“While Dr. Rhonda Patrick’s first video focused primarily on the micronutrients found in the various fruits and vegetables she put in her smoothie, this one, in addition to offering some modest changes on the recipe, instead focuses on the beneficial “hormetic” compounds that are NOT micronutrients.”

“In addition it can be hard to keep track of the nutrient content of the food one eats. For these reasons, Bruce says that taking a “multivitamin and mineral is a good insurance.” However he also qualifies the statement by saying that too much vitamins or minerals can be a bad thing too.”

“Our genes influence the way we absorb and metabolize micronutrients. Nutrigenomics looks at the influence genetic variation has over micronutrient absorption/metabolism and the biological consequences of this dynamic relationship.”

“Because they contain no supporting food matrix to slow absorption, SSBs are rapidly absorbed by the gut and cause blood sugar spikes. Sugars from fruits and vegetables are packaged with a matrix of fiber and micronutrients that reduce the rate of digestion.”

“This means that micronutrient inadequacy results in an insidious type of damage that may lead to diseases of aging, such as cancer and neurodegeneration. Related links Related episode: Bruce Ames on Triage Theory, Longevity Vitamins & Micronutrients.”

“Stay hydrated and supplement with electrolytes (sodium, potassium, and magnesium) to counterbalance alcohol's diuretic effect and the micronutrient excretion that happens when you drink. Do not mix melatonin and alcohol — together they have a potent sedating effect.”

Dr. Bruce Ames discusses the CHORI Bar, a micronutrient- and fiber-dense nutrition bar developed in the Ames laboratory to manage obesity.

“In this Institute for Functional Medicine excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick answers a longevity question with a food-first premise: identify essential micronutrients and choose foods that supply them before focusing only on what to avoid.”

“The Mediterranean diet pattern is rich in micronutrient-dense foods such as vegetables, fish, and olive oil and has been shown to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other major causes of death.”

“He measures blood biomarkers and takes supplements as needed, particularly for vitamin B12. In this clip, Rich Roll describes the features of his vegan diet and how he avoids any micronutrient deficiencies.”
