“A large meta-analysis found that protein supplementation improved resistance-training gains in muscle size and strength, with little additional lean-mass benefit above an estimated total intake of about 1.6 grams per kilogram per day for most participants.”

“When produced during exercise (especially high intensity workouts like cycling, which shifts metabolism toward glycolysis to more quickly meet the high energetic demands), lactate switches on more than 600 genes involved in muscle adaptation, stimulates mitochondrial biogenesis – the process of making new mitochondria – and promotes protein synthesis, which is essential for muscle growth.”

“1 2 3 00:31:57 - How skill-based exercise, such as yoga, Tai chi, boxing, tango or skateboarding may play a special role in ameliorating some of the effects of the disease by driving circuit-specific effects, by creating top-down cognitive challenge for skills involved in a patient's movement through space.”

“Many people may find the prolonged fast too onerous, but the fasting-mimicking diet, an approach that recapitulates many of the same effects of prolonged fasting with a hyper-low calorie, low protein, higher fat diet stretched out over a longer interval of five days, may offer a more palatable strategy for activating autophagy.”

“Earlier long-term research in older male physicians found no cognitive benefit, and the main COSMOS trial did not significantly reduce invasive cancer, cardiovascular events, or mortality over a median of 3.6 years.”

“In another randomized trial, advice to drink an additional 1.5 liters of water daily improved migraine-specific quality of life, even though headache-day counts did not clearly change. Selected nutrients may help some people as part of a broader prevention plan.”

“Although many seed vendors provide quality seeds that are free of pesticides and have high germination rates, determining the glucoraphanin content in broccoli seeds requires laboratory analysis that may be cost-prohibitive for most home growers.”

“A systematic review in older adults linked Mediterranean dietary patterns with lower inflammatory markers, while a meta-analysis of randomized trials found that vitamin D supplementation reduced acute respiratory infection risk overall, with the strongest protection among people who were very deficient and received regular doses.”

“Research on warm baths and showers suggests that passive heating one to two hours before bedtime can shorten sleep-onset latency and improve self-rated sleep quality, although the evidence does not establish that every sauna routine has the same effect.”

“When starting a ketogenic diet, it is important to track macronutrients, calories, and relevant biomarkers. Dr. D'Agostino notes that breath acetone is a suitable way to measure ketones if you are interested in fat loss since all the carbons in breath acetone derive from fat molecules.”
