Love our hormones for anti aging but healthy eating is a must as well

We are what we eat, which is good news because it means we have the power. We could expect that changing from a typical diet to a more optimized way of eating starting at age 20 would increase the lifespan of women by about 11 years and men by 13. Now, for those who aren’t 20 anymore, not to worry. Starting to eat more healthfully at age 60 could still add 8 or 9 more years to your lifespan. Even beginning to optimize your diet as late as age 80 could add years!

Eating more legumes— more beans, split peas, chickpeas, and lentils—may give us the largest life expectancy gains. So, if you do only one thing, eat legumes for longevity. But why stop there? Add more whole grains and nuts, and eat less meat.

Changing your health destiny and longevity can start at your next meal.

More than a dozen randomized controlled trials have been published on zinc lozenges for the common cold, and, overall, researchers have found that oral zinc, when taken within the first 24 hours of symptom onset, may be beneficial in reducing both duration and severity of the common cold. Zinc lozenges appear to shorten colds by about three days and significantly reduce nasal discharge, congestion, hoarseness, and cough.

What’s the best way to take zinc for the common cold? Lozenges containing around 10 to 15 milligrams of zinc taken every two waking hours for a few days, starting immediately upon symptom onset, as either zinc acetate or zinc gluconate without binders (such as citric acid, tartaric acid, glycine, sorbitol, or mannitol) may work best.

Supplementing with zinc long-term doesn't appear to reduce getting sick in the first place, though. We should instead focus on including healthy whole-food sources of zinc in our diet by eating foods such as legumes, nuts, and seeds.
