Episode 09.30.2026 - Health Secrets to Longevity

SUMMARY

This week, The Dr. Ardis Show presents Health Secrets on Longevity. Dr. Ardis opens with Harvard Health Publishing's lifestyle strategies for a long, healthy life (nutrition, exercise, not smoking, limiting alcohol, sleep, hydration, socializing, and optimism), including a study of more than 11,000 adults linking good hydration to fewer chronic conditions. He then covers the landmark 2023 Science study "Taurine deficiency as a driver of aging," where taurine levels fell with age in mice, monkeys, and humans, and taurine-fed mice lived 10 to 12% longer on average, plus a 2023 Nutrients review on taurine and heart health.

The second half moves through selenium and its role in antioxidant defense and inflammation (including the Swedish selenium and CoQ10 trial in older adults and research on centenarians' selenium, copper, and iron levels), a 2025 mouse study on long-term N-acetylcysteine (NAC) and pancreatic health, the four-year VITAL trial finding that vitamin D3 slowed telomere shortening and reduced autoimmune disease incidence by 22%, and a rat study on vitamin K2 and the aging brain.
