Top Longevity Tip #1: AmitayEshel (1:22)
Temperature regulation is AmitayEshel’s top longevity tip. Our bodies struggle to use molecules effectively across different systems, such as adrenaline, melatonin, and nitric oxide.

Managing temperature through exercise, saunas, ice baths, and sleeping in a colder environment fosters overall health and contributes to longevity.
