DNA ‘repair kit’ helps BEAT BACK aging

You may think you know how old you are based on your birth date…

But what’s your ACTUAL age… on the inside??

You CAN’T tell by looking in the mirror…

And you WON’T find the answer in that old saying, “You’re only as old as you feel.”

Scientists, however, have got a way to determine your “real age” – NOT the number of candles you’ve got on your birthday cake.

It’s by looking at your genes.

Specifically, they determine the length of your telomeres… or, the little caps located at the end of your chromosomes.

The SHORTER those telomeres are… the OLDER your biological age is.

That’s right – you could be aging even FASTER than what your driver’s license says!

The SECRET to staying young… BIOLOGICALLY youthful, that is… is to keep those telomeres as long as possible.

But as your cells divide and reproduce, those telomeres take a BEATING.

They could suffer damage from oxidative stress…

And that’s how they SHORTEN.

According to the latest science, you could LENGTHEN your telomeres by upping your intake of one ESSENTIAL nutrient.

Researchers out of China found that they could increase telomere length in older folks… and therefore COUNTERACT aging…

Simply by BOOSTING their consumption of the trace element selenium.

And it didn’t take a lot, either. Just 20 extra micrograms (mcg) of dietary selenium EXTENDED telomere length by 0.42%.

Considering how MICROSCOPIC these little pieces of genetic material are… that’s really saying something!

This selenium trick worked on ALL the participants in the study… but it worked ESPECIALLY well for the older gals.

Now, the secret to selenium’s success could be in its antioxidant action…

But selenium isn’t just any ol’ antioxidant.

And OTHER antioxidant nutrients may not have the SAME effect on your telomeres… and therefore may not DE-AGE your body!

Selenium is known specifically for its role in DNA synthesis…

Which means it can MAKE NEW genetic material… and maybe even REPAIR damaged telomeres!

If you’re over 55, you may need at least 55 mcg selenium per day…

But some older folks… including kidney patients going through dialysis… could need EVEN MORE than that.

If you’re not already loading up on good selenium sources in your meals… like seafood (like oysters, tuna, sardines, shrimp) and organ meats (like beef liver) … it may be time for a new diet.

No BIG changes are necessary…

Because even just one ounce of Brazil nuts could provide 10X your Recommended Daily Intake of selenium!

Also check your multivitamin to see if it contains any selenium. If it doesn’t, you can get selenium as a supplement on its own – just make sure it’s the organic form, selenomethionine.

That’s the version your body can most easily absorb.
