Its sad, all these researchers, all of them, including David Sinclair who now dyes his hair and recently started uses videochat "beautify" filters which hide wrinkles in videocall interviews all look like they've been aging more or less at a normal rate over the past decade, if you go back and look at their older videos from 10 years ago they looked 10 years younger.

[@AUniqueHandleName444]

​@@2drealms196 Skin is one of the least consequential aspects of longevity, but the most visible. You can have very wrinkly skin and still be extremely healthy and live a very long and functional life. Same with grey hair -- most people just get grey hair when they'll get grey hair, and there isn't much to be done about it (as of yet). We are on the cusp of some stuff in mouse trials (robust rejuvenation of elderly mice doubling their natural lifespan and making them functionally young again), but until then, most of the health and longevity impacting options we had were focused on improving cardiovascular, muscular, and brain health and keeping our organs in a youthful condition.

In addition, I take the following supplements, which I did a ton of research on for not only the right dosage, but also for the cleanest and the most bio-available versions, and of course, all vegan. L-Citruline, B12-Complex, Omega-3, Zinc, Potassium,Tart Cherry, Quercetin, Saw Palmetto, Selenium, Calcium, Creatine HCL, BCAA powder. I've been on this diet for over three years now.

I couldn’t agree more with the ability to age backward. I too am early 70’s and feel like it’s another prime of life. I look great and feel healthier and better daily. We were lied to about age . There is no reason to get decrepit and ugly except if we deny ourselves proper food, exercise and supplements. Avoid ALL junk food and fast food outlets .

​@@zed5129 Thanks for the idea Zed, but for now I still have a full-time job (for a few years) and I'm happy to be just an end-user : as a hobby I watch many videos, read numerous books and even read a reasonable amount of scientific papers when I'm really motivated to learn more on a particular subject. As my scientific formation was more oriented towards mathematics I'm also very far from having the level in biology / medicine that many channels owners I follow (Rhonda Patrick included). She's great and I was even one of her patreons for a couple of years before I gave up after having watched too much videos about the supposed benefits of cruciferous and leafy greens. Honestly I prefer when she interviews great scientists like Satchin Panda, Guido Kroemer, Chris McGlory or Judith Campisi than when she gave us her recipe for a "healthy" green smoothie🤢🤮.

It's really important to highlight that the RDA for Magnesium of 320mg for adult women and 420mg for adult men is ELEMENTAL.. it's not the salt value written on the side of the bottle. A 500mg tablet has typically about 50mg of elemental magnesium. It's crucial to highlight the difference.

If only it was a myth! Consumption of piscivorous fish from the Maroni basin (French Guiana) by pregnant women is officially not recommended by French Health authorities. In this area only 20g of fish a day are enough to put you at risk. Sadly one of my colleague stationed in Guyana for a few years gave birth to an abnormal child because she had been contaminated by mercury during her pregnancy.

I just wanted to say it is great that you are not making a tradeoff for more content. Many good channels getting into the grind of at least 1 video each weak and then they include more and more topics and more and more trending guest. which finally removes the initial value proposition and makes them just another youtuber for views. This channel keeps the quality high since 10 years already. So thank you.

Eggs are good for vitamin D particularly during winter, cheaper than supplements.

[@robman2095]

Not really. Vit D supplements are cheap. To get your full daily requirement from eggs you would have to eat around a 10-12 eggs. For that amount of money you can buy maybe 900 days of Vit D daily requirement in 500IU supplement form, so supplements are hundreds of times less expensive as a source of Vitamin D than eggs

[@janetgillespie6590]

@@robman2095 Thanks for your reply. My research says 90% of vitamin D from 2 eggs daily. Also good source of protein, and many other nutrients. Supplements are an additional cost to food we still have to eat So how would you cost this? Both nutritionally and financially? Risk of overdose is also greater than with foods, according to medical advice. Vitamin D overdose has resulted in hospitalisation and serious side effects. Some take more than one supplement. Interested in your comments.

[@janetgillespie6590]

I got my info from Healthline, which is nutrition based. But will check another couple of sites. Thanks. Doctors in short supply!

[@EmpoweredTransition]

If you’re at a Vit D deficit, then 2 eggs will not be enough. Taking Vit D supplement as well as eating eggs will be more effective.

[@philliph7749]

Your research is slightly off. A serving of two eggs provides about 82% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin D1. Each egg contains approximately 11% of the daily value (DV) of vitamin D2. Therefore, two eggs would provide about 22% of the daily value . However, the percentage can vary depending on the diet and sunlight exposure of the chicken that laid the eggs . It’s important to note that vitamin D needs can vary based on age, gender, and life stage ...from bing AI

I’ve always had them since my 30s. I’ve recently started sauna and sprinting. I’ve been intermittent fasting for the last 3 years but I’ve never tracked any improvements as I had no idea I could get any. I hope it will happens as I’ve stopped sclero therapy as I know it’s not a healthy let alone permanent solution.

I heard a doctor say, take a total of one gram a day of a variety in combination of different magnesium types as in orotate, threonate, citrate, tirosine, and etc., divided up throughout the day. My question is, how do you take the capsules: with water, juice, or certain foods or certain other supplements? Thank you. I loved this discussion.

There is a wide range of recommendations on the optimum level of vitamin D3 in blood with many stating between 20 and 50 ng/ml. However, there is clear data showing to have the optimum immune response the level needs to be over 50 ng/ml with an upper limit of 100 ng/mml though there is little evidence of toxicity from high levels and 30,000 IU per day can be taken for several weeks to achieve the desired value. As for omega 3 the only safe fish are the small ones - sardines, anchovies, mackerel or Alaska salmon with farmed salmon a health risk. Omega oils other than from krill may well be a poor form due to the extraction method using solvents.

Cholecalciferol - Vitamin D3 is the main ingredient in d-Con rat poison so no more than 400 IU max from a synthetic unregulated source. A rat is 90% dna of a human. B12 has cyanide in it so no more than 2.4 mcg per day from a synthetic unregulated source.

I love the idea of an exercise snack!

The problem with advocating 8 billion people eat more seafood is that it's not at all sustainable.

[@kellysmyth2337]

That statement is one of the dumbest comments on KZbin I’ve ever seen. As if a KZbin video would cause species extinction
