Food as a Superpower: How Nutrition Tunes Your Genes, Telomeres & Longevity Pathways Your daily plate is more than calories—it’s a control panel for cellular pathways like mTOR , AMPK , and sirtuins , and it helps protect chromosome end‑caps called telomeres . Use this guide to turn the right knobs. Quick nav TL;DR Genes & pathways (simple) What telomeres do Foods that help (and hurt) Cooking that preserves nutrients One‑day template Cheat‑sheet table Daily checklist 1‑minute self‑check Story mode (original analogies) DNA skyscraper analogy FAQ TL;DR Sirtuins / AMPK like: polyphenol‑rich plants, fish/olive oil, fiber, movement, time‑restricted eating. mTOR builds & repairs muscle; spike it with quality protein, then let it come down (not all day high).
