Länger gesund leben: Was hilft wirklich? (2026)

The desire for a long and healthy life is as old as humanity itself. Crucial factors include not only genes and living conditions, but also lifestyle. With diets, superfoods, nutritional supplements, and tips for nutrition, exercise, and stress management, the health trend of longevity is already a multi-billion dollar market. The search for active ingredients that delay aging is in full swing. We'll clarify what is scientifically proven and what is merely wishful thinking with aging researcher Björn Schumacher from the Cluster of Excellence for Aging Research at the University of Cologne. The biologist investigates the mechanisms by which the aging body reacts to increasing genome damage and how cells and tissues can maintain their function – findings that open up new approaches to preventing age-related diseases such as dementia, osteoporosis, and type 2 diabetes. The discussion is moderated by science journalist Jens Schröder. #Aging #Health #Longevity
