“01:52:55 - Environmental enrichment creates epigenetic changes that benefit learning and memory in rodents and these benefits transfer to offspring. Study. 02:05:00 - NASA study showed that gravity influenced expression of genes involved in metastasis.”

“02:03:18 - A recent study measured omega-3 fatty acid levels from both supplemental and dietary sources in blood and found that for every 1 percent increment in omega-3 fatty acid levels there was a 20 percent decreased risk in all-cause mortality.”

“New Scientist article. 02:06:10 - Some people, like Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves, seem to defy aging. 02:08:15 - One 12-ounce can of sugar-sweetened soft drink per day shortened telomere length, corresponding to 4.6 years of biological aging.”

“During sleep, the brain activates the glymphatic system, a self-cleaning process that rids the brain of metabolic byproducts. One of these byproducts is amyloid-beta, a toxic protein that aggregates and forms plaques in the brain with age and is associated with Alzheimer's disease.”
Clip
“Dr. Patrick also describes a trial in vitamin-D-deficient, overweight African-American adults in which 4,000 IU per day reduced an epigenetic-age measure by almost two years. Epigenetic age is a surrogate biomarker, not proof that vitamin D slowed clinical aging, prevented disease, or extended life.”
Clip
“A pooled analysis estimated effects of about 0.07 standard deviation for global cognition and 0.06 for episodic memory, providing evidence that a standard multivitamin can support selected cognitive outcomes in some older adults.”
Clip
“Dr. Patrick also discusses vitamin D and potassium as nutrients that are commonly worth assessing. Vitamin D status varies with sun exposure, diet, skin pigmentation, age, and body composition, while potassium-rich foods help support blood-pressure regulation.”

“Xenotransplantation, the practice of transplanting an organ from a non-human animal, such as a pig or chimpanzee, to a human, has its origins in the 1960s. Among six patients receiving kidney xenotransplants from chimpanzees in 1963, one survived for nine months in moderate health.”

“Dr. Bruce Ames' Triage Theory Dr. Ames proposed that the body does a strategic rationing so that those proteins and enzymes in the body which are essential for short-term survival get their share of vitamins and minerals at the expense of other proteins and enzymes that are essential for long-term survival.”
