Longevity

The global focus has shifted from simply living longer to maximizing “healthspan”—the amount and quality of our vibrant years. This quest for longevity increasingly bridges the gap between modern science and the wisdom of ancient chinese medicine, as people seek proactive ways to stay vital, resilient, and vibrant at any age.

Nourishing Life: The Art of Yang Sheng

Centuries before modern biohacking, the ancients developed Yang Sheng (養生), or “nourishing life” to attain longevity. This philosophy views health as a continuous practice of self-cultivation focused on:

The Three Treasures: Balancing the vital energies Jing (essence), Qi (vitality), and Shen (mind, spirit).
Acupuncture: Using meridians to unblock and optimize energy, cellular exchange, and reduce “inflammaging”—the chronic inflammation that accelerates cellular decay. This promotes systemic balance, a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Natural Alignment: Living in sync with seasonal cycles and circadian rhythms, like eating seasonally and aligning sleep with the sun.

Cellular Vitality: The Science of AVEA

The Swiss-based AVEA products blend rigorous scientific research with a holistic mission to enhance individual longevity, by targeting aging at the cellular level. Here’s why:

AVEA’s formulations, such as Vitality Bundle, are designed to address the “hallmarks of aging” like NAD+ depletion and oxidative stress, which is a modern way to preserve your jing or internal essence.
Their Collagen Activator, developed with ETH Zurich, uses the patented Colgevity™ blend to support the body’s natural collagen dynamics—aligned with traditional health philosophies that emphasize supporting intrinsic physiological processes.
More people are struggling with different types of inflammation. This is on one hand, due to free radicals in our environment, and on the other, due to higher stress-levels that aren’t met with equivalent amount of recuperation and down-time. AVEA’s Inflammaging Routine supports a healthy inflammatory response by relieving digestive issues and clearing out senescent cells that trigger inflammation in the body.

Your Daily Longevity Practice

Achieving a long, healthy life is built on simple, everyday actions:

Movement: Replace long, infrequent gym sessions with short bursts of activity (stretching, shaking, tapping your arms and legs, or brisk walking) every hour to augment your Qi, bringing focus and keeping metabolism active. AVEA’s Mobiliser supports joint health and flexibility, and eases post-exercise discomfort.
Nervous System Regulation: Practice 5-10 minutes of coherent breathing or journaling daily – ideally in the morning – to build emotional fitness, resilience, and purpose, and protect your Shen.
Circadian Hygiene: Imitate nature and follow the command of daylight to sleep and wake up. Avoid blue light an hour before bed and utilize AVEA Sereniser to regulate your natural sleep rhythm. This is especially important in winter, to safeguard your Jing.
Stable Blood Sugar: Focus on fiber-rich, whole foods and consider the AVEA Stabiliser to flatten post-meal glucose spikes. Eating and breathing are the basic building blocks for creating new Qi.

By blending the preventive mindset of ancient Chinese medicine and the targeted cellular support of AVEA, a long, happy, and healthy life becomes achievable.

Of course, be gentle with yourself. These routines take time to build and it is not required to do everything; having the mindset of self-care, an eagerness to optimize your health, and a certain level of non-guilt, step-by-step discipline goes a long way!
