This Overlooked Nutrient May Be The Key To Brain Power

Aging is inevitable. But have you noticed that some very elderly people still don’t miss a thing? Some of my patients fall into this category. I’ve worked with many centenarians who remain quick-witted, with keen memories and focus. You can be one of these people, too — an all-star senior… Inside all of you, your cells are constantly busy dividing up to two trillion times per day. The new cells replace old, damaged, or dead cells and help you live, grow and thrive. Human cell lines have built-in mortality. As your cells divide, there’s a limit at which their limit is reached. There’s an internal mechanism or authority that sets the limit on cell division and shuts down the cell line when that limit is reached… causing cell death. If you’re a regular reader, you know I’m talking about telomeres…the little bit of genetic material found at the end of each strand of DNA in your cells. Telomeres control aging. Every time your cells divide, your telomeres get shorter — and as a result, your body produces cells that are older, weaker, and more decrepit. Worse, as your telomeres shorten, your body ages more rapidly. In addition to heart attacks, strokes, cancer, and many other age-related ailments, this built-in telomere shortening leads to memory loss… dementia… and Alzheimer’s. But there is good news… Medical research shows that when you take steps to restore and lengthen your telomeres, you prevent aging and, in turn, safeguard...
