Discovered: Hidden Trigger ACCELERATES Aging
Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
When you were a kid, you probably never thought about how life would be when you reached your golden years… you were probably too busy riding your bike with no hands and eating Twinkies!
But now that you’re a senior, life looks MORE than just a little different.
The fact is, no one likes aging, but some of us seem to do it better than others.
And now you too can access this “fountain of youth.”
Researchers have discovered a hidden trigger that ACCELERATES aging… and I’m going to tell you exactly how to turn it off.
If you’re a frequent reader of Living Well Daily, you know how important gut health is.
In recent years, studies have shown how important your microbiome is for your immune system, digestion, and even your brain health.
But now a study published in Nature Metabolism found that your microbiome may determine how quickly – and how well – you age.
The research team analyzed the gut microbiome and clinical data of over 9,000 people from ages 18 to 101.
What they found is that younger folks have microbiomes that (mostly) look the same… in fact, it can be difficult to tell them apart.
But as people age, their microbiomes start to change and can become radically different due to metabolites. And this is what gave the researchers the clearest sign that your gut rules how you age.
You see, they found two specific metabolites in the blood of the healthiest people.
The first, tryptophan-derived indole, had been shown previously to extend lifespan in one animal study. The second was phenylacetylglutamine, which is often found in folks living to be 100.
The connection was clear—the healthier your gut, the longer your life.
So how do you make sure you have a healthy microbiome?
Let me show you.
Dr. Scott’s Gut Health Program:
- Probiotics are your easiest path to a healthy digestive system. I prefer a probiotic product that contains a fiber prebiotic along with good bacteria probiotics.
- Eat enough fiber to not only help with regular bowel movements, but to also help stimulate healthy bacterial growth. I always suggest people choose both water-soluble and water-insoluble fiber.
- Throw away junk food, trans fats, processed, and chemical foods. All processed foods, trans fatty acids, artificial sweeteners, and alcohol harm gut bacteria. Do what you can to limit these non-foods in your diet.
