“For example, insulin resistance is common among older adults, increasing their risk for type 2 diabetes. In addition, a person's fat mass typically increases and muscle mass and bone mineral density decrease.”

“Current public health guidelines recommend that adults engage in muscle-strengthening activities such as resistance training at least twice a week. Research indicates that resistance exercise provides a wide range of health benefits, including increased muscle mass and strength, greater bone density, and improved mood.”

“00:09:15 - Exercise promotes the growth of new brain cells (neurogenesis) via bone-derived neurotrophic factor, promoting the formation of new memories and the loss of old ones. 00:12:00 - Powerful amygdala activation from either extreme excitement or fear increases episodic memory.”

“1 02:37:05 - Mothers that chew xylitol gum starting mid-pregnancy and continuing until 6-12 months after birth lowered the oral streptococcus mutan bacteria, which is an anaerobic bacteria that plays a significant role in tooth decay, in their toddlers/children.”

“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body. Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining calcium balance and bone health, vitamin D plays critical roles in immune function.”

“Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone. It plays critical roles in reproductive health and contributes to bone and muscle mass accretion. A recent review summarizes the effects of aerobic exercise on testosterone levels.”

“Perhaps best known for its role in maintaining calcium balance and bone health, vitamin D plays critical roles in many physiological processes, such as blood pressure regulation, immune function, and cell growth.”

“Vitamin K2 – a form of vitamin K produced in the gut – plays important roles in blood clotting, bone mass maintenance, and blood vessel contractility. But new research shows that supplemental vitamin K2 also improves diabetes markers.”

“For example, estrogen helps maintain healthy blood lipid levels, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, and promotes bone health. Findings from a recent study suggest that estrogen protects against age-related cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.”

“Previous research reports that a later age of natural menopause is associated with greater life expectancy; reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and atherosclerosis; and less loss of bone density and a reduced risk of osteoporosis and fractures.”
