“Chemical assays include high-performance liquid chromatography and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, or LC-MS, and require high-level expertise to utilize. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, but LC-MS is widely considered the "gold standard" of vitamin D assessment.”

“Restrictive eating practices drive mechanisms that improve overall body composition and trigger the activation of biochemical processes and signaling pathways that optimize human performance and physiological function, possibly slowing the processes of aging and disease.”

“Alternately, the cellular pathway that recycles NAD+ may decline in performance with age. In this clip, Dr. Eric Verdin explains how nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide levels diminish with age and describes the ongoing research to understand the reasons why.”

“##There are fundamental differences in cardiovascular performance and health between males and females Adult males are on average stronger, more powerful, and faster than females of the same age and a similar training status — the difference may be as large as 10 to 30 percent.”

“FTA: > Excessive movement common among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder is actually vital to how they remember information and work out complex cognitive tasks, a new study shows. The findings show the longtime prevailing methods for helping children with ADHD may be misguided.”

“Caloric restriction, a potent inducer of autophagy, extends lifespan in many organisms but also reduces the risk of many age-related chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and brain atrophy – likely attributable to the beneficial effects of autophagy.”

“The couch stretch adds a focused check of hip extension: whether a person can stay upright, breathe comfortably, and contract the glute while the front of the hip and thigh are lengthened. Together, these tests turn mobility work into an everyday feedback system rather than a separate performance test.”
