let’s talk about nutrients and your life

spanned how much have been influenced do

nutrients have on how long you live the

first thing to know is that you are as

strong as your weakest link okay

how do people die nowadays either they

get cancer heart attack their kidneys

fail to end up with a respiratory

infection that they die of some lung

infection so there’s various weaknesses

within our bodies that fail and then

that shorten our lifespan so if we dig

down into what makes up an organ and or

and is you have the DNA so really what’s

happening at the cellular level as

you’re getting DNA damage okay you’re

getting breaks within the DNA and then

what’s happening is your body’s trying

to repair it really fast per day each

cell you having about 60,000 sets of DNA

that are being damaged on a daily basis

and your body’s coming in and repairing

that when you fail to repair the damage

or the free radical damage is too strong

then you start aging you start breaking

down in certain organs you start getting

chronic inflammation and it you become

susceptible to getting disease so if you

have two people in a plane okay and one

person gets sick the other person

doesn’t even know that there could be a

virus in the plane that person that got

sick got sick because their resistance

was lower they were more susceptible to

getting that virus or bacteria and this

is what you need to know the importance

of nutrients and keeping your DNA and

your genes stable and strong I’m going

to show you a report by an author Bruce

Ames okay Bruce Ames is 91 years old

he’s a professor of biochemistry and

molecular biology at Berkeley he’s going

strong incredible review DNA damage from

micronutrient deficiencies is likely to

be a major cause of cancer what DNA

damage from micronutrient deficiencies

that would be vitamins and minerals is

likely to be a major cause of cancer

this is what he

a deficiency of any of the

micronutrients folic acid b12 b6 niacin

that’s b3 vitamin C vitamin E iron or

zinc mimics radiation and damaging DNA

Wow so here you have this damaged DNA

from radiation UV light pollution bad

foods etc but I bet you never thought

nutritional deficiencies can cause the

same damage as radiation that’s a pretty

powerful statement but the question is

why because all of these nutrients are

involved in the repair action they’re

involved in keeping the DNA stable and

if you’re missing a nutrient at a

certain level you’re going to be

susceptible to some type of breakdown in

the system

now Bruce Ames also talks about the

triage theory okay now in medicine

triage is this if you have all of these

patients coming in that are sick you

want to be able to delegate your

resources to the ones that need the help

the most okay so you’re actually

rationing out your energy on the most

severe cases okay well guess what the

body does the exact same thing so if you

have a subclinical nutritional

deficiency you’re not fully completely

deficient but you have somewhat of an

efficiency the body’s gonna ration out

those nutrients to the short-term

survival proteins or enzymes okay and

what’s going to suffer is the genes and

enzymes that are involved in longevity

and repair and in this paper Bruce Ames

talks about how these deficiencies sub

clinically shorten your lifespan and set

you up for getting cancer now the

question is what would be some of the

clues or red flags or symptoms of having

a shorter life span or having cancer

there really isn’t any you just one day

you die up a shorter life span or you

just get cancer so there’s not a lot of

symptoms so that means it doesn’t draw a

lot of attention for you to do something

about it

the only way you’re going to know about

this is watching this video and

understanding this you

connection between making sure that you

have all the nutrients in your diet

eating foods that are nutrient dense and

how important that is to bulletproof

your genes and your DNA down the road to

extend your life and hopefully postpone

or prevent cancer so my main goal for

this video is to emphasize the huge

importance of nutrients on your health

and especially longevity and preventing

cancer and other problems down below in

the description I put down a list of the

foods that have the highest nutrients

that you should be eating on a regular

basis check it out and thanks for
