“Barley has a type of fiber called inulin which has been shown to stimulate gut-derived hormones involved in sugar regulation and appetite regulation.”

“Increased consumption of dietary fiber, such as vegetables and fruits was associated with decreased risk, suggesting that dietary interventions could serve as treatments for depression.”

“That's because creatine enhances training volume—allowing more repetitions per set—thereby facilitating greater hypertrophic responses, especially notable in type II (fast-twitch) muscle fibers. Type II fibers preferentially store creatine, making supplementation particularly beneficial for explosive strength and power performance​​.”

“From the article: > Muscle tissue can remodel itself, which is one reason why exercise becomes easier when we do it regularly, Lessard says. Over time, aerobic exercise such as running or swimming can alter muscle fibers to become more efficient at using oxygen during exercise.”

“The research was done in mice and found that fermentation of plant fiber results in the production of short-chain fatty acids, which are partially responsible for communicating with the epigenome.”

“Her practical message is to reduce the frequency and size of large glucose exposures. Foods with intact fiber, protein, and minimally processed carbohydrates digest more slowly than refined added sugar, while regular exercise gives skeletal muscle a large destination for circulating glucose.”

“Extra fat stored around the body promotes inflammation and insulin resistance, but extra abdominal fat is particularly dangerous. Findings of a recent report suggest consuming foods rich in unsaturated fat and dietary fiber may improve fat distribution in females.”

“Clothing is a separate branch. Polyester can shed fibers, and moisture-wicking apparel may contain PFAS. Dr. Patrick favors cotton for sweaty, high-friction activity and takes extra caution with children because development is sensitive.”
