7 Foods You Should Be Eating After You Reach the Age of 50

today we're going to discuss the seven foods you should be eating after you reach the age of 50 and of course I'm almost there I'm 49 being very sarcastic I'm 59 and I eat a lot of these Foods I'm going to share with you but I really want to talk about why you should be eating these Foods first obviously you want to eat foods that will help to extend longevity right so we should probably use a longevity expert we're going to talk about Dr David Sinclair he's one of the leading experts on longevity he actually

studies these genes called cerin cerin basically are longevity genes one of the things that will increase cerin is called n NAD is inside your mitochondria converting food to energy then pushing it down the assembly line till eventually it helps recharge a certain battery as we age our NAD goes down at midlife they're down like 50% a lot of the anti-aging experts out there are educating people about boosting this NAD there's a lot of supplements out there that help boost the NAD people are getting injections I think even David Sinclair came up with his own supplement

there's a whole bunch of drama on that which I'm not going to get into but all of those compounds have this basic derivative of where they come from and that is plain old simple nin which is B3 then the question is why not just take more nin niin is so inexpensive that's not the whole picture but it's one piece of the puzzle there are other reasons and I'm going to get to those but I first want to show you a very interesting book now what does this book have to do with nasin well let me

explain in the late 1800s in early 1900s there is a disease that was rampant called pgra for many years they thought it was an infection but to make a long story short it wasn't an infection it was a man-made thing they isolated it comes from consuming a diet of just corn so apparently in corn niin B3 is locked up and so when you just Mash this corn up and live on a diet of corn which a lot of people did you end up with pgra but wait a second I thought corn has been around for

a long time like the aects consume corn products and they to our knowledge didn't get pgra and that is because they Ed a special technique of adding lime which is kind of a calcium carbonate and they would soak their corn overnight and this alkalized water allowed the nasin to be freed up but of course in the late 1800s and the early 1900s they omitted that little step of adding line I want to show you another book it's called n the real story fascinating book by an author named Dr Abram Hofer he was also a biochemist

I want to read you the first line out of the first chapter many people have no idea how many illnesses are caused by two little niin in particularly no one realizes how many diseases can be cured with mega doses of nasin now Dr Hofer was one of the doctors who started the orthomolecular Medicine Group where they use high doses of nutrients to create therapeutic dosage to correct all sorts of body problems but in this book they talk about how nasin is the building block the precursor for the NAD which is everything to do with allowing

the modal condrea to work now that we have the basics down now we need to talk about why does NAD decrease as we age I don't want to go into a lot of details on that but I will just tell you one of the molecules is called c38 if you want to look it up so as we get older the c38 increases and then our our NAD goes down so today we're going to talk about all the foods that can increase the NAD so let's start with number one what will be the first one well

let's first talk about the food that has the most niin okay that would be very important as well right what food has the most niin if you look it up on chat GPT it will give you the incorrect answer in fact I had an argument with cha Chi going back and forth because the first food that it gave me that has the most nin was chicken and I'm like that's not true the right answer would be beef liver okay but number two is the food that they are telling you to avoid which is really wild

and that would be grassfed red meat it's loaded not just with nin B3 but so many other of the B vitamins and so so many other nutrients that can help you live a long healthy life chicken is not at the top of the list okay chicken is very high in omega-6 fatty acids it's inflammatory it's lower on the list but it does have some niin but organ Meats red meat okay if you've been watching my channel you know I recommend red meat for a lot of people a lot of conditions I consume it as the

the main protein in my diet for many reasons and now you know one is just niin getting enough nin now some people are not going to eat organ meats or red meat well then have nutritional yeast okay all right number three foods that have probiotics or microbes and that would be sauerkraut and the reason sauerkraut is at the top of the list and I'm talking about raw sauerkraut sauerkraut has a good amount of niin and if you can get the sauerkraut that is the from the purple cabbage you'll get even something better and of course

certain types of yogurt you really want to make sure you get a quality yogurt or better yet just make your own number four parsley I personally don't like parsley so I might have it as a spice but also celery and even chamomile tea and also as a side note and and this is not part of the list sulfurane in cruciferous vegetables especially broccoli sprouts and radish Sprouts so if you could put some of that on your salad or even consume any of the cruciferous vegetables you are going to get a good amount of sulfurane to

increase your NAD and of course cruciferous also do a lot of other things too they can help you Det toxify chemicals and they do multiple additional things as well okay next compound and then we'll talk about the foods is anthocyanins those would be in anything kind of blue and purple okay like blueberries like blackberries and purple cabbage which I mentioned is part of the sauerkraut and of course you also have the grape as well but they're a bit sweet the Blackberry and the blueberry are a little bit better and the purple cabbage is also awesome

all right next one in the list is curcumin from turmeric okay and I think one of the best ways to consume that is through curries okay curries unfortunately a lot of the curries add so much sugar so if you made a curry with certain types of grass-fed lamb for example that would be awesome or even grass-fed beef you would get exactly what you need all right number six we need to boost coratin okay and the food that has the most coratin is onions I live on onions I consume onions on a daily basis with my

eggs with my red meat and so you're going to get a lot of corsin when you have onions all right and number seven omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA and this food would be wild caught salmon but it's other things too you can do any of the fatty fishes you can also do what I like to do at least once a week or even twice a week is consume cod liver in a can wild CAU Cod Liver I love it but I'll just have the Cod Liver itself but also there's so many other benefits with

omega-3 fatty acids you're going to help reduce inflammation and also the cod liver oil has not just this omega-3 fatty acid but it also has vitamin A and vitamin D so thanks for watching and I will see you in the next video
