'Fountain of Youth'? Broccoli

http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/fountain-youth-broccoli-article-1.2847935

If you love broccoli (and even if you hate it) science serves up a compelling reason to eat it.
The everyday vegetable contains a natural compound packing a potent energy-related anti-aging punch on mice that “could be translated to humans,” according to the study.

>In a paper published in Cell Metabolism, a team of researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reports that nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), an enzyme that plays a key role in energy metabolism, found in broccoli... is a natural way to reduce lost energy and signs of aging

Btw - The fountain-of-youth-like compound is also in cucumbers, cabbage and edamame.
