Important Tip on Increasing your Lifespan

Professor Cynthia Kenyon, whom many experts believe should win the Nobel Prize for her research into aging, has discovered that carbohydrates directly affect the genes that govern youthfulness and longevity.

She found that turning down the gene that controls insulin in turn switches on another gene which acts like an elixir of life.

The Daily Mail reports that discovering the first gene has prompted the professor to dramatically alter her own diet, cutting right back on carbohydrates. That's because carbs make your body produce more insulin (to mop up the extra blood sugar carbs produce) so the vital second gene, the elixir one, won't get turned on.

Research confirms that an insulin-like growth factor is intricately linked to various diseases, and that RAISED INSULIN LEVELS, TRIGGERED BY HIGH CARBOHYDRATE CONSUMPTION, COULD BE WHAT CONNECTS MANY OF OUR MAJOR DISEASES SUCH AS CANCER, HEART DISEASE AND DIABETES.

Insulin is in fact a MAJOR accelerant of the aging process, and also affects many bodily processes, all of which impact your longevity.

For example, insulin:

Alters the expression of numerous hormones

Stimulates your sympathetic nervous system

Promotes vasoconstriction (narrowing of the blood vessels)

Professor Kenyon found that carbohydrates directly affect two key genes in your body that govern longevity and youthfulness. This work has revolutionized our understanding of ageing, explains Jeff Holly, professor of Clinical sciences at Bristol University. Ten years ago we thought ageing was probably the result of a slow decay, a sort of rusting, but Professor Kenyon has shown that it's not about wear and tear, but instead it is controlled by genes.
