We all know that exercise has many benefits for our health, but did you know that those benefits could likely be due to changes in DNA methylation?

Multiple studies now point towards epigenetic modification as the underlying mechanism of the health benefits of exercise. By acting through various pathways such as DNA methylation, histone modification, and non-coding RNA expression, exercise may prevent inflammation, mitigate disease risk, and lead to healthy metabolic remodeling.

And as we have found in our own epigenetic aging trial, a multimodal intervention approach that includes physical activity can be a powerful anti-aging tool. This is why daily exercise is an essential component of our 3 Years Younger program.

Great resume on Quercetin! 2021 flavonoid/antioxidant!

Quercetin is a powerful methylation adaptogen known to epigenetically enhance BRCA1 expression (potentially reducing the risk of breast cancer). It's also a known antihistamine, can help lower cholesterol and protect against viruses, and it is a senolytic compound, too, meaning it helps ward off old age.

The skin of apples are rich in quercetin - maybe that's why an apple a day keeps the doctor away?
