American scientists have found that broccoli slows down the aging process as it contains a component to inhibit the loss of vision and age-related weight gain.
Physiological signs of aging can be slowed due to a component in broccoli, cabbage and avocado, according to researchers at the University of Washington.
Clinical studies have shown that this component pauses the deterioration in liver function, age-related vision loss, and bone mineral density, and also increases the metabolic rate. We are talking about a long coenzyme called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NMN).
The main advantage of NMN is the ability to compensate for the loss in energy production, and many experts believe that this is a key cause of aging. The researchers tested the effect of a component on elderly mice and saw that he was able to delay the onset of age-related processes. NMN affect their metabolism in such a way that changed its speed to the level observed in young mice.
Since human cells are based on the same process of energy production, and the cells of mice, the researchers hope to perfect their discoveries will form the basis for a method that allows people to maintain health as you age. It is known that due to aging process our body loses its ability to produce a key element needed to create energy. This is a nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). To level the researchers made one step back in the supply chain and identified the role of NMN.
When dissolved in drinking water and the use of mice, this feature has been found in the bloodstream in less than three minutes. There he was converted to NAD in many tissues, as shown by experiments. However, this component is only useful for older mice, it has no effect on younger.
