These animals&#8217; lifespans also increased by as much as 25 percent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn human terms, that would mean that instead of living to about 81 years old, the average American could live to be over 100,\u201d&nbsp;said Leyuan Liu, PhD, assistant professor at the Texas A&amp;M Institute of Biosciences and Technology\u2019s Center for Translational Cancer Research.<\/p>\n<p>For humans to fully experience this benefit, though, they would have to start consuming spermidine-rich foods from the time they can start eating solids. It&#8217;s never too late, though. The mice that started ingesting spermidine later on still saw their life expectancy increase by 10 percent. Liver lesions and fibrosis were less intense, too.<\/p>\n<p>These findings support&nbsp;the results from a <a href=\"http:\/\/nypost.com\/2016\/11\/21\/eat-cheese-live-longer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2016 study<\/a> that also looked at the effects of spermidine in mice. These test subjects also experienced longer life expectancy, as well as healthier hearts after drinking spermidine-added water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Though the results sound promising for turophiles, Liu cautions that testing has only been done on animals; human clinical trials would be the next step. However, he&#8217;s hopeful that this compound could somehow be available as a supplement in the future to help people live longer and&nbsp;prevent liver disease.&nbsp;In addition to aged cheese, spermidine is also found in common foods such as mushrooms, legumes, and whole grains.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A chemical compound that&#8217;s found in certain cheeses could contribute to a longer life and prevent liver disease<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":30365,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"wprm-recipe-roundup-name":"","wprm-recipe-roundup-description":"","cybocfi_hide_featured_image":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[1192,15556,2087,4160,15561,15562,15557,15560,15161,15160,954,15559,15558,15563],"coauthors":[940],"class_list":["post-30362","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cheese-bites","tag-aged-cheese","tag-cancer-preventing","tag-cheese","tag-healthy","tag-healthy-heart","tag-legumes","tag-leyuan-liu","tag-life-expectancy","tag-liver-disease","tag-longevity","tag-mushroom","tag-spermidine","tag-texas-am-institute-of-biosciences-and-technologys-center-for-translational-cancer-research","tag-whole-grains"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.4 (Yoast SEO v24.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Could Aged Cheese Help You Live Longer?
