Why you should be a mitochondriac

Look after your mitochondria for higher energy

Energy powers every function in your body – and that energy is generated in your trillions of mitochondria.

So supporting mitochondrial health is central to keeping healthy overall – and in combating the decline in cellular energy that becomes an issue by your early 50s. Because it is a contributor to ageing and almost all age-related illness.

There are three main ways you can support your mitochondrial health.

 

Why you should be a mitochondriac NutriShield Multi Vitamins and MineralsColin Rose is a Senior Associate Member of the Royal Society of Medicine, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.

He is the Founder and Director of Research and Innovation of Uni-Vite Healthcare and author of a recent book: Delay Ageing: Healthy to 100, where he reveals how to slow ageing and, therefore, help prevent later-life illness.

1. PROTECT your mitochondria

Energy is created in your mitochondria when food is converted to chemical energy called ATP. This involves oxidation – ‘burning’ food molecules with oxygen. This process inevitably involves excess oxidation-generated molecules called free radicals. And, over time, these can cause damage to the mitochondria, meaning less energy is produced.

The defence against this damaging sequence is to increase the level of antioxidants from your diet and natural antioxidants that your body produces – like glutathione. These help to neutralise the damaging free radicals.

Our NutriShield Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Plan to Delay Ageing has many foods that boost your body’s self-produced antioxidant levels. And NutriShield contains many powerful antioxidants – including lycopene, lutein, green tea and grapeseed extracts, plus vitamins C, E, copper, zinc and selenium.

2. INCREASE ATP directly

Our biology is complicated and astonishing!  Because ATP is so vital, you make your body weight of ATP a day!

I had to triple check that statement as it seems so incredible. But it’s true – because you make and use and remake and use ATP over and over again in the course of 24 hours.

To make ATP, you need a continuous supply of yet another molecule called NAD+. And that in turn is created from a form of vitamin B3 called Nicotinamide Riboside. You can see the whole sequence in this video Nicotinamide Riboside + Apigenin (youtube.com).

So, the second way to improve mitochondrial function is via Nicotinamide Riboside – which you can see here. NR+A, NAD+ Booster | Boost NAD+ for Healthy Ageing | NutriShield

3. REDUCE inflammation

One of the reasons that NAD+ declines over time is that it is needed to fight chronic inflammation – and inflammation typically increases significantly with age.

So, reducing inflammation through anti-inflammatory foods in your diet – and through anti-inflammatory supplements – is the third way to restore NAD+.  Which increases ATP, which supports proper mitochondrial function.

Our biology really IS complicated!

That’s why there are so many anti-inflammatory foods in the NutriShield Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Plan to Delay Ageing. And so many anti-inflammatory nutrients in NutriShield. Including Omega 3, curcumin, grapeseed extract (resveratrol), green tea extract, vitamin D3, extra vitamin C etc.

Medical researchers agree that if you slow ageing, you also delay the onset of age-related disease. And we know that it’s not just nutrition. Sleep, reducing stress and cardio and strength exercise are also essential to longevity and ageing well.

My book Delay Ageing: Healthy to 100, published in 2020, explains the latest ageing science in an accessible way.

It’s been rated 5-star and I am sure you will get a lot of benefit from it, as so many have already.
