Longevity Strategy, Naturally (Part 1 of 3)

/in /by

Longevity means a long duration of individual life. But there is a big difference between a long duration in a vibrant, active body compared to a body sitting in a wheelchair drooling all day long.

There is a host of environmental and lifestyle factors that are constantly preying on the youth of every cell of your body. It is the inescapable reality of aging:

  • High alcohol consumption decreases the body’s antioxidant activity and, at the same time, increases cell-damaging free radicals.
  • Being overweight leads to a state of increased cell-damaging oxidative stress.
  • Excess Omega-6 fatty acid intake accelerates aging and increases inflammation.
  • Lack of sleep significantly shortens the length of DNA telomeres, your cellular timekeepers.
  • Highly processed carbohydrates and sugar intake promote the formation of AGEs (Advanced Glycation End-products). These mutated proteins significantly accelerate cellular aging.
  • Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) infiltrating our diet are linked to poor immune function and accelerated aging.
  • Overeating produces age-accelerating free radicals.

Many over-the-counter and prescription medications have been linked to accelerated aging, pain, and organ damage.

  • Poor nutrition leads to a lack of antioxidants and essential vitamins and minerals that fight the aging process.
  • Pesticides, herbicides, pollution, and other environmental toxins all increase skin aging and damage your DNA.
  • Mood-related issues like anger, stress, and fear that trigger the age-accelerating hormone cortisol into overdrive have been linked to as much as a decade of accelerated aging.
  • Too much or too little exercise — both the highly active and sedentary populations — have similar age-related biomarkers due to too little or too much exercise.
  • UV rays damage the DNA of skin cells, leading to thinning skin, sun spots, wrinkles, exaggerated expression lines, pervasive dryness, redness, itching, and even skin cancer.

Nature intended aging to be a gradual, graceful process full of vitality and longevity. Current lifestyles accelerate aging beyond belief, and showing physical signs of age is the number one fear of adults over 36 years old.

There IS Something You Can Do About It!

The answer is longevity capsules — a blend of age-defying “super nutrients” formula. A formula so powerful that it slows the aging process and:

  • Combats external “photo-aging,” improves skin tone, elasticity, and minimizes wrinkles
  • Increases the hormones responsible for skin brightness that gives your youthful glow
  • Increases feelings of well-being
  • Reduces the belly-fat-producing, age-accelerating hormone cortisol
  • Rolls back years of degenerative cellular aging
  • Reduces melanin (the molecule responsible for dark spots)
  • Reduces sleeplessness and improves sleep quality
  • Blocks and slows the degradation of the most important aging biomarker ever discovered — the length of your telomeres

Longevity capsules work by providing anti-aging, cell-rejuvenating benefits in just two small doses, taken twice daily with your meals.

There Are Three Root Causes of Why We Age

1. Degradation of Your Cellular Timekeepers

Known as telomeres, these are the protective caps at the end of each strand of cellular DNA that controls aging. Telomeres are so critically important to aging that some within the scientific community are calling them your “eternal youth genes.”

Every day, the cells in your body divide as many as 2 trillion times. Old cells die, and the body replaces them. While these new cells are duplicates, like a photocopied image, they are slightly less perfect than the original. As your telomeres degrade and shorten, your body ages more rapidly.

As aging accelerates, you live what is ultimately a lower and lower quality of life each year until eventually your telomeres “expire,” and the inevitable happens — you die.

You can boost the health of your telomeres and keep them from degrading and shortening with longevity capsules. You can slow and even reverse the aging process and add many high-quality, vibrant, and productive years to your life!

Using longevity capsules means that your cells stay young and vibrant even when your chronological age goes up. We’ve all seen 50-year-old men or women who don’t look a day over 40 and other 50-year-olds who could easily pass for 65. As the old adage goes, your age is just a number — the prime importance is your cellular age, or how old your young (and youthful) body feels, functions, looks, and performs.

The primary enzyme responsible for keeping telomeres strong, healthy, and long is called telomerase. The ingredients in longevity capsules work together to supercharge your telomerase production and keep you healthy, youthful, and full of life!

Live Longer – Eat Hot Chili Peppers

/in , , /by

Thousands of studies clearly show that the spicy flavor of hot chili peppers can help you live longer. The active compounds called capsaicinoids—primarily capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin—are the chemical substances that give chilies their spiciness and that familiar burning sensation.

When you eat chilies, the commotion produced in the mouth by the capsaicinoids is recorded by the pain receptors, not the taste buds, as many people think. These pain receptors send a message to the brain, warning that something is burning. In response, the body begins to sweat and produces copious amounts of endorphins to suppress the pain. This is why so many people enjoy spicy food—endorphins not only suppress pain but also trigger a positive feeling in the body, similar to that of morphine.

Capsaicin is well-known for its pain-relieving properties. It affects neurotransmitters and stimulates nerve endings to communicate with the brain. Chili peppers also help regulate blood glucose, and they have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties. Many additional health benefits have been attributed to capsaicin, including lowering the risk of type 2 diabetes.

All that spiciness, heat, and burning sensation make you statistically less likely to die from heart disease, cancer, or any other cause compared to people who rarely or never eat chili peppers.

Sweet Peppers Count, Too

Not all chilies are hot and spicy. Sweet peppers, such as cherry, cone, green, and paprika, contain a good source of capsaicin when consumed regularly.

Chili peppers have more vitamin A than carrots and more vitamin C than oranges. They stimulate the flow of saliva and gastric juices, leading to better digestion of proteins found in beans, corn, and other legumes.

Some people struggle with eating chilies raw or in salsa due to an unfamiliarity with the fruit or because their gut biome is in poor condition. These individuals often suffer from stomach or intestinal issues like colitis, acid reflux, IBS, or gas. Fixing gut problems by using digestive support like Maz-Mix digestive formula can help rebuild gut health and allow you to gradually enjoy spicier foods for a longer, healthier life.

A Mexican Treasure

Chili peppers come in many varieties—Mexico alone has more than 150 different types. Chilies are actually a fruit, and when combined with vegetables, nuts, and other fruits, they offer thousands of recipe combinations with amazing flavors. For many Mexicans, a meal isn’t complete without some kind of salsa.

The most commonly used chilies in Mexico include chile de arbol, cascabel, habanero, jalapeño, chipotle, serrano, pasilla, chile piquín, green pepper, and chile poblano. Mexican cuisine depends on chilies—dishes like pozole, mole, adobo, tacos, and tamales simply wouldn’t be the same without salsa as a key ingredient.

A Bit of History

Archaeological digs and studies of ancient clay cooking pots have revealed traces of capsaicinoids. The native people of central Mexico had fully domesticated chili peppers more than 8,000 years ago. The word “chili” comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) language.

My friend Bill Givens, a retired Canadian chef and self-acknowledged addict of Mexican cuisine, and I took a trip 22 years ago when traveling was still fun. Our goal was to explore various regions of Mexico and eat the local salsas. What was intended to be a one-month trip lasted over two months and turned into an extraordinary culinary journey.

We traveled from the U.S. to Tijuana, then down the west coast of Mexico to Cancún, and returned via the Gulf of Mexico. It was the most incredible gastronomic experience of my life. We ate salsa everywhere—restaurants, posadas (B&Bs), local markets (tianguis), and even in people’s homes. We never had the same salsa twice.

Chilies continue to play a huge role in Mexico’s rich culinary traditions—and now, science shows they also play a role in promoting health and longevity worldwide.
