Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the importance of diet and physical activity in promoting longevity has gained significant attention in scientific research. Understanding how these factors interplay to enhance lifespan and improve quality of life is crucial for addressing the global challenges posed by aging populations.
I am pleased to invite authors to contribute to a Special Issue of Nutrients entitled "The Role of Healthy Eating and Physical Activity in Longevity. This Special Issue explores the critical roles of healthy eating patterns and regular physical activity that promote longevity. The topic aligns impeccably with the journal's focus on nutrition and health, offering valuable insights into how diet and exercise can be optimized to extend life expectancy and improve overall well-being. The scope of this Special Issue includes but is not limited to, studies on nutritional strategies that promote healthy aging, the impact of physical activity on lifespan, the interaction between diet and exercise in aging, and the role of specific nutrients in longevity.
This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality research that elucidates how diet and physical activity contribute to a longer, healthier life. Submissions may include original research articles, reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
Suggested themes include:
- Nutritional interventions for healthy aging;
- Synergistic effects of diet and physical activity on longevity;
- Impact of specific nutrients on aging processes;
- Public health strategies focused on diet and physical activity to promote longevity.
The issue seeks to highlight both novel and established interventions that can be implemented to promote healthy aging across diverse populations. The research that bridges the gap between basic science and practical applications aims to provide exceeding recommendations for individuals and healthcare professionals.
