ancient Seed Reverses Immune Age by Nearly 50%, Landmark Study reveals
Florianópolis, Brazil – A clinical study led by Jeff Bland has demonstrated a remarkable 47% rejuvenation of participants’ immunological age through the consumption of Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat, an ancient fruit seed packed with potent phytochemicals. The findings, representing a breakthrough in anti-aging research, suggest a dietary intervention capable of considerably impacting the bodyS inflammatory response and bolstering immune function.
Modern science increasingly links chronic inflammation to the aging process, with some experts believing immune system age is the best predictor of longevity. This age is assessed through epigenetic tests analyzing gene expression.The function of the immune system is largely influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors, making modulation through diet, sleep, stress management, and phytochemical intake crucial.
Himalayan Tartary Buckwheat stands out with its remarkable concentration of 121 different phytochemicals, particularly those from the polyphenol family, known for their immune-regulating properties. In the 90-day study, participants consuming an enriched level of these polyphenols – without altering other dietary habits – experienced epigenetic changes in immune cells of up to 2,000% (20-fold).
“This effect has never been demonstrated before with a single food,” researchers noted. Beyond polyphenols, the seed is also a rich source of prebiotic fibers, zinc, magnesium, and boasts protein usability comparable to meat, providing comprehensive nutritional support. Bland illustrates inflammation with the concept of “angry fat,” where immune cells irritate fat cells, releasing inflammatory markers. His approach focuses on eliminating the triggers the immune system receives, often originating in the gut.
