Maintain a healthy lifestyle with Zenement

Have you ever heard about the "promoting beauty from within" concept? This trend has been on the rise for years. With this idea we refer to the clear impact that our diet has on our health, and therefore on our physical appearance (especially that of our skin, nails, and hair). From this concept nutricosmetics was born, which combines personal care with nutrition to help us improve our physical appearance in a healthy way. 

Antioxidants are substances that protect us against oxidation by free radicals, thereby preventing them from damaging our cells. It is very important to reinforce our natural antioxidant systems through diet, certain healthy habits or through supplementation. 

In our daily life we are continuously exposed to both exogenous and endogenous agents. These are internal or external harmful substances that promote free radical formation that damage our organism. To counter this threat, cells have developed antioxidants, mechanisms that prevent or delay this damage.

If you are just getting into the world of sport you may have heard that supplements can help you improve your physical performance but you may not quite understand which one is most suitable for you and your sporting routine. In this post we will try to shed some light on some of these common doubts.

The human body is exposed on a daily basis to internal toxins (free radicals or alcohol metabolites, among others) produced by the body itself and external toxins (heavy metals or pesticides) that damage our tissues.

Ageing is characterised by a progressive loss of cellular functions and causes our bodies to gradually deteriorate. It is the main cause of pathologies that frequently appear with age, such as type II diabetes, cardiovascular disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

The immune system is a complex network of cells, organs and tissues. It protects us from both internal and external threats (viruses, bacteria, fungi, cancer cells, etc.), it restores damaged tissues and maintains homeostasis (the ideal conditions for our body to be in balance and function properly despite changes).

Have you ever noticed that you have a lack of energy and/or that your energy levels are not allowing you to lead the lifestyle you want to lead?

Autumn is coming and many people are distressed when they comb their hair in the morning. Faced with the mirror, they see that their hair is falling out more than usual. If this is your case, don't be alarmed because it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a baldness symptom. According to dermatologists, we lose between 50 and 100 hairs every day throughout the year.

Pioneering researchers consider ageing to be a pathology that can be treated at a multimodal level. We highlight David Sinclair, prestigious Australian biologist and Harvard researcher and pioneer in the description of the genetic pathways that control ageing, who reaffirms that “There is no law that says we have to grow old”. 

Aging is just another stage of life that we should not be afraid of, since we can take actions against its signs by applying certain habits to our daily routine.

This post is focused on resveratrol and quercetin, two molecules with anti-ageing effects. They do not act as simple antioxidants, but their mechanism of action is based on the activation of SIRT1, a gene of the sirtuin family
