Easy trick preserves longevity? (Don’t miss this!)

If I asked you (or your doctor) about the key to living a longer, healthier life…

What would you (or they) say?

A lot of different answers come to mind, even for me.

But recently, research is focused on a major longevity clue. One that will keep you upright and moving well into your 70s, 80s, and beyond.

Keep moving forward

I’m talking about mobility.

And how do you protect mobility? By fending off frailty.

See, becoming frail increases your risk of falls—the leading cause of injury-related death among adults 65 and older—and ultimately steals your quality of life as you age.

In fact, frailty puts you at a significantly higher risk of disability and losing your independence.

Of course, we’ve talked about many ways to maintain strength over the years. Like engaging in light resistance training and eating enough protein.

But research is adding another dietary secret into the mix…

Prebiotics.

The fuel you need

For a recent analysis, researchers looked at older adults who live independently (outside of a nursing home or long-term care facility) in 13 separate communities in China.

Participants were over 65 years and grouped based on levels of frailty: non-frail, pre-frail, and frail.

Researchers performed three studies: an observational study, a cross-sectional analysis, and a randomized controlled trial (RCT). And while they emphasized how movement is beneficial to fending off frailty, let’s skip to the exciting part…

For the RCT (the gold standard trial), researchers examined the impact of prebiotics versus a placebo for three months among pre-frail and frail subjects.

(Those in the prebiotics group were given 15 g of a 50:50 mix of inulin and oligofructose.)

Turns out, the prebiotic mixture reduced exhaustion and promoted an increase in body fat among pre-frail participants.

And for the frail group? The prebiotics improved walking speed and grip strength, two common frailty markers.

The researchers concluded: “This indicates that a prebiotic mixture can improve the muscle strength of patients with frailty and has a certain effect on alleviating frailty status.”

So, when it comes to fending off frailty, I encourage you to continue moving your body as often as possible and eating more protein. But this important research also emphasizes the importance of prebiotics.

Therefore, consider adding a daily probiotic supplement that includes prebiotics and postbiotics, like Dr. Ohirra’s, to your regimen. You can also enjoy prebiotic-rich foods as part of your balanced diet, like onions, leeks, garlic, asparagus, and artichokes.
