0:24.6	Today, you're going to discover seven of the most well-documented ways to slow down your aging process.
0:31.5	Most of them are absolutely free or cost pennies a day.
0:35.9	So let's kick things off with number one, vitamin D supplementation.
0:41.8	A brand new study conducted by researchers at Harvard and published in the American Journal
0:47.4	of Clinical Nutrition found that taking just one capsule of vitamin D3 each day, which
0:53.0	would cost around 40 cents a day, can significantly
0:56.8	slow down your aging at a cellular level. Compared with taking a placebo, study participants
1:03.1	who took 2,000 international units or I use a vitamin D3 daily significantly reduced telomere shortening over the course of the four-year
1:14.4	study. This one simple action prevented the equivalent of about three years of aging. I can't
1:23.4	stress how powerful this information is. Now if you're wondering what the heck are telomeres,
1:30.0	telomeres are one of the most well-established markers of phenotypic aging or biological aging.
1:37.3	Essentially, our telomeres are protective caps at the end of our chromosomes that shorten
1:42.0	with each cell division that we have and their length is associated
1:46.8	with our biological age shorter telomeres can indicate accelerated aging and are linked to several
1:53.8	age-related chronic diseases again just 2,000 i use of vitamin d3 each day was found to be protective of our telomeres.
2:04.6	Now here's the real kicker.
