“The women had similar baseline measurements of skin elasticity, skin moisture, transepidermal water loss, and skin roughness. Compared to the placebo, both hydrolyzed collagen doses increased skin elasticity by an average of 7 percent after four and eight weeks of intake.”

“The loss of muscle mass during diet-induced weight loss is mitigated when protein intake is either maintained or increased.”

“Vitamin C and fatty acid oxidation Vitamin C levels are inversely related to body weight, particularly among people who are obese, as described above. Given that vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of carnitine, a compound required for the utilization of fatty acids as energy, it is possible that low vitamin C levels contribute to increased fat storage.”

“Breastfeeding protects against cancer and facilitates postpartum weight loss Lower risk of breast and ovarian cancer A review of 47 epidemiological studies found that for every 12 months of breastfeeding, the risk of developing breast cancer decreased by 4.3 percent.”

“For example, light and moderate drinkers have better dental hygiene, exercise routines, weight, diet quality, and income than abstainers. When these confounding factors are adequately controlled for, most or all of the protective effects of alcohol on disease risk are abolished.”

“Eccentric exercises are movements that occur when muscles are lengthened while still exerting force, such as when lowering a weight. While this type of exercise is a valuable part of athletic training, it is associated with muscle damage, weakness, soreness, and inflammation, resulting in strength loss.”

“Another study revealed that magnesium supplementation (8 milligrams per kilogram body weight) combined with strength training three times a week boosted strength. The investigators posited that these gains were related to enhanced muscle protein synthesis.”

“Medium-Chain Triglycerides and Butter Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are another popular coffee additive (sometimes combined with butter/ghee to make the popular "Bulletproof coffee") and may enhance cognitive performance, provide-long lasting energy, and even suppress appetite for weight loss beyond regular coffee.”

“For resistance training, evidence supports roughly 1.2–1.6 g/kg/day, with average fat-free-mass gains leveling near 1.6 g/kg/day. When excess body fat makes total-weight calculations unrealistic, lean mass or a healthy goal weight is a more practical denominator.”
