Why We Age And What We Can Do About Reversing It

By Alice Sandylands


Growing older and becoming less youthful as we age as well as becoming more and more not well might worry us but the main question of all of this you may be wondering to yourself is why we age? There is quite a good answer to that and it's probably not what most think of.... One of the major causes to why we feel less and less youthful is because of oxidation stress. Unfortunately this occurs when there is damage to our DNA, and proteins because of free radicals in our body. Eating the wrong foods, drinking excessively and smoking are all contributors to the production of the free radicals.

Before we get onto how we can actually fix the problem at hand we must address another important factor that is contributing to the question we sometimes ask ourselves - Why we age? And that is Glycation, another factor which has an impact on aging. You may be wondering what is that.. Well it's when glucose actually binds with the proteins, the lipids and DNA and make them less functional and as this causes our body tissues to malfunction. As time passes on this glycation build up unfortunately becomes even worse and causes people to age.

B viatmins like niagen and Niacin have been found to actualy slow down and in some cases actually reverse the signs and process of aging. There is a wonderful article I will include below but it's absolutely fantastic as what the studies have show it to be able to do. These B vitamins injested via supplement or via food which is unfortunately really hard to get only really found in milk but at such a low level you kinda need the supplement... It will help revatilise the cells and pump the levels of NAD in the cells to a healthy level and studies show that it can actually reverse the signs of aging! Which is kinda crazy! We are living in a pretty crazy time of scientific breakthroughs!

Over time you are more likely to grow old and frail and this is just part of the aging process. However, taking Vitamin B can strengthen your muscles. It also has the capability to reverse muscle wastage. A sufficient intake of Vitamin B also increases metabolism.

Combatting issues like forgetfulness, confusion and often times feeling dizzy is a result of lacking a very important supplement that we are now well aware of. Vitamin B is essential for encouraging mental clarity and focus with the ability to focus your thoughts clearly on the subject without bouncing from one thing to the next. Niagen especially, research shows it can help slow down the process of getting older and actually encourage feeling strong and youthful as we age.
