Chronobiology–Reducing Time

There are many theories as to how we age: antioxidant damage, glycosylation of proteins (sugar molecules irreversibly damaging protein in our cells) and telomere shortening among many others.

This article is in line with the antioxidant theory, suggesting that a balance between oxidized and reduced NAD in the cell controls production of two proteins that control the age of the cell. The bottom line? Nothing’s changed. Anti-aging still consists of moderation and avoidance of damaging factors such as refined carbs, saturated fats and hydrogenated oils. High intakes of fruits and veggies will give the body what it needs to maintain a happy balance of NAD forms.
