| 1 | Be Optimal | "Try It Now" - Most Effective Way To REGROW Mitochondria & REVERSE AGI... | 2453 | 41 | 9 | 65.5 | negative | 12:51 | All of these people were kind of couch potatoes, sedentary. They did not exercise a lot. Guess what? You're a f***ing idiot. Gurs, their walk in endurance improved by 60 meters. The researchers actually gave mine a peer to older people who took the uralithin A, a supplement every day for four months, or placebo. And these are people who were just average physical shape and endurance. The researchers measured their mitochondrial function at the beginning. Not so. And after four months, guess what they found. The people who took the uralithin A supplement, the mine a peer had better endurance. They had more energy generated by their muscles. Their mitochondrial function was better in blood tests. And then they actually biopsied their muscle. That's a pretty serious clinical trial. Meet William W. Lee, a Harvard trained physician, medical researcher, and best-selling author, who studies how the body protects and heals itself. He is also the president of the Angiogenesis Foundation. In his books, Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet, he explains that the right foods can help protect cells, support mitochondria, the body's energy producers, and improve overall health. His main message is simple. The foods we eat every day can help our bodies stay stronger, healthier, and more energetic. Why your mitochondria are dying? Aging does not mean that you have to decline. I'm gonna start by talking about something called mitochondria. You may have heard about mitochondria already. And if you haven't, I wanna tell you, these are little engines that are inside your cells and their powerhouses, all right? They're like batteries inside yourself. They generate all the energy that your cell needs, that your body relies on in order to be able to move. And to run all the processes in your body, all right? And when the mitochondria are fresh, just like a fresh battery, they can hold and deliver a lot of energy. But as you get older, just like an older battery, all right, those batteries can wear down, they can lose a lot of their power, right? Like an old battery's in a flashlight, right? The light isn't so bright anymore. And your energy can start to fade in your body as your mitochondria get older. When old mitochondrial that are not working that well start to pile up, well, guess what? Your body has a hard time actually generating the energy. This decline in mitochondrial health, we're starting to realize is one of the underlying causes of fatigue and muscle weakness. And actually it may wind up being behind underlying a growing number of age-related diseases. To understand why this supplement is getting so much attention, we first need to understand the real problem. The mitochondrial dysfunction. Think of mitochondria as the tiny batteries inside your cells. When those batteries are new and healthy, everything runs smoothly. Your body produces plenty of energy, your muscles feel strong, and your brain stays sharp. But as the years go by, those cellular batteries begin to wear out, just like an old phone battery that no longer holds a charge, aging mitochondria become weaker and less efficient. Your cells can't produce energy the way they used to. When this happens, you may start to notice symptoms such as muscle weakness and loss of strength, brain fog and difficulty concentrating, low energy and reduced stamina, visible signs of aging, including wrinkles and sagging skin. For a long time, scientists believe this decline was simply a normal part of getting older, something we had to accept. But research over the past few decades has revealed something fascinating. Your body actually has a built-in repair system designed to deal with damaged mitochondria. This process is called mitophagy. Mitophagy acts like a cellular cleanup crew, identifying worn-out mitochondria, breaking them down and clearing them away so your cells can replace them with new, healthier ones. And when this process works properly, it can help restore cellular energy, support healthier aging, and keep your body functioning more efficiently. Your body can make a natural substance, it's called uralithin A, that can help charge your batteries up, it can help your mitochondria perform better. And the way it does it is by cleaning up all the old, broken down, worn out, not so good mitochondria, right? So it's like taking all those old batteries out of your flashlight and tossing them out and adding new ones back in. Human studies. But it turns out human studies have looked at this and researchers at the Amizentis and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Switzerland, they did a clinical trial. In fact, they did a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial by looking at 66 healthy adults said in Terry. So people were not moving around a lot, these are not athletes, okay? Couch potato, let's call it, and they were between the ages of 40 and 64, right in that middle age range, and they asked, what is the effect if you gave these couch potatoes between the ages of 40 and 64, some uralithin A, their body makes it by itself, but what if we gave them the uralithin A to charge them up? So what they did, they gave half of the subjects, uralithin A as an oral supplement, and they gave the other half of people a placebo, they did every day for four months, all right, and the results, striking in the group that got the uralithin A, okay? And remember, I told you the body makes it by itself, but in this case, they gave supplements to actually boost the uralithin A, guess what? People taking uralithin A, their muscle strength, increased by 12%, while as placebo group, no change in muscle strength at all. They got 12% extra muscle strength just by taking the uralithin A supplement. The other thing they did is they actually found the people who were taking the uralithin A had better walking endurance, right? So think about it, you're going for a walk on a long side walk, okay? More hike, or eventually you're gonna get tired. Well, walking endurance is how far you can go, and it turns out that people who took the uralithin A, and remember, all of these people were kind of couch potato, sedentary. They did not exercise a lot. Guess what? Uralithin A takers, if they're walking endurance, improved by 60 meters. Now you might say, what does that mean? I can't picture 60 meters. Well, imagine a 20 story building, 20 story side, tipped on its side, and walking the length of that building. That's how much more endurance, the people with uralithin A supplement actually had, and that makes total sense. If you take uralithin A, it helps to clear out all the old junky batteries, so that new batteries can be put in to the body. Guess what? You're gonna have fresh batteries. The star supplement, uralithin A, midopure. So the other thing is, I told you, not everyone's gut bacteria work the same way. Some people are not good metabolizers of a lager tanis, and that's where you can actually get benefit from taking a uralithin A supplement. There's one called midopure. If you want more energy, it might be a good idea to take it at any how, and it's been studied in human studies and shown to boost mitochondrial function like the way that I told you about earlier. But this is what you want from a supplement. You want to know that it actually works in clinical trials for actually done. So one of the trials, researchers actually gave my appear to older people who took the uralithin A supplement every day for four months or placebo, and these are people who were just average physical shape and endurance. The researchers measured their mitochondrial function at the beginning, not so good. So they were like suboptimal mitochondrial function. These people were not feeling particularly energetic. They, you know, they were a little fatigued before they started to study. Then they gave them the uralithin A might appear, and after four months, guess what they found. The people who took the uralithin A supplement, they might appear had better endurance. They had more energy generated by their muscles. Their mitochondrial function was better in blood tests, and then they actually biopsy their muscle. That's a pretty serious clinical trial, all right? And when they biopsy their muscle, guess what they found? They found that the gene expression, in other words, at the cellular level, that the people who took the uralithin A, they had more mitochondrial genes that were activated as well. That's pretty definitive, all right? And by the way, the uralithin A stimulated in mitochondria worked even better if you combine the supplement with exercise. Exercise stimulates your mitochondria as well, all right? So, clinical trials works well. It's pretty amazing, I think, for activating your mitochondria. The compound that has scientists, including researchers like William Lee, particularly excited, is called uralithin A. But here's something interesting, you usually don't get uralithin A directly from food. Instead, it's what scientists call a postbiotic. That means it's created inside your body when certain gut bacteria break down natural compounds found in foods such as pomegranates, walnuts, and berries. In other words, these foods provide the raw materials and your gut microbes convert them into uralithin A. However, there's a catch. Research suggests that more than 60% of people don't have enough of the specific gut bacteria needed to produce uralithin A efficiently. So even if someone eats pomegranates or berries regularly, their body may produce very little of this compound. That's one reason scientists became interested in a supplement form known as midopure. By delivering uralithin A directly, it bypasses the need for those specific gut bacteria and ensures the body receives the compound in a form that has been clinically studied for supporting mitochondrial health. A people who took uralithin A supplement, okay, which clears away all the junk and leaves room for pneumaticondria, their oxygen efficiency, their VO2 max, rose by 7% as well. When they looked at mitochondrial health, how healthy were the mitochondria? Uralithin A takers actually had 22% increase in the health of the mitochondria. Makes sense, right? Out with the old, in with the new 22% healthier. And then the research has measured something called isocarnitine, all right? Now isocarnitine is a marker of how the body burns fat for energy, all right? And guess what? The isocarnitine levels dropped by 14%. All right? So uralithin A takers had more efficient ways of using their fat. They didn't naturally need to actually burn fat by, you know, pedal to the metal. They could actually take it easy and still have efficient fat metabolism. And that's because they had better mitochondrial function. And then finally, the researchers looked at a blood marker called C reactor protein, all right? CRP, you might have heard about CRP, it's something that your functional doctor should be measuring. It's a measure, it's a, it reflects how much inflammation your, is your body? Uralithin A takers, guess what? Their CRP levels dropped by 16%. All right? That means that uralithin A is also anti-inflammatory as well. That's really interesting, right? Well, and the reason I'm telling you is because I was skeptical about uralithin A supplements that might have congrier for a long time. But I'm a scientist and really a good scientist always starts with having an open mind. So you might be skeptical about something, but let's look at the data. And I just show you the data. Uralithin A actually improves human parameters that you can measure that reflect better mitochondria and less inflammation. Just a quick, friendly note.

| 2 | Be Optimal | "Try It For 1 Day" - Most Effective Way To REGROW Stem Cells & Longev... | 128686 | 2047 | 81 | 65.4 | neutral | 14:38 | Humans regenerate using stem cells that come from the womb. So when we were developing in the womb, we were only stem cells. When we were born, we had extra stem cells. Did you know that the drinks you choose can actually boost your stem cells and help you live longer? Curious to find out which ones? Stick around. Because in this video, we're revealing the top three drinks that can supercharge your body's natural healing powers. Thanks to the groundbreaking research of Dr. William Lee. Trust me, you won't want to miss this. Meet Dr. William Lee, a world-renowned medical doctor and researcher with Harvard training. Dr. Lee is also a New York Times best-selling author, celebrated for his book E2B disease. Recently, he released another insightful book titled E2B your diet. Number one, hot chocolate. Dark chocolate. But I will tell you that cacao has been shown to actually double the number of stem cells flowing in your bloodstream just by having two cups of hot chocolate made with 80% high flavonal chocolate. Yeah, that's been done in people six years old with heart disease. The polyphenols in this dark chocolate that we know what they are. They're called pro-anthocyanidine. So I'm assigned to so, my job is actually know what are inside chemicals actually are. These are natural chemicals, all right? Most people don't need to know that, but you drink it and it tastes good. That's all you need to know. But I'll tell you, these natural chemicals found in cacao actually trigger a reaction in your body so that they call out the stem cells. So it is literally like bees flying out of a hive. Can double the number of stem cells and what's the practical impact? Well, there was a study done at UCSF in San Francisco that looked at 60-year-old men with heart disease. So these are people whose blood vessels were already not doing so well and their blood flow wasn't going so well either and their blood vessels were kind of sick. That's kind of the definition of heart disease. By having the stem cells coming out, they were able to actually double the resiliency, the function of their blood vessels. So they got better rebound, the better agility, their blood vessels are in better shape because their stem cells are regenerating their circulation. Wow. So this is human studies, right? Like most of the time you hear about scientists talking about rats or mice or cells, I'm talking about human studies. And that's kind of where we are with food is medicine. Many people think of chocolate as just a sweet treat, but real dark chocolate made from cacao actually contains powerful natural compounds called flavanols that can support your health in surprising ways. Flavanols are plant nutrients found in cacao beans. These compounds help your body in several important ways. First, they improve blood flow. Flavanols help your blood vessels relax and widen allowing oxygen and nutrients to move more easily throughout your body. Better circulation supports heart health, brain function and overall energy levels. Second, flavanols help reduce inflammation. Chronic inflammation is linked to many modern health problems, including heart disease, diabetes and aging related conditions. By calming inflammation, dark chocolate may help protect your body over time. Scientists have also discovered that cacao flavanols may support the body's natural repair system, including stem cells. Stem cells act like your body's internal repair crew, helping replace damaged or aging cells with new, healthy ones. Some studies suggest that regularly consuming high flavanol cacao can increase circulating stem cells, which may support healing and regeneration. Dark chocolate is also rich in antioxidants. These compounds protect your cells from oxidative stress, a process caused by free radicals that can damage cells and accelerate aging. This means that a warm cup of hot chocolate made with real, high cacao chocolate isn't just comforting. It can also support heart health, brain performance and long-term wellness when enjoyed in moderation. The key is choosing dark chocolate with high cacao content, 70% or more and limiting added sugar. So, when made the right way, hot chocolate becomes more than a dessert, it becomes a small daily habit that nourishes both body and mind. How to make hot chocolate healthier? Hot chocolate can be more than just a sweet comfort drink. It can also be a healthy choice if you prepare it the right way. To get the most health benefits, start by choosing unsweetened cocoa powder or a dark chocolate bar that contains at least 70-73% cacao. The higher the cacao content, the more beneficial plant compounds and antioxidants your drink will contain. Instead of using sugary mixes, prepare your hot chocolate with hot water or unsweetened almond milk. Almond milk adds a smooth, creamy texture while keeping the drink light and lower in calories. This helps you enjoy the richness of chocolate without excess sugar or fat. Many traditional hot chocolates include whipped cream and added sugar, but these extras can reduce the health benefits by adding unnecessary calories. Skipping them allows you to enjoy chocolate in a more balanced and nourishing way. If you still want extra flavor, you can enhance your drink naturally. A pinch of cinnamon adds warmth and may help support blood sugar balance, while a few drops of vanilla extract give natural sweetness without added sugar. These small additions make the drink taste indulgent while still supporting your health goals. In simple terms, a healthier hot chocolate is about keeping it simple and natural. Choose real cacao, avoid excess sugar, use healthier liquids, add natural flavors instead of sugary toppings. Prepare this way, hot chocolate becomes a comforting drink you can enjoy while also supporting your overall wellness. Number two, pomegranate juice. Pomegranate juice is something different to your gut microbiome because the the ruby red seeds of pomegranate which you know you get are used to make juice are contained something called a lager tenons. These are natural chemicals are so beautiful and they taste great. You can put them into a salad. There's lots of different ways you can you can do them, but when you juice them, one of the things that is wonderful is to be able to press the juice through the skin and because there's a lager tenons in the skin as well, so you get a lot more. You get like the knock out punch of these lager tenons when you juice with the skin. Now, what does that do? Those lager tenons in your body when you drink it. They, well first of all, they're also cancer starting. They're also antioxidant. They also lower inflammation, but one of the great things about they do is they stimulate your gut to secrete healthy mucus. And that's normal. It sounds a little gross, but actually our gut likes to stimulate, that leaves like some make mucus and the bacteria love to grow in the mucus. The bacteria growing in ucus in our gut is like flowers growing in a flower bed that's been properly fertilized. They sprout, they bloom, they really they they look great. And that's basically what a pomegranate juice actually doesn't our gut. It helps these bacteria grow really well. One of the bacteria grows really well is called acrimacia. Acrimacia, mu sinophila, mu sin like, like mucus. And that bacteria is a guardian of our health. It helps our immune system. It helps us fight cancer. It actually even appears to be able to help kind of make blood sugars good to be able to help control and prevent diabetes. And so that's a function that a simple juice that's delicious to drink and easy to make like pomegranate juice is so valuable. Pomegranate juice is not only refreshing and colorful, it is also rich in natural compounds that can support your health in several ways. One of the biggest reasons pomegranate juice is special is because it contains powerful antioxidants called eligitannins. Antioxidants help protect your body's cells from damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. These molecules are created naturally in the body and also come from pollution, stress, and unhealthy lifestyles. Over time, too many free radicals can speed up aging and increase the risk of certain diseases. You can think of eligitannins as tiny protective shields that help defend your cells and keep them functioning properly. Pomegranate juice may also support gut health. Inside your digestive system, live trillions of beneficial bacteria that help with digestion, immunity, and even mood. Eligitannins are converted by these good bacteria into helpful compounds that encourage a healthier gut environment. A balanced gut microbiome strengthens the immune system and supports overall wellness. Researchers have also studied how compounds in pomegranates affect abnormal cell growth. Some laboratory studies suggest these plant compounds may help slow the growth of certain cancer cells by interfering with the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow. While this does not mean pomegranate juice cures cancer, it shows how plant-based foods can support the body's natural defense systems. How drinking pomegranate juice can support your health. To get the most benefits, choose 100% pure pomegranate juice with no added sugar. The fruit is naturally sweet, and extra sugar can reduce some of the health advantages and add unnecessary calories. A good serving size is about 1 glass, around 8 ounces, or 240 milliliters per day. This amount provides plenty of beneficial nutrients without overdoing sugar intake. You can drink it in different enjoyable ways. Enjoy a plane for a natural energy boost. Mix it with sparkling water for a refreshing, low-gilt drink. Add it to smoothies or other fruit juices for a nutritious breakfast or snack. Number 3. Green tea and black tea. Tea comes from a plant and we know that plant-based foods are good for our health. That's now almost universally recognized. And the leaf of the tea, which is what we steeped from a sort of researcher's perspective, there are thousands of natural chemicals. We call them bio-actives because they interact with our biology and some of the compounds that are natural chemicals are like catechins, gallag acid, athianin, and thiaflavins. And they all wind up in a cup of tea when you brew it. And some of the amazing things that have been shown by research is that drinking tea actually can help prevent our cells from aging. So it's even has a, I'm sure the emperor didn't have the science, but appreciated that anti-aging properties of tea prevents our telomeres from shortening. So we stay our cells stay younger, slow down cellular aging. There's a polyphenol, everybody talks about polyphenols. I like to be specific. So the polyphenol tea that has been best studied in tea is called EGCG. Epegallo, catechin, galleid, EGCG, and green tea has a lot of it because it's closest to what comes off the tea plant. And then everything from that, old teas come from that downstream in terms of how they're prepared. But green tea has, you know, as much as 16 times that EGCG then some of the more processed are handled. Tea is one of the most popular drinks in the world, but it's more than just comforting. Both green tea and black tea contain natural plant compounds that can support your overall health. Green tea is especially known for a powerful compound called EGCG, epigallicatechin, galleid. This natural substance acts as a strong antioxidant. Antioxidants help protect your body cells from damage caused by harmful molecules called free radicals, which are linked to aging and many chronic diseases. EGCG also helps reduce inflammation in the body. Since long-term inflammation can contribute to heart disease, metabolic problems, and other health issues, drinking green tea regularly may help support the body's natural balance and repair processes. Black tea, although processed differently through fermentation, is also very beneficial. During fermentation, the tea leaves develop their own special group of compounds called polyphenols. These plant nutrients help support circulation, hard health, and cellular function. Some research suggests that the polyphenols in tea may also support the body's natural renewal systems, including stem cells, which help repair and replace damaged cells. While tea is not a medical treatment, it can support the body's natural maintenance and healing processes. Green tea and black tea can be very healthy drinks, but how you prepare them can make a difference in how much benefit your body receives. Health experts often suggest drinking about two to three cups of green or black tea per day. This amount provides a good supply of natural antioxidants without overdoing caffeine. You can enjoy tea, hot or cold, depending on your preference, both offer similar health benefits. To make your tea even healthier, you can add simple natural ingredients. A squeeze of lemon helps your body absorb antioxidants more effectively. Vitamin C and lemon protects these beneficial compounds and allows your body to use them better. A small amount of fresh ginger adds flavor and provides extra anti-inflammatory properties, which may help support digestion and overall wellness. It's best to avoid adding sugar because excess sugar adds unnecessary calories and reduces the healthy impact of the drink. Many people also add milk, but some studies suggest milk proteins may slightly reduce how well certain tea antioxidants are absorbed by the body. In simple terms, a healthier tea routine looks like this. Drink two to three cups daily. Enjoy it hot or iced. Add lemon or ginger for extra benefits. Skip sugar and limit milk. Prepared this way, tea becomes more than just a relaxing beverage. It turns into a simple, daily habit that supports hard health, reduces inflammation, and helps protect your cells over time. | ↗ |
