Many fruits and vegetables, plus shellfish, whole grains, chicken, lean red meats and dark chocolate (but not milk chocolate) are loaded with the Buffet of Youth’s extraordinary ingredients–antioxidants–specific anti-aging vitamins and minerals that also fight against life-threatening diseases.
In research studies, people with more antioxidants in their diets had stronger immune systems, and a reduced risk of contracting infections, cancer and heart disease or of having a stroke. They even had fewer wrinkles!
Here’s why. As our bodies’ cells produce oxygen they also produce atoms called “free radicals.” Free radicals in the right proportion are good for our bodies because they produce energy and destroy some harmful bacteria. But when we are unhealthy or not eating a balanced diet they grow out of proportion to the number our bodies can handle and they destroy healthy cells. Antioxidants actually destroy the overabundant free radicals before they cause harm.
Vitamins A, C and E and the minerals selenium, zinc and copper are especially potent antioxidants. Vitamin C even forms collagen, and beauty experts suggest applying a vitamin C-based beauty serum to your face (after washing and before moisturizing) to smooth and prevent wrinkles.
So eat a diet that is high in antioxidants to boost your immune system and keep you looking younger.

Alpha Lipoic Acid & L-Carnitine Work Together In Stemulite To Keep You Feeling Younger
by THP
Filed under Sports Nutrition
(THP) If an acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/alpha lipoic acid (ALA) combination can reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress that would be good news for athletes, who are particularly vulnerable to such stress. However, because the small scale of this study made it difficult to reach statistically significant conclusions, the results were not submitted for scientific publication, which means they should be interpreted with caution.
Other human studies are also currently under way, but so far there are no published human studies available, although positive studies in animals continue to proliferate. Last year, for example, American researchers demonstrated that alpha lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation in older racehorses reduced the oxidative stress burden even under light training loads, while a number of other animal studies have shown that acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/ALA supplementation reduces oxidative stress and improves mitochondrial function in a number of tissues, including brain, muscle and heart.
In one of these studies, researchers examined the effects of acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/alpha lipoic acid (ALA) therapy on aging and hearing in rats, and found that it reduced the normal age-associated deterioration in auditory sensitivity and improved inner ear function. They concluded that these improvements were related to the acetyl L-carnitine (ALC)/ALA combination’s ability to protect and repair age-induced mitochondrial DNA damage, thereby boosting mitochondrial function and improving energy turnover. However, while the initial evidence from animal studies looks extremely promising, the jury is still out as far as humans are concerned.

Alpha Lipoic Acid & L-Carnitine Combined In Stemulite Promotes Youthfulness
by THP
Filed under Sports Nutrition
(THP) Alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine: could alpha lipoic acid and acetyl L-carnitine combine to form the Elixir of Life? When ALA is combined with L-carnitine the effect is powerfully synergistic. The initial excitement about ALC/alpha lipoic acid (ALA) supplementation began when a team of researchers in California fed elderly rats both nutrients for a period of seven weeks and then compared them with young rats. They were testing the theory that mitochondrial decline is caused by free radical damage. There was already evidence that supplementation with acetyl L-carnitine (ALC) could reverse the age-related decline in mitochondrial activity in rats, increase fatty acid oxidation and boost general metabolic activity. However the down side to this increased mitochondrial function was that more oxidative damage occurred, so the researchers decided to add the powerful mitochondrial antioxidant alpha lipoic acid (ALA) to the mix to see if they could get the best of both worlds: increased mitochondrial energy output, with reduced mitochondrial damage.
This two-pronged ‘punch’ to aging cells seemed to work, with the two supplements together producing better results than either one alone. After a month on the supplements, elderly (24-month-old) and lethargic rats had more energy and did better on memory tests, while their mitochondria worked better. The decline in overall activity typical of aged rats was reversed to the level of young-to-middle-aged adult rats, aged 7-10 months. The researchers likened this result to a group of 80-year-old humans throwing away their walking sticks and starting to act 35 years younger!
