Mangoes to Live Longer?

Hi friend,

If you want to live a longer, healthier life, taking care of your stem cells is one of the most important things you can do. Stem cells act as the body’s repair system, helping regenerate and heal tissues and boost the immune system.

I covered five of the most powerful fruits that can boost stem cells and help heal the body in a YouTube episode.

• (9:55) Black Raspberries
  Imagine giving your body a 30% boost in circulating stem cells just by enjoying some black raspberries! They also support blood vessel resilience, a crucial factor in conditions like metabolic syndrome, where high blood pressure and cholesterol are common. Choose organic options for higher polyphenol content.

• (13:45) Blueberries
  Blueberries are like a gym workout for your muscle stem cells, boosting their regeneration by a whopping 40%. In trials, a small daily portion (about a third of a cup of freeze-dried blueberries) strengthened stem cells, increasing their resilience to stress in the body.

• (16:15) Strawberries
  Strawberries contain ellagic acid, which helps regenerate neurons by activating brain-protecting stem cells, especially in cases of brain injury. Choosing organic varieties amps up the levels of these powerful compounds. Plus, they're not just good for your brain—studies show they might help slim down your waistline too!

• (19:39) Mangoes
  Rich in fiber, mangoes support gut health by nourishing beneficial bacteria in the microbiome, which in turn strengthens immune function and lowers inflammation. These vibrant fruits also shield your stem cells from the daily assaults of modern life, like high sugar levels or pollutants. I love using them in recipes like smoothies or Thai-inspired dishes.

• (24:07) Prunes

  Prunes, or dried plums, are the unsung heroes of the supermarket’s middle aisles. They're packed with chlorogenic and ursolic acids, revitalizing your blood vessels and supporting a healthy gut. The fiber in prunes feeds your microbiome, helping it produce anti-inflammatory compounds while aiding digestion and mending leaky guts by activating those crucial stem cells.
