Happy Sunday☀️

Studies show that regular relaxation practice, whether that's yoga, meditation, tai chi, breathwork or mindfulness, can significantly reduce biological age (in addition to many other health benefits).

✨In the Younger You method we recommend two 10-20 mins practices per day - but feel free to start with as little as 3 minutes and build your way up!

✨The most important criterion of your relaxation practice is that it be something you enjoy, so that it will be easy to make it a long-running part of your life.

In a new study published in the journal Cancer Research, Israeli scientists have found that by increasing the metabolic activity of healthy cells, exercise likely pitches them against cancer cells in a battle for nutrients, which slows cancer progression.

Skeletal muscle is the currency of aging;

✨It's an essential lever in maintaining optimal metabolic health, reducing body fat, and supporting longevity.

✨And a major piece of building and maintaing muscle is protein consumption-which is often a controversial topic in the nutrition space.

✨When you exercise, you provide a low-dose jolt to the brain's reward centers-the system of the brain that helps you anticipate pleasure, feel motivated, and maintain hope.

✨Over time, regular exercise remodels the reward system, leading to higher circulating levels of dopamine and more available dopamine receptors.

✨In this way, exercise can both relieve depression and expand your capacity for joy.

Dark chocolate!

✨Yes, dark chocolate is rich in resveratrol, and resveratrol mixes well with other antioxidants and minerals found in dark chocolate, including iron, copper, and manganese.

✨So, eating dark chocolate in an appropriate amount is also good for health!

✨Appreciate the gifts of today - and every day.

Happy Sunday☀️

Fish oil for everyone!

✨One of the first supplement recommendations I make is EPA/ DHA in the morning.

✨If there's one supp I can recommend for brain health, longevity and overall cognitive performance it's Omega-3!

Urolithin A is a gut microbiome-derived metabolite of the polyphenol ellagic acid and a Younger You epinutrient!

✨It supports longevity thanks to its potential to influence epigenetic regulators (meaning it can modulate epigenetic expression - turning good genes on and bad genes off).

Researchers at the London School, Harvard, and Stanford compared exercise to pharmaceutical interventions and found that exercise often worked just as well as drugs for the prevention of diabetes and the treatment of heart disease and stroke.

✨Exercise is just one of four lifestyle behaviors found to significantly extend our lifespan. Exercise is medicine.

✨Dr. Greger's Daily Dozen recommends 90 minutes of moderate-intensity activity, such as brisk (four miles per hour) walking or 40 minutes of vigorous activity (such as jogging or active sports), each day.
