Taurine

L-TAURINE – is an important but non-essential amino acid if longevity is your goal. Research has found that the longest living Japanese residents on the island of Okinawa have the highest intakes of L-Taurine. It has its greatest impact on strengthening the cardiovascular system (lowers blood pressure), improving insulin sensitivity (prevents fatty liver), and optimizing the immune system and the nervous system (helps treat seizures and reverses tinnitus).

L-Taurine also helps fight obesity – mostly through its ability to improve insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Additionally, it reduces the complications of diabetes (heart disease, kidney damage, diabetic retinopathy and neuropathy). One of the best ways to improve exercise performance is to take an L-Taurine supplement beforehand because it helps muscles work harder and longer without injury.

L-Taurine is also crucial for eye health because of its ability to prevent retinal damage and macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness. And it has an especially important role to play in prevention of diabetic retinopathy.

And tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is another nuisance health problem that could be helped by supplemental L-Taurine. (Recommended dosage: 500 – 1000 mg daily)

Distilled Waters

Two ideal water sources for longevity:

1. Distilled water is water that has been heated to the boiling point so that impurities
    are separated from the water, which itself becomes vapor or steam. Steam is then
    condensed back into pure liquid form. The impurities remain as residue and are

    removed. A distillation system removes waterborne biological contaminants such
    as bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, volatile gases,
    cysts and other contaminants. Distilled water contains virtually no solids, mineral
    or trace elements. It is clean, natural and healthy. Steam distilled water is the
    standard by which all other waters are measured.

2. Plant water is naturally purified by plants, like coconut water, cucumber water and
watermelon.

Acupoint Stomach 36 and longevity

A Japanese folk tale from the Edo era (1603-1867) about farmer Manpei tells that when Manpei was asked whether he had any secret to maintaining long life, he answered that he had no secret other than burning moxa on acupoint Stomach 36 every day, just as his ancestors had done. It is recorded that Manpei lived 243 years, his wife, Taku, lived 242 and their son, Mankichi, lived 196 years.

In recent records, it is well known that Doctor Shimetaro Hara used to burn Moxa on his St-36 every day and he lived to be over 100 years of age

Scientific studies cited by Dr. Shui Yin Lo in his book, The Biophysics for Acupuncture and Health; found that normal subjects who received acupuncture on acupoint Stomach 36, increased telomerase levels.

Clinical research now posits that stimulating St-36 increases Maximum Oxygen Uptake. It is known that increased Maximum Oxygen Uptake prevents and improves recovery time from diseases such as hypertension and diabetes. Maximum Oxygen Uptake also decreases the cancer rate. Thus, we may assume that the modern idea of maintaining health by increasing Maximum Oxygen Uptake is based on the same mechanism as our traditional wisdom for attaining longevity by stimulating St 36.

St-36 is located on the network called the Stomach Meridian. Stimulation of St-36 not only enlivens the point but also the entire meridian and stomach organ. According to this classic medical theory, the organ and meridian of the stomach are a part of the foundation of our life energy. Thus, stimulation on St-36 not only affects the leg where St-36 is located, but also affects the health of the whole body.

Preventing illness before it rears its ugly head is the core idea in acupuncture and moxibustion theory. Ancient Chinese physicians observed the early stages of decline in health, which precedes illness proper, also manifests subtle symptoms. They believed it wise to treat illnesses at this stage. This stage is called ‘Mi Bing’ which means ‘before illness.’ 'Mi Bing' is closely related to the idea of longevity and Moxibustion on the acupuncture point St-36

One of the most famous preventative moxa therapies is to do indirect moxibustion on St-36 (Stomach 36 / Zu San Li) a point one hand's width below the patella (knee cap). Zu San Li means 'Foot Three Miles' and increases endurance, digestive power, and stimulates the immune system.

Carnosine

The dipeptide carnosine (ß−alanyl-L-histidine) both inhibits glycation and has antioxidant metal chelating activity. Skeletal muscle concentrations of carnosine correlate with lifespan in mammals.
