Rats fed a diet exclusively of raw egg yolk grew well and were able to reproduce. Raw yolk was superior to cooked in promoting rat growth. The cooked whole egg supported much better rat growth than when fed raw. However, Adams (1964) reported that rats fed diets consisting of 100 percent cooked whole egg or cooked yolk had frequent diarrhea and food consumption was low with a resulting reduced growth rate and life span. When the yolk was supplemented with a salt mixture, weight gain, feed efficiency and longevity were greatly enhanced.< BR>http://ps.fass.org/content/45/4/788.short

We show here that feeding rapamycin to adult Drosophila produces the life span extension seen in some TOR mutants
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20074526 

Rapamycin, also called sirolimus is produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces hygroscopicus found on Easter Island. Sirolimus lowers the body's ability to fight an infection/disease (immunosuppression). This may increase your risk of developing an infection or certain types of cancer (e.g., skin cancer, lymphoma). To reduce the risk of these serious side effects, take this medication at the lowest effective dose.This could prove that the immune system is adjusting to conditions.  Once these conditions have been adjusted to it can fight disease and bacteria more efficiently.

Rapamycin was first shown to extend lifespan in eukaryotes in 2006.in a 2009 study, the lifespans of mice fed rapamycin were increased between 28 and 38% from the beginning of treatment, or 9 to 14% in total increased maximum lifespan. Of particular note, the treatment began in mice aged 20 months, the equivalent of 60 human years.

We found significant associations between month of birth and longevity: individuals born in September�November have higher likelihood of becoming centenarians compared to March-born individuals. Similar month-of-birth effects on longevity were found for centenarian spouses: individuals born in October-November were more likely to live to 100 compared to individuals born in April. The results of this study suggest that early life environmental conditions may have long-lasting effects on human aging and longevity.

Results showed that being overweight at a young age may significantly decrease chances of living to 100. Our results also supported previous findings that a farm upbringing improves survival to advanced ages. (Gavrilova and Gavrilov 2007; Preston, Hill, and Drevenstedt 1998).

Experiments on laboratory mice found the offspring born to younger mothers live longer. These studies show better survival for people born in September through December compared to people born in the middle of the year. More specific explanation of the observed effects of early-life conditions on longevity can be provided by the inflammation hypothesis suggested by Finch and Crimmins (2004). According to this hypothesis, a strong acute-phase inflammatory response required for survival early in life initiates chronic inflammation, which promotes chronic diseases of aging. The results obtained in our study suggest that optimizing the process of early-development can potentially result in avoiding many diseases in later life and significantly extending healthy life span.

In order to explain the secular decline in mortality due to cardiovascular illnesses, Finch and Crimmins (2004) propose that exposure to infectious diseases early in life increases the risk of chronic inflammation through life course. This paper seeks evidence for this hypothesis with data from a Costa Rican aging study, called CRELES.

The reason why membrane fatty acid composition is correlated with MLSP is because fatty acids differ greatly is their susceptibility to lipid peroxidation.

Much evidence has indicated that beta-carotene and retinol may be important natural anticarcinogens. Accordingly, they also may be important antiaging agents. This possibility has been tested by determining if a positive correlation exists between the concentration of carotenoids and retinol in serum and brain tissue with the maximal life-span potential of mammalian species. The results show a significant positive correlation for the carotenoids but not for retinol. These results suggest that the carotenoids may be biologically active as protective agents against cancer and as longevity determinants. Retinol appears to be less important in these functions.

Remarkably, centenarians were characterized as having the highest levels of vitamins A and E, whereas the activities of both plasma and RBC SOD, which increase with age, decreased in centenarians.

If treated with the catalytic antioxidant MnTBAP, the life span of the mice can be extended, and the liver and heart pathology can be prevented. Catalytic antioxidants mimic the activities of superoxide dismutase or catalase or both, detoxifying superoxide and hydrogen peroxide, and in some cases, peroxynitrite and other toxic species as well. Several compounds have demonstrated efficacy in in vitro and in animal models of neurodegeneration, leading to optimism that catalytic antioxidants may prove to be useful therapies in human disease.

Sirtuin activating compounds (STACs) can promote the survival of human cells and extend the replicative lifespan of yeast. Here we show that resveratrol and other STACs activate sirtuins from Caenorhabditis elegans and Drosophila melanogaster, and extend the lifespan of these animals without reducing fecundity. Lifespan extension is dependent on functional Sir2, and is not observed when nutrients are restricted. Together these data indicate that STACs slow metazoan ageing by mechanisms that may be related to caloric restriction.

The life span of Drosophila melanogaster (Oregon R) males was found to be proportional to the logarithm of the iron content of the diet. Life span was also shown to be proportional to the rate of iron accumulation for Drosophila, mice and man. The total body iron content was found to correlate with the total calcium content of adult Drosophila. Iron content during the developmental stages, however, remained relatively constant and did not change with changes in the calcium concentrations. Dietary tea (Camellia sinensis) extracts were found to inhibit the ageing-related accumulation of iron and to prolong the life span of Drosophila by as much as 21.4%. It is concluded that iron accumulation is a significant factor contributing to senescence.

For example, we used zebrafish genes to alter mitochondrial function and innate immunity in ways not normally available to C. elegans and extended worm lifespan by ~40%. Next, we used a modular approach to extend lifespan by 130% by combining up to four components in the same strain. These results provide a platform to build worms having progressively longer lifespans. This project is conceptually similar to using engineering to increase the useful lifespan of a primitive machine (1931 Model T) using both parts from the model T as well as parts from a more advanced machine (2012 Toyota Corolla). Our results open the door to use engineering to go beyond the constraints of the C. elegans genome to extend its lifespan by adding non-native components.

Protocatechuic acid extends lifespan and increases stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans
http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12272-013-0183-6#page-1

A�a� oil, obtained from the fruit of the a�a� palm (Euterpe oleracea), is rich in protocatechuic acid (630 � 36 mg/kg).,[10] Protocatechuic acid also exists in the skins of some strains of onion as an antifungal mechanism, increasing endogenous resistance against smudge fungus. It is also found in Allium cepa (17,540 ppm).PCA occurs in roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa), which is used worldwide as a food and beverage. Protocatechuic acid is also found in mushrooms such as Agaricus bisporus[12] or Phellinus linteus.

Curcumin Extends Life Span, Improves Health Span, and Modulates the Expression of Age-Associated Aging Genes in Drosophila melanogaster
http://online.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/rej.2010.1031

Trehalose extends longevity in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Trehalose is a disaccharide of glucose found in diverse organisms and is suggested to act as a stress protectant against heat, cold, desiccation, anoxia, and oxidation. Here, we demonstrate that treatment of Caenorhabditis elegans with trehalose starting from the young-adult stage extended the mean life span by over 30% without any side effects. Surprisingly, trehalose treatment starting even from the old-adult stage shortly thereafter retarded the age-associated decline in survivorship and extended the remaining life span by 60%.
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1474-9726.2010.00582.x/full

Trehalose is available as an extract on amazon.com and is high in the foods honey, wine and mushrooms. It is especially high in foods that have been fermented using brewers yeast.

Nectarines, resveratrol and Aloe vera extract supplementation of diet extended adult longevity in Drosophila melanogaster.  Vitamin E may extend the life expectancy of men with 2 years, if they have a dietary vitamin C intake above the median . dietary supplementation, for 15 weeks, with 5% and 20% (w/w) of nutritional doses of vitamins C and E, zinc, selenium, and beta-carotenes restored redox homeostasis and improved leukocyte functions,. Nitrone-based free radical trapping agents. α-phenil-tert-butyl nitrone (PBN) and other nitrone-based free radical trapping agents prolong both the average and maximum life span in mice [18,19]. PBN rapidly penetrates to most tissues and suppresses production of ROS by mitochondria and also inhibits gene transduction caused by oxidative insults. Synthetic salen-manganese complexes termed EUK (Eukarion) were developed to mimic activities of the endogenous superoxide dismutase . Tempol, a stable nitroxide free radical, is another superoxide dismutase mimetic.

N-acetyl cysteine is similar to Tempol.

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is another pharmacological thiol-containing antioxidant which acts according to several mechanisms. new types of interventions mimicking the effect of caloric restriction or the effect of other stressor while avoiding their negative aspects have been developed. (i.e. 2-deoxy-D-glucose, resveratrol) [54,55], chemical mimetics of heat shock (i.e. curcumin) [56]. Thus, a new concept has been introduced by Lamming: xenohormesis, which means hormesis induced by biochemical compounds . Exposure to low concentrations of various phytochemicals (resveratrol, tannic acid, juglone) induces potent life-prolonging properties in the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans, at least in part due to increased resistance to oxidative stress .
Carnitines (carnitine/acetylcarnitine) have recently been demonstrated to be neuroprotective through the activation of hormetic pathways.
There is also one study where scientists found that a chronic dose of acetylcarnitine decreased mortality in animals, showing a prolongevity potential< BR>Ozone, another candidate for the pharmacological anti-aging hormetins, when used at appropriate doses, promotes the generation of reactive oxygen species and a consequent antioxidant response capable of reversing the oxidative stress [37]. Findings of an increased level of antioxidant enzymes during ozone therapy show the hormetic potential of this pharmacological agent
The two end points of the hormesis curve, which are physical inactivity and overtraining, result in increase of both oxidative stress and incidence of age-related disorders [38,69,70], while the regular moderate exercise induces a ROS mediated adaptation which results in enhanced activity of antioxidant and damage repair enzymes, lower levels of oxidative damage and prevent various age-associated loss (e.g. decreased skeletal muscle function, cognition

Putrescine then forms spermidine and spermine through a reversible metabolic process.  Spermidine content was high in dry soy bean, Sweedish Hard Cheese, green peas, corn, shell fish, and blue cheese. A high content of spermine was found in most of the meat products (like sausages, pork, chicken, and turkey), some vegetables (like pumpkin), and cheese. The polyamines spermine and spermidine protect proteins from structural and functional damage by AGE precursors: a new role for old molecules. Fermented soy bean (Natto) has been reported to have considerable amounts of polyamines.
