The FOXO protein keeps you young!

Experiments show that an anti-aging gene, FOXO increases a cell’s ability to cope with damaged proteins(eg: Alzheimer’s disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)). FOXO maintains the ability of the cell to dispose of bad proteins, which in turn keeps the cell young. Patients with increased FOXO in their muscles ate less, and in turn they release less insulin, which is well known to accelerate aging by putting a  brake on metabolism. Aging is multi-factorial and complex.
