Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era in which the human life expectancy has witnessed a substantial increase, the lack of a corresponding surge in healthy aging has emerged as a pivotal concern. The prevalence of an extended yet unhealthy lifespan represents one of the most critical challenges of the 21st century. However, emerging research indicates that by arresting the progression of aging-related ailments, it may be plausible to attenuate the phase of decline typically associated with the latter years of life, thereby prolonging the span of robust and vigorous living.
This shift underscores the urgent need to explore interventions that can foster healthier aging trajectories. Recent research has shed light on the profound impact of nutrition and active lifestyles, especially emphasizing the pivotal roles of diet, exercise, and physical activity. Several studies have highlighted the preventive and supportive effects of these lifestyle interventions, particularly in the context of chronic pathologies rooted in inflammation. Moreover, these lifestyle modifications have been associated with heightened autonomy and an improved quality of life, effectively mitigating the adversities of aging.
With a resolute focus on the intersection of nutrition and physical activity, this Special Issue of Nutrients seeks to provide a comprehensive platform for the presentation and discussion of contemporary scientific evidence elucidating the interplay between these two critical factors and their impact on healthy aging. We aim to explore the intricate relationship between dietary choices, exercise regimens, and their potential to foster a prolonged period of physical and mental well-being. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the mechanisms underlying the preventive and therapeutic roles of nutrition and physical activity in age-related chronic degenerative conditions, as well as their influence on severe forms of viral and autoimmune diseases.
It is our fervent belief that this collective exploration will pave the way for the development of tailored interventions, promoting a sustained state of wellness and vigor throughout the lifespan. We invite you to contribute your valuable insights and research findings to this imperative discourse.
Dr. Domingo J. Ramos-Campo
