As research into this conditionally essential amino acid has progressed, the health impacts associated with the real limits of availability of glycine - and the benefits of supplementation well above the levels readily available from the diet - have become increasingly clear. Glycine is emerging as a critical unsung hero of human nutrition for body and brain.
Recent studies have demonstrated that Glycine plays a role in the activation of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) amino acid receptor in the brain's neuro-excitory pathway, which itself plays a role against the damage caused by Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, strokes and other neurodegenerative conditions. Glycine's role as a co-factor NMDA activation is also likely to be related to the more established research regarding glycine's ability to increase the rate of human growth hormone production. In fact, one study demonstrated that less than 6 grams of glycine supplementation was able to more than triple hGH levels in normal, healthy men and women.
Heathy Aging
Since the industrial revolution human longevity has been increasing. The most common causes of death are no longer communicable diseases but are diseases from lifestyle and environmental sources. The focus of many people has shifted to the maintenance of a healthy body and mind as the best insurance against age-related declines in health. This desire can be so overwhelming that many people take chances with unproven treatments in the hope of finding the fountain of youth.
Symptoms associated with aging are as individual as we are. Some of the more common problems include constipation, depression, diarrhea, dizziness, heart palpitations, indigestion and weight gain. Unfortunately as these symptoms progress they are usually covered over with treatments that do not treat the root cause. There are a few known causes of aging that supplementation can help to counter act.
Support Healthy Aging By:
- Eating a variety of fresh, natural whole foods
- Include colourful fruits and vegetables daily
- Drink enough pure water, proportionate to your weight
- Eat small meals every couple of hours
- Avoid processed, packaged and refined foods
- Include whole grains and ensure adequate fiber intake (between 25-35g daily)
- Stay mentally and physically active
- Supplement with antioxidants to help fight free radical damage, a major cause of premature aging.
- Detox the body regularly
- Limit intake of saturated fats and increase essential fatty acids.
- Take digestive enzymes
