“Happygenix Method” Promotes Healthy and Active Aging
Dr. Angelo Genova has introduced a groundbreaking method in Udine, Italy, aimed at ensuring healthy and active longevity for the population. The innovative approach, known as the “Happygenix method,” focuses on empowering individuals to maintain the highest levels of physical and mental well-being from a young age, ultimately combating the real disease of aging and its associated chronic pathologies.
Presented at a recent conference in Udine, the Happygenix method aims to bring about fundamental lifestyle changes that prioritize integrated medicine and holistic well-being. Dr. Genova emphasized the importance of adopting healthy lifestyle habits early on and maintaining them throughout life. The method is based on four pillars: mind (including stress reduction and cultivating healthy relationships), metabolism (enhancing functional nutrition), movement (balanced physical activity), and medicine (utilizing nutraceuticals and supplements when necessary).
The ultimate goal of the Happygenix method is to transform Udine into a “blue zone,” a designation for areas where residents consistently live longer, healthier, and more independent lives. To achieve this, the initiative involves collaboration with local business owners, public establishments, gyms, and sports associations to promote specific menus and monitor physical activity.
The conference “Super health as a life project,” sponsored by the Municipality of Udine, highlighted the significance of embracing healthy longevity as a life goal. Dr. Genova, along with other experts such as psychologist Dr. Lara Twenty-Seven and fitness manager Lorenzo Dri, emphasized the need for specific strategies to implement lifestyle changes and cultivate healthy habits from a young age.
The conference also addressed the demographic challenges facing Friuli Venezia Giulia, where 27% of the population is over 65. As the elderly population continues to grow, the importance of promoting healthy longevity and active aging becomes increasingly urgent. Mayor’s delegate Lorenzo Patti emphasized the significance of prioritizing psychophysical well-being and healthy lifestyles to ensure a healthy old age for the community.
The Happygenix method represents a significant step towards improving the quality of life for individuals over 50 and promoting healthy longevity across the region. As the population continues to age, initiatives like this will play a crucial role in ensuring that individuals can lead vibrant, independent, and healthy lives well into their later years.
