A recent study shows a certain natural compound reverses the aging process by making cells act younger than they actually are. It’s called nicotinamide mononucleotide, or NMN for short.

This and other forms of nicotinamide have generated a lot of buzz in the anti-aging field. Many call them the “Fountain of Youth.”

Discover how this amazing element brings youth back to your cells and slows down the aging process…

NMN Helps Your Cells Function Properly

NMN plays a vital role in how cells use energy by increasing the production of another compound called NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide).

NAD is critical for converting energy […]

There’s a great deal of evidence that mitochondria – the “powerhouses of the cell” – are a major factor in determining how long you’ll live.

With aging come damaging changes in these cellular energy plants — their quality content, volume, function, gene expression, and ability to make proteins all slide downhill. This happens because mitochondrial DNA are especially vulnerable to attack by free radicals.

These damaging effects have led to the “mitochondrial free radical theory of aging” – an update to the free radical theory of aging that’s been around for a while. The new theory suggests that

Experts in natural health never tire of reminding us that food is the best medicine – especially preventive medicine. If you eat plenty of fruits and vegetables and other healthy items you have the best chance of staying at optimal health and avoiding illness.

But what you do in the kitchen with your food can make a big difference in how many nutrients and health benefits you get from that food. If you embrace a few simple tips about picking out and preparing your food, you can earn a big dividend in extra nutrition and natural nutrients that protect your body […]

If you’re like me, you not only want to live as long as you can, you want to be as strong and healthy as possible as you age. You want more years, and you want them to be good years.

Well, I’m happy to report that researchers have found a new way to help us reach those goals.

Studies now show that two popular foods possess natural chemicals that can keep your muscles from wasting away as you age and may prolong your life.

The two foods I’m talking about are apples and green tomatoes. Red tomatoes have the nutrients, too, but in […]

If scientists ever discover the elusive fountain of youth, that fountain will have to rejuvenate one particular group of cells that will make us all ageless.

These cells are the body’s workhorses with the potential to maintain your organs in the pristine condition of a teenager. They may also keep your muscles as toned as those of a young athlete and fine-tune your brain cells so they’re as rapid-fire smart as those of a chess prodigy. Keep reading and I’ll disclose the identity of these wonders.

The cells I’m talking about are stem cells.

Research shows that the changing nature of stem cells, […]

The close relationship between depressed levels of this natural peptide and the progression of aging could hardly be more convincing.

As a potent antioxidant and detoxifier, with key roles in the immune system and reliable links to longevity, this may be the one, single factor we need more than any other.

It’s called glutathione.

Levels Fall in All Organs After Age 45

Glutathione is made from three amino acids – glycine, glutamic acid and cysteine. It is found in all cells.

Although the body is able to manufacture glutathione, its ability to do so drops sharply after the age […]

To fight the effects of aging, you have to eat the right kinds of fats.

Studies show beyond doubt that the cells in your body function better and keep you healthier when they get a balance of the right fatty acids.

But most Americans don’t. Here’s a quick rundown on good fats and bad fats.

Most of us consume too many vegetable oils like corn and soy oil that are filled with what are called omega-6 fats. In excess, those fats speed up aging.

The solution: Balance them fats with omega-3 fats, which is not hard to do. But first let’s take a look […]

Your body contains a huge gland that, under the right circumstances, produces a hormone that’s remarkably powerful at fighting the aging process.

This hormone helps your muscles stay stronger, keeps your brain more alert and nimble, shores up your bones and keeps your blood sugar under steady control.

But few people have heard of this hormone, and researchers over the years have mostly neglected it.

Why? Strange to say, they didn’t fully appreciate that the part of the body that secretes the hormone was, in fact, a gland. That’s all changed. Keep reading to learn more about this new discovery that may add […]

Wouldn’t it be great if you could just take a vitamin that would turn on your longevity genes – the part of your DNA that helps you live longer?

Well, guess what. You can!

Research shows that there’s a vitamin that seems able to help your so-called longevity genes perform microscopic tasks that insure cellular survival and produce a potentially longer life expectancy for you.

DNA Performance

Every cell in your body contains an identical helping of DNA that determines how the cell makes the proteins and other substances that carry out life’s processes.

And researchers are discovering that certain natural substances can determine the […]

It seems like some folks have just plain won the longevity gene lottery. They get to live to be a hundred because they inherited DNA from their parents that keeps them spry, alert and mentally sound no matter what their age.

I know a very lively 90-year-old man and also a 96-year-old woman who never bothered a whit about how they eat, the quality of their sleep, meditation or any of the other stuff we sweat over.

Well, even if you suspect that your genetic inheritance is a little below par, you can take heart: Researchers believe they are discovering the places […]
