Sunday's Story: Longevity Again
One of the most important parts of your health span and your life span is nutrition and whatever supplements you may or may not be taking in addition to your nutrition. When we look at the pyramid of fitness, the bottom row is nutrition. We've got to be able to eat right, and as stated in the first sentence of Fitness in a Hundred Words: Eat meat and vegetables, seeds and nuts, a little starch, avoid sugar. What that means is eat real food!
Once your nutrition is dialed in, we can start talking about supplementation. Two that I always recommend:
- Glucosamine 2,000 mg a day for your joints, cartilage, tendons, and other connective tissues. Keep those healthy and strong.
- Turmeric, again about 2,000 mg a day, for inflammation. Inflammation is what kills all of us. You want to avoid that.
The other reason I'm bringing this up is that I found two new supplements, and they are amazing:
- The first is called NAC (N-acetyl cysteine). A couple of capsules a day. It's good for respiratory support, liver detox, and overall health.
- The other one is called Urolithin-A. This one is amazing. It's from TimeLine, and it's a mitochondrial support supplement.
Somewhere between those two, I noticed that my skin, especially on my arms and legs, stopped bruising so easily and seemed to have thickened. My skin doesn't cut as easily and doesn't get scraped up and bleeding. You may not have noticed this yet, but my grandparents used to call them liver spots on your hands and arms. As you get older, your skin thins out, and you need something to make that less prevalent. It's hard to believe, but one or both of those supplements seem to have fixed that problem. We offer NAC here! You'll need to order the other one.
