Gustavo Gonzalez, director of the Laboratory of Endocrinology and Reproduction at the University Cayetano Heredia (UPCH). Scientists at the University Cayetano Heredia found that the intake of maca has a powerful anti aging effect. Maca for being a species that grows in inhospitable conditions, has been adapted so that its interior contains powerful substances that have allowed him to live in an environment where nothing grows. For some years, this expert has successfully been studying the benefits of this Andean root, which are attributed properties to improve sexual health, memory and even osteoporosis. Now, Gonzales and his team have discovered that it is also a powerful anti aging food. After evaluating more than 1,200 residents of the community of Carhuamayo in Junin region where maca is native, the team showed that frequent consumption of this plant remains intact health status, even with the passing years. "We found that people who consumed maca could have 65 the same health condition and vitality that a 35 year old, it's like not grow old," says Gonzales. The study measured various markers, including physical and mental health, physical role, vitality, presence of diseases and health in general. "The health status normally decreases with age, but maca has the reverse effect. Older people withstood tests of strength in limbs as if they were young. It's fascinating, "says the expert. UPCH team found that maca reduces levels of interleukin 6, a protein linked to inflammation processes, including aging. Therefore, when the plant is consumed, there is less production of this interleukin and therefore a lower risk of disease appear. "Obesity, cardiovascular disease and even infertility are inflammatory processes. It seems that maca has components that make all these processes, which should be presented as a response to inflammation, do not give, so that health status is maintained. " Undoubtedly, these studies open a new line of research for maca. OUR SCIENTIFIC ASSOCIATE
