As key allies against free radicals—substances responsible for the body’s premature aging—antioxidants and anti-aging supplements help you stay in shape longer. As we age, the skin withers and loses its elasticity. Hair loses its luster and becomes brittle, just as nails develop ridges. These are the outward signs of a deficiency in trace minerals and nutrients. The aging of skin cells is also a contributing factor. Cells struggle to regenerate, while collagen and elastin production slows down. Wrinkles then become more pronounced. To prevent the effects of aging, many options are now available to women—and men as well. Anti-aging dietary supplements are valuable allies in slowing down the aging process.
Anti-aging dietary supplements fall into three main categories. Before choosing one, it’s important to identify your specific needs and consult a doctor or pharmacist. Certain vitamins are contraindicated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. They may also be incompatible with antibiotic or anticoagulant treatments.
Antioxidants are the best known. Several vitamins have antioxidant properties. This is the case for vitamins A, C, and E, which are found in many foods and certain plants. They are extracted from these sources to make dietary supplements, where they are present in higher concentrations. In addition to vitamins, beta-carotene, selenium, and zinc are also commonly used antioxidants in these products. They help combat free radicals that oxidize the skin and contribute to the formation of wrinkles.
The WHO (World Health Organization) states that resveratrol reduces cardiovascular risk by 40% thanks to its antithrombotic and cholesterol-lowering effects, which promote the dilation of arteries. Its powerful antioxidant action prevents the development of atherosclerosis. A key factor in protecting blood vessels is that resveratrol specifically prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol in the blood and thus its deposition in the vascular wall. This phenomenon is believed to be responsible for a whole series of harmful reactions in the blood vessels. The brain, with its high fat content, is also at risk from excessive oxidative stress—which is believed to be the main factor in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
The body contains polyunsaturated fatty acids that help maintain the skin, brain membranes, and nerve cells. The body synthesizes most of them, but omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids must be obtained through the diet, particularly from fatty fish. People who eat very little fish can supplement their diet with omega-3 DHA supplements. These are very beneficial for memory and all cognitive functions.
The third category of anti-aging dietary supplements targets the skin. As we age, the skin becomes dry and dehydrated. It also loses its radiance. To counteract this, borage oil and evening primrose oil are invaluable. These two oils are the only ones that contain linolenic acid, which is derived from essential fatty acids. They promote skin cell regeneration, restructure the epidermis, and revitalize it.
The leading cause of cancer-related death among women: breast cancer is also the most common cancer in France
Extremely rare in men (1% of cases), breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in France, most often around the age of 60. Although its incidence nearly doubled between 1990 and 2018, rising from 29,970 to 58,400 cases per year, breast cancer treatments are improving, and the number of deaths declined by 1.6% per year between 2010 and 2018.
A review of the scientific literature conducted by a research team at the University of Nicosia (Cyprus) and published in May 2021 highlights the role of alterations in the breast and gut microbiota in the development of breast cancer. The researchers point to studies that have shown differences in the composition of the breast microbiome between healthy individuals and those with breast cancer. In particular, the higher abundance of bacteria such as Lactococcus spp. in the breast tissue of healthy women may indicate their protective effects against breast cancer. Furthermore, a link has been observed between gut microbiota dysbiosis and breast cancer: it appears that certain gut bacteria alter the production of beneficial metabolites and disrupt estrogen metabolism in the gut. Further studies are underway to identify the bacteria most involved in these mechanisms.
