There is a connection between Sirtuin1 and Longevity

The reason appears to be this protein awakens your stem cells that tend to go to sleep around age 25 and once they are awakened they tend to regenerate all parts of your body like they did before age 25 it appears.

A Gentleman on Fareed Zacharia GPS on CNN was talking about this in regard to stem cells waking up making 90% of all cancers now curable. This was originally discovered I believe in the 1920s by Lundsford but wasn't generally accepted then. However, I remember how important Brewer's yeast was to my father growing up because of it's life giving properties which contains Sirtuin1 I believe. I'll have to do more research to understand all this a little better. I'm just scratching the surface of understanding this right now.
