This is hard to put into a paragraph and not make members skip over it but there is so much info on this topic.
Opinion only but we age internally which shows on the outside. Glutathione is the mother of all antioxidants and supplements that increase this antioxidant are a bonus: NAC / SAME for example are good ones. Free radicals age us / antioxidants render these inert and as such, diets and supplements knows to render them useless are going to be a bonus.
There are endless antioxidants and so many to choose from it is hard to know which is best. I love ginger, nigella sativa, curcumin, Crocin, etc. Resveratrol is studied and is in most anti-aging forums but there is interesting info that follows the supplement. I am not stating this for fact but I have read papers that indicate people are healthier taking resveratrol but they lose a few years of live - makes no sense to me and I am regurgitating what I read. This is a forum on anti-aging which I take a lot with a grain of salt and make sure I do my own research:

If you focus on high quality antioxidants and anti-inflammatory products - you are doubling down and doing yourself a favour. Think of ginger and curcumin as an example - make sure you get enough piperine if you take curcumin.
Collagen both internally and externally can make you feel better (pain) and look better but oral collagen is contraversial. I am repeating myself but look up the building blocks of collagen like L-Proline, L-Lysine, Arginine, L-Glycine. I find the building blocks of collagen work better and I take them for my joints.
If you are willing to take peptides - epithalon is supposed to elongate your telomeres - they shrink as we age. 2 mg for 10 days is what I take twice a year. 2 bottles of 10 mg's is a 'run'. The link I attached covers this as well.
I don't notice a lot from copper peptide but if the info is accurate, it is a great supplement. I use to take too much and reduced it down to 2 mg per day, for 30 - 60 days. I buy the 20 mg/ml (I think 10 ML vial) which is 100 days worth. Would I be worried about taking it for 60-90 days, no but take zinc if you take the peptide. A quick google search will explain why. Many take 25 mg of zinc a day, I eat foods high in zinc but still take 10 mg a day.
I have a book on anti-aging and can look up what it says. It is old - probably 15 years and is called Prescriptions for Natural Cures and I believe there is a section on aging - I will look up if there is any additional info.
A friend on this forum pointed out some contradictions with ginger and aspirin so please go to reputable medical sites and read - I wouldn't take both at the same time.
I state this because aspirin truly is a magical little medication that does have negative side effects too. We are all adults but info is power so read up on the negatives and you can decide for yourself.
If I was worried - I would take ginger (incredibly powerful anti-inflammatory, protects organs, is full of antioxidants, etc.)
Aspirin is studies more because it is a drug sold by multiple companies - there are endless studies on it's ability to prevent a second heart attack and some evidence it can prevent a first. It has anti-platelet activity hence great for clots. You don't have to take it ED. There is a large 20 year study somewhere I posted with 1000's of doctors who took 325 mg every 4 days over 20 years and the results indicate less health issues related to the platelet issues we can have. Low dose enteric coated aspirin is meant to be taken ED but can be taken EOD. I swap - sometimes aspirin and sometimes ginger. You may find this interesting:

If inflammation is our enemy and cancer is of course too as are clots - how can aspirin not be good for you? The answer is the danger for ulcers, bleeding, and worst case scenario a perforation and septis. Albeit the odds of the latter is low - to think it can't happen is naive. Everything in moderation!
Kind of a ridiculous statement but a varied diet with food that meet your caloric needs, loaded in healthy fats, and clean (I try to get pesticide free - free range meat). Almonds, olive oil, the neighbour up the road has free range chickens and they live off the land and their eggs and meat is so much better than what you get a grocery store.
Like I said I could keep writing and put people to sleep with peptides, having a good hormonal balance, antioxidants, etc. but it is too long. If you wish to discuss further, we can go to PM or write here but I don't want to members to sleep.
Last comment to keep in mind - stress is a killer period. Learning to control stress is vital to a happy/healthy life. People who are happier and healthy 'in a perfect world' should live longer. Stress hormones are bad for the body. Albeit nothing like a prescription drug, if I am stressed from work, life, etc. I take a product that has 4 adaptogens that help control stress hormones. I deal well with stress but I have used it multiple times when life throws shit in your face. I like Natural Factors Serenity Formula.
