“The active whole body hyperthermia group underwent mild-intensity hyperthermia using a Heckel device, with infrared lights heating the chest and coils warming the lower extremities until their core temperature reached 38.5°C—a process taking an average of 107 minutes (range 81–140 minutes)—followed by a 60-minute cool-down phase.”

“Simple, moderate healthy behaviors can add up to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Such lifestyle choices include diet quality and timing, engaging in physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, drinking alcohol in moderation, and not smoking.”

“Neuroplasticity makes your brain more resilient and slows cognitive aging. While the young will always have a greater degree of neuroplasticity than the old, it is empowering to know that neural plasticity can be modulated through our lifestyles and behavior.”

“In a randomized trial of 80 adults with overweight who usually slept fewer than 6.5 hours, counseling increased sleep by about 1.2 hours per night and reduced objectively measured energy intake by approximately 270 calories per day over two weeks.”

“Publication: Vitamin D hormone regulates serotonin synthesis. Part 1: relevance for autism. Publication: Vitamin D and the omega-3 fatty acids control serotonin synthesis and action, part 2: relevance for ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and impulsive behavior.”

“This in turn increases oxidative stress and accelerates telomere shortening. A proxy measure for past life exposures and behaviors. In most population-based studies, telomere length is measured in leukocytes, a type of white blood cell.”

“In a study involving diet-induced diabetic mice, injection of 500 milligrams per kilogram of body weight (mg/kg/bw) of nicotinamide mononucleotide administered for seven days enhanced insulin sensitivity and improved glucose intolerance compared to that observed among mice not given nicotinamide mononucleotide.”

“From the chemistry of synthetic vanillin to the regulatory loopholes behind GRAS labeling, we explore how these additives can influence health—not just through potential toxicity, but by activating the brain's reward system in ways that may affect behavior.”

“Chiefly, sleep deprivation triggers the onset of a "loneliness phenotype" by inducing critical changes within the brain that alter behavior and emotions, disturb metabolic processes, and influence the expression of immune-related genes.”

“An overnight fast of at least 13 hours has been associated with a decrease in breast cancer recurrence and mortality among women, regardless of what the women ate. Constraining when one eats is an approach that can promote a sense of self-efficacy, which can lead to incorporating other healthy lifestyle behaviors such as walking.”
