They have also evolved to require a molecule called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD. As we will see later, the loss of NAD as we age, and the resulting decline in sirtuin activity, is thought to be a primary reason our bodies develop diseases when we are old but not when we are young.

natural compounds activates and amplifies the genes responsible for the production of a vast complex of protective and life-sustaining detoxification enzymes and antioxidants. Among these are curcumin, which comes from turmeric; green tea extract; resveratrol; sulphoraphane, derived from broccoli; and the omega-3 fat, DHA.

Could it be that the origin of life structured metabolism through the reactions of H2 and CO2, to form Krebs-cycle intermediates? That this biosynthetic engine was hard-wired into life from the beginning, the driving force that gave rise to genes and proteins? That billions of years later, as the atmosphere filled with oxygen, the Krebs cycle flipp
