Peas are high in the polyamine called Spermidine.
Polyamines, such as spermidine, are organic compounds having two or more primary amino groups and are multifunctional. They serve vital roles in cell survival. Amino acids make up a large proportion of our cells, muscles and tissue.
Spermidine is a longevity agent in mammals due to various mechanisms of action, which are just beginning to be understood.
Basically, the spermidine works through autophagy. This is the process which cleans out the badness in the cells, which rejuvenates them. Studies showed an increased intake of spermidine through diet increased life by as much as 10%! And increased brain function.
Good dietary sources of spermidine are peas, aged cheese, mushrooms, soy products, legumes, corn, and whole grains.
Start eating more of these foods daily to feel younger and live longer!
