How we classify
What counts as health information at asonom and what is food, personal development or spirituality: the structure of the magazine and the classification of every article.
asonom is a magazine about longevity, about how people can stay healthy for as long as possible. It also publishes articles on food, personal development and spirituality. So that nobody mistakes a recipe for nutritional medicine, or an essay on divine guidance for health advice, every article carries a classification. It appears at the top of the article and on every card.
The longevity core
Five sections form the core: Longevity with the research overviews, Nutrition, Fitness, Mental Health and Healthy Ageing. They deal with what is known about healthy ageing. These articles are general health information. They do not replace advice, diagnosis or treatment from a doctor.
Where a topic is contested, the article carries its own note, for example on detox products, fasting, supplements, nootropics, cosmetic treatments or experimental therapies against ageing.
Beyond the core
Food & Pleasure, Self Development and Spirituality belong to asonom, but not to the longevity core. That is why they are not in the main navigation but in the bar above it.
Articles on spirituality describe what traditions teach and practise, from prayer and divine guidance to the law of attraction and crystal healing. They do not assess effectiveness and do not promise healing. Where they speak of energies, vibrations or healing powers, these are matters of belief, not scientifically proven effects.
Advertising
Paid articles by members of the Lifestyle Marketing Club are labelled as advertising. An advertising article is not an independent test.
Archive
Articles on topics outside the longevity focus move to the archive. They remain available there but are not part of the core.
