Could the regular consumption of algae help us age better and live healthier lives? Catherine Arnston, founder and CEO of EnergyBits, is on a mission to introduce algae to everyday diets for health and longevity. Touted for its potent healing and nourishing properties, algae, particularly spirulina and chlorella, have garnered support from organizations like the United Nations and NASA for their dense nutritional profiles and potential in combating world hunger. In this interview with Peter Bowes, Arnston focusses on the apparent benefits for mitochondrial health — a key factor in energy production and aging. Highlighting the ease of incorporating algae into daily routines through tablets, she believes it to be a simple yet effective tool to extend healthspan - the number of years that we enjoy the best of health.  Photos courtesy: EnergyBitsDISCOUNTS▸ Try algae for yourself?  To get a 20 percent discount on EnergyBits.com products use the code LLAMA at checkout▸ Read a transcript of this conversation and additional show-notes at http://www.llamapodcast.com/Catharine-Arnston-2Eating algae to age betterLISTEN to our 2022 interview with Catharine Arnston▸ DISCLAIMER: This site includes affiliate links from which we derive a small commission, if you click on the product links and use the code LLAMA at checkout.  This helps support the channel and allows us to continue sharing conversations like this.
