ScienceDaily (2007-05-11) — Researchers have found that eating certain plant substances can slow down the rate of aging — and that females prefer mates that will be long-lived. Carotenoids are naturally-occurring yellow and red pigments found in plants. Animals that eat those plants can then use the pigments to make themselves colourful in order to attract mates. But carotenoids are also antioxidants, which improve an animal’s ability to combat oxidative stress and strengthen its immune system.

This latest research has found for the first time that males eating more carotenoids were better able to protect their cells from damage and so lived longer – and that females found these long-lived males particularly attractive. Continued at source.

Nuskin makes a product that increases Caretoid levels called Life-Pak nano.
