Maintaining proteostasis , or cellular protein balance, is one of the most powerful—and underappreciated—keys to promoting healthy aging. Throughout this series, we've explored how the progressive loss of control over protein folding, repair, and recycling affects systemic health, from brain to muscle. Today, we're taking a broader view: how can we design a comprehensive strategy to sustain proteostasis over time?

From Sevens' perspective, this involves not only identifying effective functional ingredients, but also integrating them into a broader approach to conscious living, active prevention, and science-based nutrition.

1. Protection against oxidative stress and inflammation

One of the greatest enemies of the cellular protein environment is oxidative stress , which modifies proteins and compromises their structure. To counteract it:

• Turmeric Sevens provides curcumin with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity. Studies have shown that this polyphenol can activate pathways such as Nrf2, key to cellular defense, and stimulate autophagy, helping to eliminate damaged proteins.

• Omega 3 Algas Sevens contains EPA and DHA, fatty acids that modulate systemic inflammation, improve membrane fluidity, and support mitochondrial function, promoting a cellular environment conducive to protein synthesis and renewal.

2. Essential cofactors for protein synthesis and stability

Proteins aren't built from amino acids alone. They require a favorable biochemical environment and key micronutrients to fold properly and remain functional.

• Sevens Multivitamins includes vitamins B6, B12, folic acid, zinc, and selenium. These vitamins and minerals are involved in amino acid synthesis, DNA methylation, cell repair, and the production of antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase.

• Magnesium Sevens supports more than 300 enzymatic reactions, including those involved in protein synthesis, energy balance, and cellular stress control.

3. Natural activation of autophagy and protein cleanup

The body has self-cleaning mechanisms—such as autophagy —to eliminate damaged or dysfunctional proteins. Its activation can be achieved naturally through:

• Lifestyle: intermittent fasting, regular exercise, stress management.

• Supplementation: Curcumin from Turmeric Sevens and magnesium have been shown to induce pathways such as AMPK and decrease mTOR activity, promoting autophagy.

4. Cognitive and neurometabolic support

Since the nervous system is especially vulnerable to loss of proteostasis, it is important to integrate specific strategies for its care:

• Omega 3 Sevens promotes neuronal plasticity and the stability of synaptic membranes.

• B vitamins (present in Sevens Multivitamins ) are essential for brain metabolism, neurotransmitter synthesis and homocysteine ​​reduction.

5. Synergy with healthy lifestyle habits

Supplementation has the greatest impact when combined with consistent practices, such as:

• Diet rich in natural antioxidants, polyphenols and high-quality proteins.

• Daily movement, which stimulates protein and mitochondrial renewal.

• Deep night rest, necessary for the elimination of accumulated cellular waste.

• Controlled exposure to beneficial stressors (hormesis), such as exercise or fasting, which stimulate cellular resilience.

Conclusion

Supporting proteostasis doesn't depend on a single intervention, but rather on the sum of daily decisions sustained over time. Sevens products, formulated with a scientific basis and aligned with the pillars of holistic wellness, can be key tools within a conscious and active strategy to protect the cellular protein environment. Committing to the quality of what enters your body—from food to supplements—is committing to the stability, functionality, and longevity of your cells.
