Greetings,

DID YOU KNOW that a multivitamin-multimineral (MVM) can help all ages?

A study from Nature Medicine found that compared with placebo, daily MVM supplementation modestly reduced the rate of increase of second-generation epigenetic clocks. This means MVM slowed down the aging process in older adults.

New research from the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry report that teens taking a high-dose MVM for eight weeks showed better mood control and less emotional reactivity than those on placebo. Moreover, in severe cases, nearly two-thirds of teens with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder improved significantly on the supplement.

Steve: It's hard to miss media headlines lauding the myriad benefits of coffee and tea these days. However, coffee or tea are ideal for everyone. Individual needs still need to be taken into account. Moreover, coffee and tea with added sugar or artificial sweeteners negate any benefit and becomes a detriment. That said, here are few recent exciting studies.

Tea

Researchers publishing in Beverage Plant Research found that tea, especially green tea, is strongly associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, obesity, diabetes, and several forms of cancer.

Beyond these well known benefits, tea consumption is also linked to brain protection, reduced muscle loss in older adults, and has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Together, the findings point to tea as a beverage with broad potential to support long-term health.

At the same time, the study highlights important concerns related to certain modern tea products, particularly bottled and bubble teas, which contain sugar, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, pesticide residues, heavy metals, and other additives.

The study authors say tea in its freshly brewed form, in moderation, is the best choice.

Coffee

A new study from Microbial Cell shows how caffeine could play a role in slowing down the aging process by tapping into an ancient cellular energy system.

A few years ago, a research team found that caffeine helps cells live longer by acting on a growth regulator called TOR. TOR is a biological switch that tells cells when to grow, based on how much food and energy is available. This switch has been controlling energy and stress responses in living things for over 500 million years.

But in their latest study, the same scientists made a surprising discovery: caffeine doesn't act on this growth switch directly. Instead, it works by activating another important system called AMPK, a cellular fuel gauge that is evolutionarily conserved in yeast and humans.

When your cells are low on energy, AMPK kicks in to help them cope. These results show that caffeine helps flip that switch.
