“In this video, Dr. Darya & Kevin Rose talk about beta-hydroxybutyrate, an endogenous ketone body that increases in concentration during times of fasting or carbohydrate restriction. Beta-hydroxybutyrate also increases during a fasting-mimicking diet, which is a time of temporary period of calorie and protein restriction that generates many of the same biochemical effects of prolonged fasting.”

“A common feature of heart disease is arrhythmia, an irregular heartbeat. Interestingly, research in fruit flies has shown that unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as poor sleep and diet, increase the risk of developing arrhythmias.”

“Antibiotic therapy is commonly used to eradicate the bacterium, but sulforaphane, an isothiocyanate compound derived from broccoli, has been shown to reduce H. pylori populations markedly, and may offer a more cost-effective means of treating H.”

“He observed that in most cases, metabolic rates were a reflection of body mass and closely tracked estimations from predictive equations. In this clip, Dr. Ray Cronise emphasizes the importance of diet to improve healthspan rather than employing tricks to boost metabolic rate.”

“Caloric restriction is a sustained reduced intake of approximately 30 percent fewer calories than one would typically eat, whereas periodic fasting is a more extreme deficit, but only for a short duration.”
