Live A Longer and Healthier Life with LifeWave Y-Age Carnosine

Recently in Natural Health News I read that most natural health practitioners would argue that the process of aging is nothing more than a normal process whereby cells deteriorate at a predetermined rate controlled by genetics and heredity. However, in opposition there is a rapidly growing body of research and documented evidence to indicate that aging is a product of many varied lifestyle choices including physical activity, smoking, and most importantly, the type of diet we regularly consume.

In addition to being a potent cellular antioxidant, carnosine exhibits a number of other unique capabilities that help  to prevent injury to tissues and organ structures. These actions improve cardiovascular performance to protect against stroke, heart disease, dementia, and increased susceptibility to cancer. Researchers publishing in the journal, Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry demonstrates that carnosine from supplements can help protect against a first stroke, and can significantly lower the damage caused by stroke.

Researchers have demonstrated that carnosine is particularly effective in providing multi-targeted protection to the heart and blood vessels through age-inducing processes such as oxidation, protein cross-linking, telomere shortening, and heavy metal accumulation in tissues. Carnosine protects against ischemia or loss of blood flow to the heart muscle, preventing the devastating effect that leads to a heart attack.

A study team from the University of Glasgow in Scotland has released  in the journal Biochemistry to explain the importance of carnosine in the development and progression of cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease in aging adults. They noticed that dementia patients displayed lower levels of carnosine in their brains and spinal fluid than those of other older adults, and found that the condition results from multiple factors, virtually all of which have some connection to carnosine and its function in the brain.

The researchers demonstrated that those parts of the brain that are first affected in early Alzheimer’s disease are the same in which carnosine is normally found in the highest concentrations. As carnosine levels fall with age, those brain areas become the most vulnerable to Alzheimer’s-related damage. Carnosine is known to bind with zinc in the brain, ushering them away from delicate tissues and preventing abnormal accumulation. Increase blood levels of Carnosine and cellular saturation are needed to halt protein cross-linking and the characteristic neurofibrillary tangles so frequently associated with the disease.

A growing number in the scientific community believe that Carnosine is capable of defending against cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, cognitive decline, and dementia.
