“Some of the mechanisms that promote muscle hypertrophy with resistance training include mechanical tension and metabolic stress. Mechanical tension arises from muscle fiber force generation and stretch, while metabolic stress involves the accumulation of exercise-induced metabolites.”

“The imaging results revealed that areas of the corpus callosum, a bundle of nerve fibers that connects the left and right hemispheres of the brain, as well as areas of the middle orbitofrontal gyrus, an area responsible for emotional control and reward circuits, were diminished in the obese teens' brains.”

“Plant-based dietary patterns are typically higher in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients than other dietary patterns. Consequently, they may confer health benefits that reduce the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.”

“The Western diet – a dietary pattern that is high in unhealthy fats and refined sugar, and low in fiber – has been implicated in the pathogenesis of IBD. A new study suggests that even short-term exposure to a high sugar diet increases susceptibility to ulcerative colitis.”

“About half of your brain is white matter—a network of nerve fibers that allow for the exchange of information and communication within the brain. Aging and lifestyle factors can damage the white matter, increasing the risk of stroke, dementia, and disability.”

“Blueberries, Cognition, and the Banana Smoothie Question – A compact discussion of blueberry polyphenols, cognition, fiber, and what the human banana-PPO study does—and does not—tell us about mixing bananas with berries.”

“Starting at the age of three months and continuing until their natural deaths, half of the mice ate a normal diet, while the other half ate a diet that was high in fat and sugar and low in dietary fiber – much like the typical Western diet.”

“These findings suggest that bowel movement infrequency alters gut microbial populations and increases the production of harmful metabolites. Fruits and vegetables contain bioactive compounds and dietary fiber that benefit gut health and promote regular bowel activity.”

“The modified Mediterranean-ketogenic diet is rich in fish, lean meats, and fiber-rich green leafy vegetables, nuts, and berries. About 5% to 10% of its calories come from carbohydrates, 60% to 65% from fat, and 30% from protein.”

“Amaranth leaves contain a number of antioxidant compounds as well as other beneficial nutrients, such as magnesium, folic acid, and dietary fiber. The investigators enrolled 90 post-menopausal females and allocated them to one of three groups.”
