Reducing high sugar foods and carbohydrates reduces your insulin levels and reduces glycation of your tissues, which is the usual cause of aging in the cells. Also regular intermittent fasting with caloric restriction helps our body enter into a protective and stress-resistant mode, triggering autophagy for the cleanup of old and damaged cells, and activating cellular rejuvenation and repair.
