Someone brought up a question that I want to talk about today. Why do women live longer than men? Do women live longer than men in the first place? On average, yes. It has to do with estrogen.

Men vs. women life expectancy: Men - On average 76 years Women - On average 81 years

In the body, there is a constant battle going on between oxidation and antioxidants. If there is too much oxidation at the genetic level and not enough antioxidants you will end up with a build-up of free radicals.

Free radicals - Create damage within the DNA and various proteins in the body.

Estrogen can come in as a very powerful antioxidant and give you what you need to balance out the oxidation. Phytoestrogens from plants, like cruciferous vegetables, can also help the antioxidant networks.

Genes - The hardware for example (like a DVD) Epigenetics - The software for example (like a DVD player)

You can’t extract data from the “DVD” (genes) without the “DVD player”(epigenetics).

There are certain things in the environment that express or “turn on” and “turn off” these genes like: • Nutrients • Stress levels • Exercise • Fasting • Hormones

Estrogen has the capacity to cause certain longevity genes to be expressed or “turned on.”

0:36.4	So today I want to answer the question,
0:37.7	why do women live longer than men?
0:41.0	Men on average live 76 years, women 81 years. Why is that? Well it has to do with
0:47.3	one hormone, estrogen. Now let me explain. In the body you have this constant battle or this balance between
0:56.1	oxidation and antioxidants. So whether it's chemicals, stress, too much sugar that produces all this oxidation, you also have from the food
1:07.4	antioxidants and your body actually makes any accidents to counter this oxidation. If we have too much oxidation at the
1:16.3	genetic level and not enough antioxidants we get a buildup of free radicals. Now, what does that mean? A free radical is an unpaired
1:26.4	electrons. So we have this little atom with electrons and normally would have two that balance each other.
1:33.5	So if we only had one, that would be unpaired electrons
1:37.8	creating a very unstable atom,
1:39.9	and then that's what really creates the damage.
1:42.1	And I'm talking about damage within the DNA
1:45.4	and various proteins in the body.
