Anti-Inflammatory
Lifestyle
Dr. Nicholas Perricone has spent decades researching the profound connection between nutrition, inflammation, and aging. His science-backed approach to health and longevity is built on the foundation of an anti-inflammatory lifestyle—a way of eating and living that helps slowaging, boost immunity, and promote radiant skin from the inside out.
A nutrient-dense diet rich in healthy fats, lean proteins, and antioxidant-packed fruits and vegetables can reduce cellular inflammation, the root cause of premature aging and disease. Dr. Perricone’s approach emphasizes wild salmon, leafy greens, nuts, berries, and turmeric, all of which help combat oxidative stress and maintain youthful energy.
Beyond food, hydration, mindful movement, stress reduction, and restorative sleep play key roles in enhancing skin health, brain function, and longevity. By following these core principles, you can restore vitality, improve cognitive performance, and achieve glowing skin at any age.
