114 Year Old Longevity Warrior’s Secrets

For all living organisms aging is inevitable, while it is still not fully understood why the body grows more decrepit, we are beginning to grasp how it occurs. 

Recent research published in Ecology Letters shows that factors influence one of the most important aspects of the aging process at the fundamental level of our DNA, and suggests stress can cause our built in biochemical body clock of our chromosome to speed up.

Every New Year inspires many people with hope of starting over, which can sometimes be an overwhelming endeavor, especially when it comes to health and well being. However, the secret to achieving and maintaining good health is to start by incorporating small behavioral changes that you can manage and live with in your lifestyle, according to experts from Baylor College of Medicine. 

A recent pilot study published in the journal Nutrients suggests that following a low fat diet which includes high amounts of egg white may help to boost male fertility. 

According to the study a diet high in fat, including healthy monounsaturated fats can negatively impact testosterone production for 5 hours, but a diet supplemented with egg whites and to a lesser extent whey protein can positively affect serum testosterone.

In a society where food is everywhere and on demand/available 24/7 a diet that forbids eating for hours at a time may seem like it may not do well, but increasing amounts of groups and apps are appearing for those who practice intermittent fasting. 

After reading about the diet it really doesn’t seem to be that hard, you can start by having a late breakfast and skipping night time eating, then eventually progress to a 60 day challenge of fasting every other day, there are several forms of intermittent fasting to choose from and tailor.
