Glycine stimulates serotonin production and plays a key role in nerve signal transmission, acting as an inhibitory neurotransmitter, calming neuronal activity. It is also a key component of collagen, helps in the production of creatine and detoxification processes in the liver

Whether you’re in peak form or dealing with conditions that need attention, the amino acid glycine may be helpful. Think of it as the Swiss Army knife of amino acids, an under-the-radar hero that that’s capable of doing your health alot of good without a lot of extra effort.

Yesterday I introduced the first 3 hallmarks of aging. Today we’ll take a look at the next three hallmarks – namely, proteostasis, deregulated nutrient sensing, mitochondrial dysfunction – and what you need to know them:

Just as the mitochondria shrink with years of physical inactivity, they respond by becoming larger and more numerous when there’s increased demand. Physical activity is nature’s mitochondrial helper, as are intermittent fasting and taking cold showers

Unlocking Longevity: Delving Into The 12 Hallmarks Of Aging (Part 1)

Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the hallmarls of aging. As we age, the mitochondria decline in number and they become increasingly susceptible to internal damage inflicted by the free radicals that are the toxic byproduct of all that energy production.

There are 12 key hallmarks of aging. In this post, I tackle the first three hallmarks to put on your radar, and what you need to know:

The epigenome, are the chemical compounds that tell our genes when to turn on and off. Think of it this way. Our cells all contain the same package of DNA, but it’s the epigenome that controls the on/off switches. And these chemical switches work less efficiently with age.

A new study shows that working nights and volatile schedules in young adulthood can leave you vulnerable to depression and poor health in middle age.

You could think of the 12 different hallmarks of aging as dominoes. It doesn’t matter which domino tips over, in the front or the middle or the back of the line, the effect will ripple through the whole bunch, setting in motion familiar and unwelcome aging changes.

The 12 different hallmarks of aging operate on distinct parts of our physiology, whether it’s at the micro level, for instance the DNA in our cells, or a more macro level, for instance, specific proteins or cells. But they all link up.
