“The investigators found that plant-based food metabolites (from cocoa, coffee, mushrooms, and red wine) and microbiota-derived metabolites (from microbial metabolism of polyphenol-rich apples, cocoa, green tea, blueberries, oranges, and pomegranates) appeared to exert a protective effect against cognitive decline.”

“Olive oil is rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, carotenoids, oleic acid, and others. Olive oil is a fundamental component of the Mediterranean diet, which is associated with a wide range of health benefits, including reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease.”

“They also contain polyphenols and lutein, a carotenoid compound that quenches and scavenges reactive oxygen species. After five weeks on the diet with avocado, the participants' levels of oxidized LDL cholesterol (especially the small, dense LDL cholesterol particles) were lower than their baseline levels or after completing the low- or moderate-fat diets.”

“After young men consumed freeze-dried wild blueberries for two weeks, their fat oxidation rates during exercise increased by more than 43 percent. During exercise, fats and carbohydrates undergo oxidation, providing fuel for contracting muscles.”

“The Mediterranean dietary pattern is rich in fruits, vegetables, olive oil, fish, and poultry. Nutrients provided in the diet include phospholipids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, carotenoids (lutein, folate, and polyphenols), and vitamins B, C, D, and E.”

“The participants consumed one of three beverages at breakfast and lunch for three 14-day sessions: oolong tea containing 51.8 milligrams of caffeine and 48.5 milligrams of catechins; a beverage containing 51.8 milligrams of caffeine; or a placebo beverage.”

“The study involved nearly 35,000 women enrolled in the Swedish Mammography Cohort. The women, who had no history of cardiovascular disease or cancer at the time of their enrollment, completed questionnaires about their coffee consumption and other lifestyle habits.”

“Caffeine is the most well-known component in coffee, but it contains more than 100 biologically active components - including many polyphenols. The benefits on longevity and lower risks of cardiovascular disease - the number one killer in most developed countries - were found in decaf coffee which does not contain much caffeine.”

“Article. 00:06:45 - Hormesis, a biological response to stressors such as exercise, EGCC in green tea, or polyphenols in fruit, switches on a host of protective mechanisms that help the body better handle stressors.”

“Other evidence suggests that coffee's beneficial effects arise from its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects as well as its capacity to maintain healthy blood insulin levels – a critical aspect in colorectal cancer outcomes.”
