Did you know that men die an average of 6 years earlier than women? Some people blame the gender life expectancy gap on men being involved with more hazardous work, having fewer doctor visits, smoking more, or consuming more alcohol.
Men often experience more heart attacks and strokes than their female counterparts. Autoimmune diseases are more common in women, but they don’t typically die from these conditions.
A specific longevity gene called FOXO3 plays a major role in your life expectancy. Women express this gene more than men because the gene is activated by estrogen. Fortunately, estrogen is not the only thing that activates your longevity genes!
FOXO3 helps prevent cancer and helps with gene repair. It’s a stress-resistant gene that allows you to adapt to your environment. Nature prioritizes reproduction and fertility, so women often express longevity genes more than men.
There are many ways to increase the FOXO3 gene to increase life expectancy for both men and women!
1. Consume phytonutrients (astaxanthin, sulforaphane, EGCG, resveratrol)
2. Cold and heat (cold baths or saunas)
3. Intermittent fasting
4. Ketones
5. Exercise
6. Prolonged fasting for 48 hours or more
7. Controlled oxidative stress (hypoxia training)
8. Sunlight
The following factors can decrease FOXO3 and shorten your life expectancy:
1. Too much insulin
2. Chronic inflammation
3. Chronic stress
4. Overfeeding
5. Sedentary lifestyle
6. Heavy metals (i.e., aluminum, mercury)
7. EMF
8. Endocrine disruptors
