## Resource

This week, Joel Kahn, MD, dives into fascinating new research on aged garlic extract and its potential role in healthy aging, muscle function, and cardiovascular wellness. He reviews a recent study showing how aged garlic extract improved muscle and aging markers in mice while also activating the NAMPT pathway in humans, which may help boost NAD+ production. Dr. Kahn also breaks down several newer studies highlighting the cardiovascular benefits of aged garlic extract, a supplement he's used at the Kahn Center for more than a decade. He discusses the specific Kyolic formula available here: Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract Additional topics include dietary nitrates from greens and nitric oxide production, the Mediterranean diet and longevity, high-intensity interval training and heart health, visual acuity and lifespan, plant-based diets and breast cancer outcomes, and the connection between poor sleep and survival rates.
