though it's still speculation as to why, what I think is going on is that glycine controls what's called one carbon metabolism and not wanting to bore the heck out of everyone who's listening to me, glycine and one carbon metabolism controls methylation of DNA.

getting back to the little chemicals that are on this DNA molecule that control the information, I wouldn't be surprised if by eating a lot of glycine every day, I'm slowing down this identity crisis, you called it.

Nevertheless, it's very safe and again falls into the same category as spermidine.

No downside.

Can't afford it.

Why not?

Yeah, there's a lot.

Because I love you and your listeners.

Let's see.

I'll reveal one more.

There are some basics that I do.

If you're not doing them, I think is very wise.

Make sure you're not deficient in vitamin D. Obviously, we just mentioned one of the reasons why.

It's also if you're lacking vitamin D, you can be susceptible to certain cancers.

So I take a vitamin D supplement.

Serena actually, I take Serena's supplement because her vitamin D has vitamin K2 as well.

And K2 is another vitamin that's important for longevity, I believe, because it keeps calcium out of your arteries, which causes plaque and tends to make your body put it into where it belongs, which is your bones.

Yeah, that could be a whole podcast, actually.

But briefly, I take a baby aspirin every day, even though some doctors and some institutions of doctors say don't take it anymore, even though it used to be prescribed and recommended.

Why?
