Now that humans are entering the age of longevity, what factors can activate anti-aging repair genes?

Harsh environments. This is also more accurate. MIT scholars have found that the human body activates this set of anti-aging repair genes in the cold, activating brown fat in the back and shoulders—a state typically seen in infants.

If cold works, what about heat?

We don't see activation of this gene in people who live in tropical regions for long periods, but brief periods of heat, such as saunas, seem to help.

A study of more than 2,300 middle-aged men in Finland found that those who steamed in a sauna seven times a week had halved risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and death rates compared to those who took only one hot shower a week.

Despite the health benefits, the reasons for this are not clear.

Still, the environment is something that is largely beyond our control, and there is a more controllable way to do it: moderate to high-intensity exercise.

It has been proven that the transient hypoxia brought about by moderate to high-intensity exercise triggers activation of this set of repair genes at the cellular level, from the skin to the bones and muscles to the organs, to achieve comprehensive anti-aging.

If you want to switch on anti-aging, you have to get slightly hungry and cold, and expose your body to controlled stressors from time to time. When your cells are too comfortable, they don't have the will to fight, and they don't try to repair themselves.

One of the most researched and reliable scientific methods is light fasting, and when you add exercise, the results are even better.

Here's a little action for you today: if you're able, try light fasting by eating today's meals within 8 hours.

In conclusion, aging has been formally defined as a disease that can be treated and managed; it is not an inevitable process that precedes death.

The most important switch for the human body to fight aging is light fasting. Light fasting has three stages: one, fasting lasts more than 16 hours (including sleep time); two, limit the day's intake of total calories in the 500-800 kcal, a balanced diet; three, long-term light fasting one day a week can not be more than three days, easy to affect the adverse effects of the 3. Cold, high-intensity exercise, so that the body's internal and external environments are in the adversity of the body from time to time, but also activate the body of this set of repair genes of anti-aging.
