I have been supplementing with Vitamin D for quite awhile now, in fact I learned that years ago doctors had patients supplementing daily with higher doses of Vitamin D than what would be considered okay today and for some reason they changed the literature!! Thing is, folks back then didn't experience a lot of ailments we commonly see today and some would attribute that to the intake of Vitamin D supplementation 🤷‍♂️ I encourage EVERYONE to do their own homework on the benefits of supplementing with Vitamin D because it's been a game changer for me. 🤘❤️‍🔥🤘

Researchers found that supplements helped preserve length—a marker of —but experts say and context matter more.

Every morning, millions of people take a vitamin D supplement, thinking mostly about stronger bones and a healthier immune system. However, quietly, at the cellular level, something else may be happening—something that could change how we think about aging.

A long-running study recently found that people who took daily vitamin D supplements for four years had slightly less shortening of their telomeres—a marker linked to cellular aging—than those who didn’t.

While experts caution that the real-world health benefits remain unclear, the findings could shed light on the protective effects of vitamin D on specific aging-related diseases, the study authors noted.

—adults over 80 who have the and of people decades younger—aren’t as rare as you may think.

Despite living in a world that accelerates aging, superagers are defying life expectancy odds. By 2050, the number of people living beyond 80 is anticipated to triple, reaching 426 million worldwide.

Scientists are curious about exactly how this unique demographic manages to evade the ills of time, particularly with burdens like stress and pollution at all-time highs. It may not surprise you to know that the data doesn’t suggest longevity comes from a pill.

One medical school’s ongoing centenarian study confirms that genetic factors play a large role. On the other hand, a National Geographic study of groups of people in blue zones—regions where the world’s longest-living people live—noted lifestyle factors such as the way we move, eat, and socialize impact longevity.

Recently, I met with two women who are superagers, including one who is 104, to develop an Epoch Times list of nine lessons we can learn from those who are aging gracefully.

I was surprised to learn that both women endured rather traumatic experiences in early adulthood. Yet, they persevered because of their mindset and their faith. What a powerful reminder that our physical health is influenced by how we think and feel.

Of course, there are other factors, too, such as the rhythms of rest, time, and movement.

Sister Pacis Bao and Sue Wright revealed some secrets that I didn’t come across in my initial research. Yet, a little more digging on my part found that scientific literature proved their lifestyle choices indeed predict longevity.

While we may not all live to celebrate 100 years, we can certainly improve the quality left in our lives. Read on to meet these inspiring women and, perhaps, like me, you’ll find some lessons that you can put into practice right away.

A diet high in carbs and sugar can lead to insulin resistance…

This happens when blood sugar spikes lead to chronically high insulin levels. Your body then compensates with insulin resistance.

Initial symptoms can ultimately lead to serious conditions like diabetes, dementia, cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

Adopting a low-carb diet and practicing intermittent fasting can help support insulin sensitivity and promote better metabolic health.

If you want to enhance your results, you can:
-Add exercise
-Lower your stress
-Get more sleep
-Get plenty of nutrients through your diet

Trish Wetherell sometimes enjoys a piece of caffeine gum, which gives her a burst of energy without jitters. She may chew it before her CrossFit workouts—a combination of intense weight lifting and cardio.

“If I happen to be dragging a bit, I’ll chew a piece and it gets me through,” she told The Epoch Times. “It gives me that little quick burst that I need.”

Caffeine gum has become a trend in recent years, even reaching teenagers.

Dr. Hannah Hays, chief of toxicology at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, told The Epoch Times that she recently heard a mom say her high school-age son frequently rides his bike to the gas station just to buy caffeine gum.

Data published by Growth Market Reports show the caffeine gum market—currently at $320 million in annual sales—is projected to grow 7.2 percent annually through 2033, reaching an estimated $1.37 billion in sales. An increasing focus on health, a surge in sports and fitness activities, and a growing preference for on-the-go energy solutions are driving the trend. The report noted that many health-conscious consumers are shifting from energy drinks to energy gum due to concerns about increased sugar consumption and digestive discomfort.

Caffeine gum fits discreetly in a pocket, making it convenient for students, busy professionals, and athletes who want a controlled dose of caffeine for a mental or physical edge. While the overall health benefits and safety of caffeinated gum are similar to energy drinks and coffee, safety largely depends on who is using it and how.

While the Trump administration is busy pushing for , a new study suggests you might not need at all. How about a little hypnosis?

A new published in Network Open found that self-administered can significantly reduce in without , prescriptions, or side effects.

Researchers studied 250 women who experienced frequent hot flashes. Those who listened to daily hypnosis audio sessions saw a 53% reduction in hot flash severity after six weeks, compared to 41% in the control group. By week twelve, that benefit grew to 61%, with participants also reporting fewer sleep disruptions and improved quality of life.

And no, this isn’t crystal ball witchcraft. Hypnosis in this study involved guided mental imagery that helps women place themselves outside the moment of discomfort, essentially training the brain to regulate its own response to heat and stress. I used something similar myself called hypnobirthing during natural childbirth, and I can tell you firsthand: it works.

So while the government’s busy rewriting the rules to make Pfizer and Novo Nordisk richer, science is quietly suggesting something radical: your brain might be the most powerful therapy you’ve got.
