niacin, vitamin B3, may help you live up to an extra 10 years because, similar to exercise, it causes the right amount of oxidative stress in the body to boost health. “Niacin tricks the body into believing that it is exercising — even when this is not the case,” says researcher Michael Ristow. After you consume niacin, your body converts it to the metabolite nicotinamide. In lab tests, the Zurich researchers found that this process helps roundworms live 10 percent longer. The metabolic pathway that processes niacin is basically the same in both humans and the worms. easyhealthoptions/alternative-medicine/exercise-in-a-pill/
