“The arrival of a new year is a great opportunity to make health-focused resolutions – promises to ourselves that we're going to live better, healthier, and (hopefully) longer. We all age at different rates, however, so our chronological age – the number of years we've lived – often differs from our biological age.”
“Diet stands out as low-hanging fruit for influencing our lifespan. Optimizing macronutrient intake, practicing time-restricted eating, and consuming healthful bioactive compounds are critical aspects of a healthy diet. In part II of this two-part Aliquot, Drs.”
“Since then, the body of research enumerating the profound anti-inflammatory and generalized health-promoting qualities of omega-3s continues to grow; however, some studies fail to show any effects from omega-3 supplementation.”
“Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune neurodegenerative disorder that destroys myelin, the insulating layer that surrounds neurons. The causes of MS are complex and may arise from both genetic and environmental factors, including nutritional deficiencies.”
“The Mediterranean diet pattern is rich in micronutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fish, and olive oil and has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other major causes of death.”
“But what does the science say? In this Aliquot, Dr. Jed Fahey and I discuss the pros and cons of eating meat as well as the confounding factors that may influence the risks associated with meat consumption.”
“Continuous glucose monitors – CGMs, for short – are wearable devices that measure blood glucose levels through a tiny sensor placed under the skin. The CGM communicates with your smartphone and provides nearly real-time information about your blood glucose levels.”
“Sugar substitutes are food products or additives that provide the sweet taste of sugar, without the calories. Evidence suggests that sugar substitutes have surprising effects on human metabolism and these effects vary person-to-person, based on the overall makeup of an individual's gut microbiome.”
“Exposure to environmental toxins – in the food we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe – is largely unavoidable. But monitoring our exposures and implementing diet and lifestyle strategies can help mitigate the risks associated with toxic exposures. In this Aliquot, Dr. Dale Bredesen, Dr. Michael Snyder, and I discuss ways to deal with our increasingly toxic environment.”
