“Bottled water can contain very small plastic particles. Using stimulated Raman scattering microscopy, researchers identified roughly 240,000 detectable plastic particles per liter on average across three popular bottled-water brands, most of them nanoplastics.”

“A later Framingham analysis followed 2,240 adults for 11 years and found that a red-cell fatty acid model including the Omega-3 Index predicted all-cause mortality about as well as a model using several standard cardiovascular risk factors.”

“If your magnesium levels are inadequate, then your ability to boost mitochondrial number during HIT will be dampened, thus, compromising performance and the mitochondrial mass you would have otherwise gained as a consequence of your hard work and effort.”

“A pooled analysis of 17 prospective cohorts associated higher circulating long-chain omega-3 levels with lower total mortality, but it does not prove that raising an individual’s index causes added years of life or offsets smoking.”

“A meta-analysis of resistance-training trials found that protein supplementation produced modest additional gains in strength and fat-free mass, with average fat-free-mass benefit plateauing near 1.62 g/kg/day. This is a group estimate, not a precise requirement for every older adult.”

“In a small immobilization trial, five grams per day of omega-3 fatty acids reduced the loss of muscle volume in young women compared with sunflower oil, supporting continued research on omega-3s and disuse atrophy. Heat is the fourth proposed tool.”

“More than a century of research has demonstrated that nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is an indispensable mediator of vital metabolic and physiological processes, including energy production, DNA synthesis and repair, and regulation of gene expression – across multiple species.”

“A randomized-trial meta-analysis found a higher atrial-fibrillation risk with marine omega-3 supplementation, with a stronger signal at doses above 1 gram per day; the included populations generally had cardiovascular disease or elevated cardiovascular risk.”

“EPA and DHA play particularly important roles in heart health because they participate in pathways involved in the production of hormones that regulate blood clotting and inflammation, help maintain healthy heart rhythms, and influence the contraction and relaxation of arteries.”

“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.”
