Dr. Ames, a renowned geneticist has studied the relationship between diet(Chinese food to sustain energy level and promote brain cell function with powerful antioxidant) and cells for aging process. His research focuses on the links between aging and tiny structures inside cells called mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells, the biological engines that convert carbohydrates, fats and proteins into the energy used by the entire body. Aging mitochondria are less efficient at converting fuel to energy, and they produce more toxic oxidants.
Healthy mitohondria keep our cells healthy. Healthy cells provide energy, help keep the mind sharp and the memory clear, and provide a sense of over well-being.
The above analysis from science of heredity may be overly academic for ordinary folks. My recommendation would be to follow the guidelines of the Huangdi, the Emperor for our ancestry:
Eat Beancurd and veggies from Chinese varieties plus fish to strive to be centenarians.(sic)
