DHEA - Anti Aging Miracle?

Many people ask me about the benefits and necessity of DHEA. I am completely convinced about it, using it for many years already. There isn't a book you can pick up about anti-aging, welness or Longevity without reading about it.
To summarize it all, please read what follows;

As we age our DHEA production falls dramatically. Low DHEA has been seen to correlate with a lot of age related problems and diseases.

Medical information shows that DHEA peaks around the age of 25 and then drops by 85-90% by the time a person reaches 70 years old.

DHEA is short for the tongue twisting word Dehydroepiandrosterone.

DHEA is the most abundant steroid hormone circulating in the human body and is present at even higher levels in brain tissue. In fact, brain tissue contains 5 to 6 times more DHEA than any other tissue in the human body. Dhea studies have shown that people with Alzheimer's disease have an overwhelming 48% less DHEA in their blood stream than do matched controls of the same age group.

DHEA is a “precursor” hormone – that is, it is the mother hormone that the body can convert into over 50 essential hormones, including testosterone, estrogen, progesterone and cortisone to name a few.

DHEA levels are directly related to the probability of dying in humans.

In a 12-year study of over 240 men aged 50-79 years old, researchers found that DHEA levels were inversely correlated with mortality for heart disease and all other known causes. This finding suggests that DHEA levels can become a standard diagnostic tool in the prediction of disease, mortality and lifespan.
“studies have shown that DHEA prolongs life expectancy up to an amazing 50% in laboratory animals. If animal results hold true in humans, supplemental DHEA may prevent disease, reduce mortality, and extend life span.

According to Dr. William Regelson of the Medical College of Virginia, DHEA is “one of the best biochemical bio-markers for chronological age.” In fact, some people's levels of DHEA decline 95% during their lifetime – the largest age related decline of an important biochemical yet documented, and an indication of Dhea's beneficial effect on the aging process.

In 1995 at a meeting entitled DHEA AND AGING in Washington DC, John Nestler in his talk hypothesized that the age-related drop in DHEA and DHEA-S, may be due in part to the normal age-related rise in circulating insulin levels. Thus increasing insulin, may indeed be one of the main reasons that DHEA declines with age, and an inverse relationship may indeed be possible; as DHEA levels are enhanced then insulin may drop.

Don't believe me, check it out for yourself. Google around and see what you can come up with yourself, it all will convince you even more.
Is DHEA a miracle? Yes it is, when combined with healthy eating, lots of exercise and a very creative and positive state of mind. As part of a Longevity Lifestyle it sure is a very important ingredient.
Sending you great vibes,
