Become more active.
150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week is the WHO target for adults. Brisk walking, for example. Even less activity is a starting point.

Sleep & regularity
Good sleep has a rhythm.
In a long-term study, the group with the most regular sleep had a lower relative mortality rate than the group with the least regular sleep.
30%lower relative mortality rate in the study comparison
One week. One rhythm.
For your daily lifeGive bedtime and waking time a reliable place in your day. Sleep duration and quality matter too.
Source and assessment
Windred et al. · Sleep · 2024
UK Biobank observational study of predominantly older adults, with a mean age of around 63 years. The most regular and least regular fifths of the Sleep Regularity Index were compared. Fully adjusted model: 46,721 people; hazard ratio 0.70 (95% confidence interval 0.59–0.83), mean follow-up 6.3 years.
The 30% is a relative difference in mortality rate, not an absolute mortality risk or additional years of life gained. After further adjustment for sleep duration, the hazard ratio was 0.74. The observation does not prove that changing sleep times produces this effect.
Body weight & obesity
One number.
A bigger picture.
Large long-term studies found a higher relative mortality rate among people with obesity. Body weight is therefore part of the bigger picture – alongside activity, muscle mass and your personal circumstances.
BMI alone does not describe your health. Underweight was also associated with higher risk in the study.

For your daily lifeFocus on sustainable habits and individually appropriate support. A weight goal needs context.
Source and assessment
Global BMI Mortality Collaboration · The Lancet · 2016
Main analysis: 3,951,455 people from 189 studies who had never smoked and had no known chronic conditions at baseline. The first five years of follow-up were excluded. Reference: BMI 22.5 to below 25; BMI 30 to below 35: hazard ratio 1.45 (95% confidence interval 1.41–1.48).
Group differences do not predict how much an individual will benefit from losing weight. The hazard ratio is not an absolute mortality risk. BMI does not distinguish between fat and muscle mass.
Nutrition & cardiovascular health
A positive pattern.
Every day.
PREDIMED studied a Mediterranean diet in 7,447 people at increased cardiovascular risk. The focus was on dietary patterns over several years.

Estruch et al. · PREDIMED · NEJM · 2018
Corrected republication from 2018. 7,447 participants at increased cardiovascular risk but without cardiovascular disease at baseline; median follow-up 4.8 years. The chart shows unadjusted proportions with the combined primary endpoint. Adjusted hazard ratios versus the control group: 0.69 (95% CI 0.53–0.91) with olive oil, 0.72 (0.54–0.95) with nuts.
The study was reanalysed because of departures from randomisation. The results concern heart attack, stroke or cardiovascular death, not all-cause mortality. They establish neither an isolated effect of a single food nor an effect of Betterage.
Supplements & authorised nutrient functions
Nutrients.
With a clear purpose.
These examples show authorised EU claims about nutrients. Whether supplementation is useful depends on your nutritional status and personal circumstances.
These statements concern normal bodily functions. They do not promise a longer life and are not a blanket recommendation to take supplements.
Muscle function
Vitamin D
Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal muscle function.
Fatigue
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Nervous system
Magnesium
Magnesium contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system.
The foundation remainsA varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important. Food supplements do not replace a balanced, varied diet.

The stated claims are authorised for foods that meet the respective minimum requirements as a source of vitamin D, vitamin B12 or magnesium. They refer to the nutrient, not to Betterage or automatically to every supplement product.
For a specific product, its composition, amount consumed and other conditions of use must be checked. No products or doses are recommended here. Legal basis: Regulation (EC) 1924/2006, particularly Article 10.
