📚 Cognition of the Book’s Big Idea
The secret to making decisions that promote longevity is mitochondrial efficiency. A cyclical ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, along with monitoring your hormone levels and sleep quality, can help you age backwards and even reverse cellular damage. You'll look younger as well as feel younger. Here's another useful hint.
Align your jaw to gain ten years. The majority of us are accustomed to dentists giving us advice on how to maintain the appearance of our teeth. However, many dentists are unaware that a misaligned bite can cause your body to send a flight-or-fight signal to your trigeminal nerve, which can lead to a cascade of stress and inflammation. You can assess your jaw alignment by opening your mouth and relaxing your muscles, then slowly biting down. Consider purchasing a bite guard from the drugstore or having your dentist create a bespoke one if your molars don't strike equally right before your front teeth connect.
