Q&A

• Which key molecules found in red meat, spirulina, and fatty fish improve mitochondrial function and protect DNA?

  Carnosine from red meat, FICO cyanin from spirulina, and EPA and DHA fatty acids from salmon, sardines, and cod liver oil all contribute to improving mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and protecting DNA.

• What important molecules are found in red meat and their associated benefits?

  Red meat contains molecules like ELC carnitine, which helps burn fat and preserve muscle protein, and carnosine, which restores mitochondrial damage, buffers pH, and reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.

• What is the impact of polyphenols and co-enzyme Q10 on gut microbiome and mitochondrial function?

  Polyphenols can reduce oxidative free radical damage and inflammation, while co-enzyme Q10 is essential for mitochondrial function and ATP production. Statin medication can affect co-enzyme Q10 levels and may result in muscle issues without supplementing co-enzyme Q10.

• Why is extra precaution necessary when consuming chocolate and cheese together?

  Consuming chocolate and cheese together may require extra precaution as the calcium in cheese can help reduce the absorption of oxalates from chocolate. Both chocolate and cheese contain important molecules like polyphenols and magnesium.

• How can one minimize the drawbacks of consuming chocolate?

  Choosing high-cocoa chocolate over regular chocolate can help minimize sugar intake and reduce potential health risks associated with high sugar content and oxalates found in chocolate.

• What is the significance of PQQ in relation to longevity?

  PQQ is a powerful molecule that increases mitochondria count, aids in energy transfer, and is essential for brain function and cognitive health. It is found in cacao, cocoa, and chocolate, and its consumption is linked to potential longevity benefits.

• 00:00 The seven foods with potential longevity benefits support mitochondria function, which impacts lifespan. PQQ is a powerful molecule that increases mitochondria count and aids in energy transfer. Physics is involved in the process of creating a battery within the mitochondria.
• 01:08 PQQ, found in cacao and cocoa, is crucial for brain function. Chocolate contains a significant amount of PQQ, but can be high in sugar and oxalates. Opt for high-cocoa chocolate to minimize sugar intake.
• 02:02 Consuming chocolate and cheese together may require extra precaution, as the calcium in cheese can help reduce the absorption of oxalates from chocolate. Chocolate contains polyphenols and high magnesium, which are also found in berries, grass-fed meat, and grass-fed cheese.
• 03:04 Summary: The impact of polyphenols and co-enzyme Q10 on gut microbiome and mitochondrial function. Statins can affect co-enzyme Q10 levels and may require supplementation.
• 04:04 Eating red meat provides important molecules for antioxidant capacity, fat burning, and mitochondrial health. These molecules include ELC carnitine and carnosine.
• 05:02 Key molecules Carnosine, FICO cyanin, EPA, and DHA found in red meat, spirulina, and fatty fish like salmon and sardines, improve mitochondrial function and protect DNA. Avoiding the dangerous food can extend lifespan.
