Multivitamins Extend Telomere Length – and Therefore Lifespan Potential

A new study of 586 women has shown for the first time that regular multivitamin intake extends telomere length by 5.1%. This is a significant anti-aging finding.

Omega 3 Oils Slow Aging by Preserving Telomeres

Omega 3 oils, especially DHA, are routinely in the headlines for their extensive science demonstrating the ability to reduce heart disease, lower triglycerides, improve brain function, help weight management, and reduce the chronic low-grade inflammation associated with virtually any disease of aging. A new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows for the first time that omega 3 oils also possess a powerful anti-aging characteristic – the preservation of telomeres.

Eating Less Enhances Anti-Aging Telomeres

It is pretty clear that Americans are causing early death, disease, and feeble health by literally poisoning themselves with too much food. Eating less, often referred to as calorie restriction, has previously been shown to activate the anti-aging gene system based on Sirtuin1 (the same gene resveratrol activates). New British animal research now demonstrates that calorie restriction also extends the length of telomeres – another powerful anti-aging aspect associated with eating less food.

Tocotrienols Extend Telomeres and Turn Back the Clock

A study with human cells and tocotrienols has demonstrated potent anti-aging effects of tocotrienols, actually extending the length of telomeres while preventing damage to DNA. This study is knocking on the door of the fountain of youth.

Green Tea and Quercetin Prevent Telomere Loss from Cardio Stress

Green tea polyphenols (EGCG) and quercetin have demonstrated the ability to extend the lifespan of heart cells when the heart is placed under considerable distress. In addition to lowering free radical damage and improving the function of antioxidant enzymes within the heart, these nutrients were shows to preserve telomeres and reduce heart cell death.
