Dear Health Conscious Reader,
People in Japan live longer than people in just about any other part of the world.
The life span of the average Japanese person is nearly 83 years. But the average American lives to be only a little over 78 years old.
So I set out to find out what their secret was.
There’s one big difference between the Japanese and the Americans … maybe the biggest that I’ve discovered. And it’s very simple, will make you feel better and you can start today.
The Japanese consume a powerful antioxidant almost every day. It goes by the name of epigallocatechin-3-gallate – or EGCG for short.
Most Americans get little or no EGCG in the foods they eat. So they lack the strong antioxidant cellular protection EGCG provides. The Japanese, on the other hand, get EGCG all the time in the form of green tea.
So what makes EGCG so special?
Well, researchers first discovered evidence of a “longevity gene” about 20 years ago. It’s a gene that may increase your life span. There’s a few ways you can turn on this “longevity gene.” One way is by calorie restriction.
Researchers found that giving mice a diet with very few calories significantly extended their life spans.1 Later studies found the same was true with a wide range of living creatures from single-celled organisms to plants and animals. The results showed that taking in fewer calories does turn on the longevity gene, and the organisms live longer.2
It wasn’t until recently an explanation was found. Researchers isolated a family of life-protecting genes called sirtuins (silent information protein regulators).
Under conditions of severe stress, such as starvation, the sirtuins are turned on. And they transmit signals to every cell in your body to cancel out the effects of aging.
This would be a great solution to aging … if starving were an option.
That’s where EGCG comes in.
EGCG helps switch on your longevity genes similar to restricting your eating. Mentioned in the medical journal Rejuvenation Research, “The protective effects of high-dose EGCG against oxidative stress were comparable with the effects of caloric restriction, a well-established dietary intervention that retards aging.”
EGCG can also help slow the aging process because it:3,4,5,6
• Zaps harmful free radicals
• Supports DNA, leaving cells stable and healthy
• Helps boost your exercise capacity
• Is 25 to 100 times more potent than vitamins C and E
• Wards off the problems that come with aging
My Anti-Aging Triple Play
Before you grab your tea cup and run to the nearest store to start loading up on green tea, you should know something. Many of the beneficial components of green tea like EGCG are broken down in the intestinal tract. Making them useless to you.
In fact, only about 39 percent of them are bioavailable, according to a recent study in the journal Nutrition.7
You’d have to drink green tea all day to get the right amount of antioxidant cell protection. In fact, some of the studies that show the benefits of green tea have people drinking five or six cups a day!
But during my research into creating an anti-aging solution with the power to turn on your sirtuin genes, I found a pure extract of the tea leaf that contains 50 percent EGCG.
So I took this extract and combined it with two other anti-aging nutrients – resveratrol and SOD – designed to help you feel years younger and help slow the aging process.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in red wine. It turns on your sirtuin genes like EGCG.8 It supports your metabolism and your ability to deal with stress.
SOD is the single most powerful defender your body has against the aging effects of free radicals. I call it your body’s “master antioxidant.” Most people have never heard of SOD but it’s 3,500 times more effective than vitamin C and is powerful against the aging process.
All of these potent anti-aging nutrients make up the formula I call RES-3.
With RES-3, you can restore your levels of SOD, get all the EGCG you’d find in a cup of green tea and more resveratrol than 50 glasses of your average red wine.
And by taking RES-3 every day, you’ll have the unique opportunity to push the envelope of what you can accomplish – no matter what your age or where you live.
To Your Good Health,
