Who REALLY likes exercise?
Oh, I know some people claim to. But I’ve got to tell you, that’s NOT me.
I’d rather have my toenails pulled out, one at a time, than strain and grunt my way through a fitness session.
Maybe you feel the same way (it’s okay, you can admit it here).
And maybe, like me, you’ve secretly dreamed of a risk-free “exercise pill” that can give you the benefits of a good workout without the blood, sweat, and tears.
NO pain… ALL gain.
Well, friend, maybe it’s not a dream anymore.
New research hints at just such an “exercise pill.” And best of all it’s NOT an expensive drug with a mountain of dangerous side effects.
In fact, it comes from a delicious treat that you might already eat.
Age messes with muscle strength leaving you weak
When you’re young and healthy, you barely have to do a thing to hold on to your muscle. You’ve got it, and it feels like you’ll NEVER lose it.
It’s the “young muscle” effect as it repairs and rebuilds itself naturally.
But as the years add up, that natural repair slows down. Eventually, the process grinds to a halt, and your muscles practically melt right out of your body.
You’re left frail and weak. And that’s when you start to feel every bit of your age and then some.
But new research reveals a way to…
- STOP the damage of age
- PROTECT muscle
- ENHANCE your cells
- RESTORE cell energy
- SAVE your strength
…and it works in much the same way as exercise.
FRUITY compound restores “young muscle”
In other words, the “exercise pill” might finally be here!
This all-natural secret is found in a fruit rumored to have been in the original Garden of Eden.
Locked deep inside pomegranates and other related fruits are potent hidden compounds called ellagitannins. Once inside the body, they’re transformed into another nutrient, called urolithin A, or UA.
The problem is that everyone processes ellagitannins differently. Some folks are like a UA machine, just cranking it out… while others struggle to make the conversion.
So the new study skipped the middleman.
“Exercise pill” restores energy at the cellular level
Researchers gave around five dozen seniors a direct jolt of UA every day for four weeks using a supplement. And they found the UA was able to reactivate that “young muscle” effect.
It went to work specifically on the mitochondria, or the “energy center” at the heart of every cell in your body.
When you’re young, your cells can naturally replace failing mitochondria, so they never run out of juice. As you get older, however, the fires can go out… and they don’t get replaced.
That’s where UA. the “exercise pill,” kicked into action.
It was able to rejuvenate the mitochondria in ways typically seen naturally in younger people and in older folks only after exercise.
And that means this compound alone could help preserve and restore muscle, not only helping you hold onto youthful strength but also ensuring you never suffer from the indignities of frailty and muscle-wasting conditions such as sarcopenia.
You can eat more pomegranate when it is in season. And that’s not a bad idea since these ruby red fruits have lots of health benefits, including helping to lower your risk for Alzheimer’s, cancer, and heart disease.
But to REALLY increase your body’s UA levels look for an anti-aging supplement built around the compounds found in pomegranate and other healthy fruits for a literal exercise pill.
