Inspired by the challenges of maintaining a healthy diet while traveling, the idea for Longevies was born out of necessity.
Often, quick snack options in stores are less than ideal. Tasty choices are filled with sugar and chemicals, leaving you hungry and guilty, while healthier options like protein bars are limited in ingredients and not enjoyable to eat.
Inspired by real-life experiences and a deep understanding of gut health, we created a delicious, convenient snack made from natural ingredients and free of unnecessary additives. We wanted a snack that would be as close to a meal replacement as possible, offering all essential nutrients and a satisfying sense of fullness.
Creating and producing such a product is a difficult challenge, but we are motivated by its meaningful purpose and necessity.
The idea for Longevies emerged during our travels, as we struggled to find healthy and tasty snack options. Frustrated by the lack of convenient and nutritious choices, we realized the need for a product that could bridge the gap between health and taste. This realization was the catalyst for a meticulous process of planning, research, and development to create something truly unique.
Longevity, defined as the combination of lifespan and healthspan, has become an increasingly important area of study in recent years. This shift is due to overwhelming and growing evidence of science’s ability to extend the human healthspan. More people are transitioning from thinking "That sounds interesting" to exclaiming “Oh my god, I can’t believe that science is really making this available!”. Many recent scientific studies have reaffirmed long-standing knowledge about the importance of sleep, physical activity, good nutrition, and other healthy habits.
While science has provided many insights, it has not always given us definitive answers. Some supplements once thought to aid longevity have later been found harmful. This teaches us the importance of ongoing research and caution in adopting new practices without solid evidence.
Recent studies have highlighted the importance of gut health, specifically our microbiome, which begins in our mouths. The modern world has introduced us to processed foods, genetically modified organisms, and various supplements, leading us to consume less of what our bodies naturally need. This shift has resulted in an increase in autoimmune diseases. The ingredients in Longevies are natural and necessary for our bodies. Humanity has been consuming them for a long time, making our guts well-adapted to them.
The World Health Organization recommends daily consumption of nuts, fruits/berries, and vegetables—all of which can be found in Longevies. Furthermore, research consistently highlights the critical role of gut health, proving that we need a diverse diet, much like the Okinawan people, who are among the longest-living populations and follow the principle that their plates should be as colorful as possible.
Our gut profoundly influences our overall health, affecting how we feel, our weight, disease development, immune system function, and ultimately our life's course. Here's a brief overview from our blog post, "The Importance and Science of Gut Health":
