“Dr. Shinya Yamanaka discovered a group of proteins that can reprogram differentiated (mature) cells into pluripotent stem cells. These proteins, now called Yamanaka factors, are highly expressed in embryonic stem cells in mice and humans.”

“Robust clinical evidence has demonstrated that sulforaphane increases the production of mercapturic acid metabolites of benzene and acrolein, known carcinogens present in air pollution and smoke from fires.”

“Engaging the brain by learning new motor skills as part of exercises such as yoga, tai chi, and non-contact boxing can provide the cognitive load needed to achieve the desired benefits.”

“She uses that result to make consistency practical. Aerobic exercise does not need to be all-out every day, but sessions that raise heart rate and improve cardiorespiratory fitness provide a meaningful brain stimulus.”

“Exercise is a huge driver of how well we age because it induces profound molecular shifts that support immune health and might even protect our telomeres – indicators of aging. Exercise might help forestall certain age-related diseases, such as Parkinson's disease, too.”
