Could three simple habits really slow aging? According to recent research, yes — and the results are striking. From reducing frailty to lowering cancer risk, these daily actions can dramatically improve how we age.
1. Get Moving: Exercise Builds Strength and Longevity
Regular movement isn’t just good for your mood — it’s medicine for your bones and muscles. The study referenced in the video found that consistent exercise was associated with a 10% lower rate of falls and a remarkable 39% reduction in frailty among older adults.
Maintaining muscle and bone mass through strength training, walking, or resistance exercise improves stability, metabolism, and vitality. Even a few minutes daily adds up. For safe, effective loading, try using our Better Bones Exercise Vest — designed specifically to help build bone density while keeping you mobile and balanced.
Try this: Add 10–15 minutes of gentle resistance training daily. Even light weights or bodyweight moves can improve strength and protect against frailty.

2. Boost Vitamin D for Stronger Bones and Immunity
Vitamin D is one of the most critical nutrients for longevity — supporting bones, immunity, and even cancer prevention. The video highlights that individuals with adequate vitamin D had significantly better outcomes in aging studies, including fewer infections and stronger physical performance.
Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium, maintain strong bones, and modulate immune function. But many adults — especially those over 50 — are deficient. Combine sensible sun exposure with a high-quality D3 supplement, and ensure your minerals (like magnesium and zinc) are balanced for best absorption.
Try pairing vitamin D with Alkalizing Minerals or Ionized Magnesium for optimal utilization and pH balance.
3. Optimize Omega-3 Fats — The Unsung Anti-Aging Nutrient
Perhaps the most eye-opening result in the research: participants with low omega-3 levels saw the greatest benefit from supplementation. Increasing omega-3 intake led to a stunning 61% reduction in invasive cancers and notable improvements in overall resilience.
Omega-3 fatty acids — especially EPA and DHA — help reduce inflammation, support brain and heart health, and may play a role in regulating cellular aging. Most people fall far below optimal levels, so testing your omega-3 index can guide your intake.
Sources include wild-caught salmon, sardines, flaxseed, chia, and algae-based omega-3s for plant-based eaters.
Putting It All Together
To truly slow aging, focus on these three essentials: move your body, balance your nutrients, and feed your cells healthy fats.
When combined with a colorful, whole-food, alkaline-leaning diet, these habits can help reduce inflammation, protect bones, and support longevity.
Need a simple way to boost your alkaline intake? Try Alkalini-C — a fully buffered vitamin C that supports collagen production, immune strength, and acid-base balance.
