SAVE YOUR TELOMERES:
In order to bolster your diet every day, start out with 5,000 IUs of vitamin D and 3 grams of vitamin C. Then add omega-3s, composed of 300 mg. of the EPA form and 200 mg. of the DHA form, preferably from krill oil or squid oil.
I also recommend two forms of vitamin E – 200 IUs of tocotrienols and 200 IUs to tocopherols.13 Don't buy the synthetic forms labeled "d-alpha" or "dl-alpha." But it's okay to buy forms labeled as "alpha-" or "mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols."
Melatonin 0.3mg 1.2 hour before bedtime.
Also: You should be saving something much more important than money – no matter what your age.
I'm talking about saving your telomeres, those tiny "countdown clocks" at the ends of your chromosomes.
As regular readers, you'll know that each time a cell duplicates, the new cell has slightly shorter telomeres – and it behaves a little bit older.
Eventually, your telomeres become too short to protect the chromosomes – and the cell dies. And the shorter your telomeres, the more prone you are chronic diseases and reduced life expectancy.
Your telomeres control how long you live… and also how you feel.
So saving your telomeres is probably the most important thing you can do for your life.
You can always find financial consultants to arrange your investments to make sure you do not outlive your money.
But as a doctor and an anti-aging specialist, I'm here to make sure you don't outlive your telomeres.
Imagine dancing at your 100th birthday party… or giving a toast at your great-granddaughter's wedding.
In other words, if you become too sickly or frail to enjoy life, it doesn't matter how much money you have.
And that's what "saving your telomeres" is all about… making the conscious decisions that will allow you to live a long and healthy life – with full strength, a sharp mind and free of disease.
That's why I always tell my patients: "Save your telomeres."
Your telomeres are the number one measures of how young your cells feel. All of a cell's biochemicals take their cues from its telomeres.
With long telomeres, the cell's biochemicals behave as if they are young. They generate more energy and fight off more infections and disease.
With short telomeres, the cell's biochemicals behave as if they're old.
As your cells age and die, you grow weaker, sicklier, more moody and mentally foggy.
