“To understand the relationship between exposure to key urban air pollutants (especially PM2.5, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone) and COVID-19 outcome, the authors of the study considered the case-fatality rate and the mortality rate – two major death outcomes associated with COVID-19.”

“The authors note that difficulty chewing may lessen brain stimulation, decrease blood flow to areas involved in memory and thinking, and affect diet quality, while poor oral health can also discourage social interaction, all of which may influence long-term brain health.”

“The researchers administered an oral glucose tolerance test in which participants consumed 75 grams of glucose, which is roughly the amount of sugar in two cans of sugar-sweetened soda, and had their blood drawn before consuming the glucose (baseline) and at 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes afterward.”

“To keep magnesium levels up, especially if you're active and losing a lot of magnesium through sweating, adding more magnesium-rich foods to your meals or opting for supplements like magnesium glycinate or citrate can make a big difference in maintaining your cell health and overall well-being.”

“Intrinsic aging is largely driven by internal physiological factors such as normal metabolism and genetics, whereas extrinsic aging is associated with lifestyle and environmental exposures, such as diet, tobacco use, ultraviolet radiation, and mental illness.”

“Participants received weekly semaglutide injections or matched placebo alongside standard care. Blood collected at the start and after 104 weeks was assessed with a model that uses 25 proteins to estimate the likelihood of a dementia diagnosis from any cause over five and 20 years.”

“01:36:35 - How increased muscle mass helps achieve lower blood sugar levels – reducing overall mortality – and the potential for suboptimal glycemic control long before doctors identify it. 01:52:28 - Peter's 80% zone 2 / 20% VO2 max training protocol.”

“The actigraphs revealed that participants with a less robust circadian rhythm, as evidenced by features including reduced activity and drowsiness during the day and fragmented sleep, had an increased risk of developing PD over the subsequent 11-year period.”

“The fish-sourced omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), both play important roles in brain health, but DHA in particular regulates transport across the blood-brain barrier, a critical aspect in maintaining the barrier's integrity.”

“Davidson reported that five minutes of daily Healthy Minds Program practice for 28 days produced a significant decrease in interleukin-6 (IL-6), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, measured three months after the formal intervention ended and compared with an untreated control group.”
