Anti-Aging Health Alert: Vitamins Alter Aging

A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that multivitamins can keep you younger, longer. It shows that people who take a daily multivitamin had younger DNA.
Humble vitamin C has a secret life that nobody knows about. A Japanese study tested vitamin C’s effect on telomeres and found that raising the level of vitamin C in the cells could slow down the loss of telomeres up to 62%.

What Are Telomeres?

Telomeres are the key to aging. And it’s not just your life span that’s affected… Short telomeres dramatically boost your risk of serious diseases. One study of 60 to 75 year olds showed those with short telomeres had a 300% higher death rate from heart disease and an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases.
