Longevity nutrition, explained
The macronutrient targets, micronutrient anchors and dietary signals that move biological age — translated for life in the UAE.
Nutrition is the highest-frequency lever in longevity medicine: you make 1,000+ food decisions a year, and each one nudges your inflammation, glucose, lipids and muscle mass. At Longevity Cliniq we focus on a small set of evidence-based anchors — adequate protein (1.6–2.2 g/kg), 30–50 g of fiber per day, an Omega-3 Index above 8%, and a steady intake of polyphenols from extra virgin olive oil, berries, nuts and green tea. We then test the biomarkers downstream so progress is measured, not guessed.

Starch that escapes digestion and feeds the gut microbiome like fiber.
Read articleMeal Sequencing
Eating vegetables and protein before carbohydrate blunts the glucose spike from the same meal.
Read articleSodium-to-Potassium Ratio
The balance between the two minerals predicts blood pressure better than sodium alone.
