Director of Research and Science, Dr. Eric Gumpricht offers his scientific insight into how this product works, what makes it unique from other options on the market, and breaks down the specifics of each ingredient and why it was chosen. We don’t often think about the health of our cells, but after hearing what Dr. Gumpricht has to say, you won’t want to go a day without the advanced support of Recharge NAD.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n  n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n For an audio-only version of this podcast, use the player below:n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n The post n n n n n <a href=”/the-science-behind-recharge-nad/”> n n n n n The Science Behind Recharge NAD™n n n n n </a> n n n n n appeared first on n n n n n <a href=”https://noahhodginwellness.com”> n n n n n Noah Hodginn n n n n </a> n n n n n .n n </p> n</div>

However, some geographical regions, known as Blue Zones, have an unusually high proportion of centenarians, which has led researchers to wonder what factors contribute to the exceptionally long and healthy lives of people in these areas. Although advances in medicine have helped this population continue to grow at a rate of 8% per year, better healthcare explains only a small part of these individuals’ extraordinary lives (1). Scientists have pinpointed several key lifestyle factors shared by centenarians across the globe. Understanding their secrets to health and longevity can help the rest of us enjoy better health and perhaps a longer life, too.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Choosing Nutrient-Dense Whole Foodsn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n One of the most asked questions received by people who live for 100 years or more is, “What do you eat?” The answer, however, may not surprise you. The secret to living a long life is not about consuming or avoiding any particular food. Instead, centenarians are known for diets that are balanced, low glycemic, low in saturated fats, and full of nutrient-rich vegetables (3,4). In Blue Zones, the diets are primarily whole-food based and are generally high in complex carbohydrates. Blue Zone cultures consume foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish and nuts (2). These healthful diets are linked to reduced mortality from major age-related diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and cancers (3).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Keeping Calories Moderaten n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n One of the most noted and scientifically supported aspects of a centenarian lifestyle is a calorie-controlled diet. In Okinawa, a Blue Zone region in southwestern Japan with one of the highest rates of centenarians on the planet, the population traditionally follows a lower-calorie diet that promotes a leaner body. The nutrient-dense and lower-calorie diets of Okinawans contribute to higher concentrations of plasma DHEA, an important hormone precursor for insulin and stress responses that naturally decrease with age (5). Calorie-restricted diets have also been shown to inhibit mTOR, an enzyme associated with accelerated aging, and promote NAD+ and sirtuin levels for improved energy, metabolism, and longevity (6).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Moving Freelyn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Since the 1800s, centenarians have reported the importance of a physically active lifestyle (1). Whether walking daily in hilly villages, gardening in their yards, or even working hard into their later years, centenarians keep their bodies moving. Research shows that physical activity stimulates AMPK, an important enzyme in energy homeostasis, and promotes mitochondrial health and longevity (2). Active lifestyles full of outdoor activities have also been associated with decreased reports of depression, strong mental health, and higher life satisfaction amongst centenarians (7).n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Staying Social and Having Funn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n No healthy body is complete without a healthy mind. Scientists have found that centenarians stay sharp by staying social (8,9). In Sardinia, a Blue Zone located in the Mediterranean, centenarians have noted enjoying an early dinner followed by a glass of wine with their family or friends each night (3). A strong social network, leisure hobbies, and learning new things promote healthy cognitive function and overall happiness, no matter your age in life.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Living to be 100 years old is not about luck. In fact, scientists believe that good genes account for only 25% of your chances at longevity (2). Working hard, eating a moderate and balanced diet, and remembering to have fun along the way make up the majority of factors influencing whether or not you’ll join the growing population of centenarians across the globe.n n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Referencesn n n n n </span> n <span> n n n n n  n n n n n </span> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <span> n n n n n Venturelli

HIIT typically involves alternating intense bouts of exercise, ranging from 30 seconds to several minutes, with recovery periods spanning one to five minutes. HIIT can incorporate cardio moves, body-weight exercises, and weightlifting, making it a form of exercise that works for people with a wide variety of fitness goals.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n <b> n n n n n PRISE Protocol n n n n n </b> n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n Notable for its incorporation of the nutritional timing of protein, HIIT, stretching, and endurance and resistance training, the n n n n n <a href=”http://isagenixhealth.net/what-is-the-prise-protocol/” target=”_blank”> n n n n n PRISE protocoln n n n n </a> n n n n n allows participants to benefit from each type of exercise.n n </p> n</div> n<div style=”padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:35px;” data-rss-type=”text”> n <p style=”margin:0px;”> n n With the PRISE protocol, each exercise is performed one day per week.
