  • That's clinically proven to increase NAD+ levels in the body and in collaboration with Miss Beauty file

  • This is a picture of Jen Calma at the age of 22 in 1897 she was born in

  • 1876 the same here as the Battle of the Little Bighorn that saw the US Army defeated by Native American tribes on the western frontier

  • The next year of her life saw Samurai revolt against the Japanese government and by the time

  • She was 39 Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been assassinated sparking the first world war by the time

  • she was 114 she witnessed the collapse of the Berlin Wall and by the time of her death in 1997 at the age of

  • 122 years she achieved the longest lifespan of a human ever recorded

  • everybody has dreamt at some point of living a long life or even an infinite life and

  • Science has helped with us through the last century with inventions like vaccines and antibiotics

  • These have helped to dramatically raise humanity's life expectancy at birth across the world like in the United States

  • where between

  • 1900 and 2010 life expectancy increased from just 47.3 years up to 78.7 years

  • But further improvements in life expectancy have been slowing lately as medicine has struggled to find cures for more complicated diseases

  • Because of overdoses, alcoholism, suicide and the opioid crisis

  • 2016 was the first year since 1993 that saw a decline in the American life expectancy

  • Even still life expectancy in the long run is still increasing around the world and it's unknown currently how far the limit can be pushed

  • scientists in search of increasing human lifespan point to other organisms with

  • Dramatically longer lifespans than our own like some giant tortoises that can reach near 200 years and some small freshwater

  • Animals of the genus Hydra that appear not to age at all one study from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine suggested that

  • 125 years is the maximum age limit that a human could ever reach.

  • While other scientists like Aubrey de Grey believe the limit could be pushed much further up to even

  • 1,000 years all of these claims have been met with a fair amount of skepticism

  • So it seems that nobody

  • Really knows just how far human lifespan can be pushed because of this uncertainty what's become much more important lately

  • to many scientists instead is

  • focusing on an

  • Individual's health span the part of your life where you're healthy there is data

  • That suggests that most people alive now would be content with having the current expected lifespan

  • But with an improved health span because chronic diseases become more common the older you get

  • Increasing a person's lifespan alone likely won't do much to increase their quality of life

  • Instead improving an individual's health span will add much more value to their life

  • There are already several different products on the market right now targeting different

  • Biological pathways that scientists are researching to determine if they can support healthspan

  • It's important to understand however that all of this is new research

  • And that these products are not interchangeable

  • with that being said one of these products is metformin an FDA approved drug that treats type 2

  • diabetes when used in trials on mice and roundworms the drug improved both their health spans and lifespans

  • And it's currently undergoing human trials, but other ways supporting healthspan may not require medication at all though

  • There are three interesting areas of research to highlight here first a recent study found that when mice were allowed to eat only at certain

  • Times during the day their metabolisms became healthier when this fasting diet was applied to humans who only consumed between

  • 700 to 1100 calories for a period of time each month in lowered blood pressure and reduced the hormone igf-1

  • Which is linked to both aging and disease.

  • There's also the technology behind genome editing with CRISPR-Cas9

  • Which is essentially capable of turning good genes on and bad ones off

  • If your genes are like a school essay assignment then CRISPR-Cas9 is like the spell check that can edit and correct them.

  • This technology could specifically target genes that are associated with aging

  • Finally another method and hot topic for research is by improving NAD+ levels later in your life

  • Nad is a coenzyme inside every cell of your body

  • Which scientists believe is one of the most important factors for DNA health, energy creation, circadian rhytm regulation and hundreds of other vital functions.

  • They can be found in every living cell

  • But as you get older your levels naturally begin to decline further and further there are many

  • preclinical and human trials being planned right now for the NAD+ pathway

  • But in order to try improving health span in the future will need trials for additional methods as well

  • We don't know how the limits are right now

  • But I think that's a cause for optimism because the answer might only be limited by our imagination

  • Everybody deserves to live as healthy a life as possible so if you're interested in learning more about the in-depth science going on behind

  • Raising your NAD+ levels you can do so by visiting elysiumhealth.com and try their dietary supplement basis based on human clinical trials

  • People that took the recommended dose of basis saw their nad levels increase by 40%

  • Basis as a supplement designed for long-term use is

  • Third-party tested for purity and is based on over 25 years worth of research

  • NAD+ is essential to the health of your cells and basis will help increase

  • NAD+ levels in your body by clicking the link in the description below

  • You can order a single bottle with a month supply of pills or schedule routine monthly deliveries

  • I'm incredibly grateful to have had Elysium sponsor this video

  • There are perfect match of a hard science and research based product to have on this channel and video

  • So if you'd like to support RealLifeLore and are curious to learn more I once again

  • Strongly encourage you to click the link in the description to learn more at ElysiumHealth.com
