A growing body of evidence suggests that boosting AMPK activity can prevent and even reverse, the life-shortening effects of aging. Insufficient AMPK activity may be related to virtually all pathological aging processes. Research indicates that restoring AMPK not only increases longevity, but works to fight the symptoms of aging in individual body systems.

Boron Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk
Compelling evidence indicates that the trace mineral boron plays an important role in protecting men against deadly prostate cancer by selectively killing prostate cancer cells while leaving healthy cells unharmed. Adequate boron levels are associated with a 64% reduced risk of prostate cancer as well as a reduction in PSA levels.
How To Obtain Optimal Benefits From Selenium
By protecting DNA, eliminating toxins, boosting immunity, and optimizing thyroid function, the proper forms of selenium have been shown to impede heart disease, certain cancers, immune senescence, and premature death.
The Link Between Vitamin C And Optimal Immunity
Most animals internally synthesize high amounts of vitamin C. Humans lack this ability and are entirely dependent on dietary or supplement ascorbate sources to remain alive. In addition to its vital role in maintaining the body’s collagen structure, vitamin C augments numerous components of the immune system.
How To Improve Your Odds Of Successful Cataract Surgery

Strategy To Restore Youthful Facial Contour
The effects of gravity and sun exposure break down elastin and collagen, resulting in your skin’s loss of resilience and firmness. A newly identified peptide triggers new production of elastin and collagen, while three extracts suppress free radicals, block UV damage, and boost the moisture in your skin by 51%—for more defined, younger-looking skin.
The Microbiome Of Aging And Age-Related Disease Conference
At the world’s first microbiome conference, scientists presented compelling new information on microbial cells and their critical effects on disease and aging. Topics included the Human Microbiome Project, chronic inflammation, colon bacteria, dietary impact, and probiotics and prebiotics.
