“FoundMyFitness has a wealth of information about the various components used in this intensive protocol, which included: Diet: A whole-food, minimally processed, plant-based diet, high in complex carbohydrates and low in harmful fats and refined sugars.”

“Following the absorption of most macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) present in food in the small intestine, undigested food travels to the large intestine where microbes metabolize any remaining nutrients.”

“A previous systematic review of research on blueberries found good evidence to support their ability to improve memory, executive function, and psychomotor function in adults with mild cognitive impairment; however, less research has focused on total anthocyanins in the diet.”

“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.”

“Zinc is an essential nutrient that participates in many biological processes and plays critical roles in immune function, protein synthesis, wound healing, DNA synthesis, cell division, and brain health.”

“The main source of fat in the high-fat diet was lard with casein protein, sugar, and micronutrients added. The researchers added a choline supplement to both the high-fat and low-fat diets one week before administering a single dose of a probiotic containing E.”
