Have we found the Fountain of Youth?

There has always been a mythical element to searching for the Fountain of Youth – and let’s face it, non-one has ever proved that it exists!  But recently, scientists have been focusing a lot of research on the building blocks of our cells, and in particular the molecule NAD.  And the research is proving very exciting for the possible evidence of how to slow or even prevent aging!  Could NAD be the modern day Fountain of Youth?

The Legend of the Fountain of Youth

But no matter whether you believe the fables or not, for thousands of years explorers have searched for the existence of the Fountain of Youth!  Some of these intrepid explorers wrote the fables that we are familiar with, boasting of success, others perished in the search!  But do you really believe that anyone ever truly discovered the Fountain of Youth.  I am not so sure about the so called discoveries, and it all seems a bit like the selling snake oil, because I am not sure that any fountain of youth ever delivered what was promised.  And how can we ever prove that it was the Fountain of Youth that worked?

The search for the Fountain of Youth

But that never stopped people looking!  For thousands of years, philosophers prophesized about the mythical Fountain of Youth, and what magical powers it contained, but dare I say equally without success.

However, the stories have become intertwined with fairy tales and certainly make for excellent bed time stories.  But here is the funny thing, although the legends have entered into folklore, we can still observe the same behaviour in the modern age. The modern day equivalent of the Fountain of Youth would have to be the cosmetics industry, leading the charge to the Fountain of Youth!  In actual fact, the cosmetics industry is worth billions of dollars every year, and offers a wide range of supplements, treatments, makeovers, makeups, and even surgical solutions to the problems of aging and trying to look younger.  But no matter how big the cosmetics industry is, the modern day Fountain of Youth cannot defy the aging process forever.  In a strange parallel to the old stories and legends, the Fountain of Youth has proven to be as elusive as ever!

NAD Boosters – Have we found the Fountain of Youth?

So if everyone has been looking for so long for the magical powers of the Fountain of Youth – why has no one been able to find it?  Well, the good news is – medical researchers have found the Fountain of Youth!  IT was inside us all along, so we can stop searching all over the world, we knew the secret all along – we have the secret within!  But where is the Fountain of Youth and how do we unlock the secrets of staying younger?

Where is the Fountain of Youth?

Is it in the mind, or the heart, or the soul?  The reason the Fountain of Youth has been so elusive is that it exists at the microscopic level – it is in the cells.  Each and every cell in our body contains NAD, otherwise known as Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide.  NAD is actually the most vital element for all living things and is actually a co-enzyme used for the oxidation of glucose into energy for the cells to grow and develop.  Actually NAD has been known about for a long time, and it is the vital element within the mitochondria at the cellular level, which is the very essence of life!  So NAD is no recent development by any means, but what is interesting is how scientists are understanding more about how NAD in the body works, and how to supplement it!

 

How do we tap into the Fountain of Youth?

First we need to understand a little more about NAD.  NAD is vital for energy, it is vital for cell growth and it is vital for the existence of almost all living cells on the planet!  So this means that the power of NAD is not just something that humans invented, it has always been the powerhouse of nearly every living animal, no matter how large or small.  What scientists have found is that when levels of NAD were increased in primitive life forms, the longevity of these creatures increased.  In some cases, scientists have been able to double the lifespan of some animals.  So this is why scientists claim that they have found NAD to be the Fountain of Youth!

Why do we need to increase NAD?

The problem with aging is that the rate of production of NAD decreases as we age, and therefore we lose that extra vitality the comes with more NAD.  NAD is also responsible for the healing and rebuilding processes within the body, so as we get older we need more of it to heal and therefore we have less available for vitality.  So if we are to unlock the Fountain of Youth, there may be interesting possibilities to increase NAD levels in humans as we get older.

Can we become young again?

So the question becomes can we supplement our NAD levels back to the levels when we were younger, and do we feel young again?  Scientists say YES!  NAD could definitely be the modern day Fountain of Youth!  The problem is that because it is a metabolic process, and runs deep down at the cellular level, it is not a simple matter of taking a pill or a drink of tonic water.  There are huge numbers of supplements out there on the market (including NAD and NAD boosters), and they might work.  However, as a word of caution, the scientific research has not been conducted on humans, so this is not necessarily a fait-a-complete.

What can we do to look after our health?

There are also a lot of dietary and exercise factors that we need to implement into our lifestyle.  The benefit of managing our own health is that when scientists can develop a safe way to supplement NAD in the human body, we are in great shape to extend our lifespan.

The Fountain of Youth

There is no doubt that the future of NAD boosters may lead to the discovery of the Fountain of Youth.  For the first time in history, the Fountain of Youth may actually be PLAUSIBLE, so stay tuned for more updates how you can get some!
