Broccoli and Avocado Slow Down Aging

New research suggests that eating broccoli, cabbage, and avocado can help slow down the aging process as they contain a compound called NMN. NMN helps slow physical signs of aging, rejuvenates metabolism, and reduces weight gain and vision deterioration. Tests on mice at the Washington University School of Medicine showed that NMN reduced typical signs of aging and resembled the metabolism and energy levels of younger mice. This research casts new light on the mystery of how metabolism changes over time and reduces energy levels.

Broccoli and avocado slow down aging

Help may be at hand for those of us who want to keep the wrinkles and grey hair at bay and slow
down the process of aging. New research suggests that eating green vegetables can ward off the
signs of aging. Researchers say that broccoli, cabbage and avocado in particular contain a
compound that helps slow down the rate at which we age. The key compound, present in green
fruit and vegetables, is called NMN. It helps slow down the physical signs of getting old.
Scientists say NMN can also rejuvenate the metabolism. It helps replenish levels of energy
production in our body that deteriorate as we age. It also helps reduce weight gain and the
deterioration of vision.

The research was conducted by scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in the
USA. Researcher professor Shinichiro Imai said: "We have shown a way to slow the
physiological decline that we see in aging mice. This means older mice have metabolism and
energy levels resembling that of younger mice." Professor Imai said tests on mice showed that
NMN reduced typical signs of aging, including a decline in the strength of skeletal muscle, poor
liver function, lower bone density and weakening eyesight. The reason our metabolism changes
over time and leads to reduced energy levels has baffled scientists for decades. This latest
research casts new light on this mystery.
