“Aerobic exercise - Exercise reduces age-related changes to the blood-brain barrier that increases leakiness and neurodegeneration. Polyphenols - Polyphenols and other phytonutrients from plant foods increase neuroprotective metabolites at the blood-brain barrier.”

“Urolithin A is a compound produced by certain gut bacteria from polyphenols found in foods like pomegranates, berries, and walnuts. It has attracted interest for its potential to activate mitophagy, the process cells use to clear out damaged mitochondria.”

“Carotenoids are one of the most common classes of bioactive compounds found in plants, along with alkaloids (e.g., berberine), organosulfur compounds (e.g., sulforaphane), and polyphenols (e.g., anthocyanins). Carotenoid molecules are long chains of carbon atoms connected via double bonds.”

“In this excerpt from FoundMyFitness's coffee deep dive, Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses how milk may change the handling of coffee polyphenols. One human study found lower 24-hour urinary recovery of chlorogenic-acid metabolites when coffee was consumed with milk, while another found no meaningful change in plasma exposure.”

“Polyphenols from foods such as berries, greens, and tea inhibit the NFkB inflammatory pathway and, therefore, may reduce Parkinson's disease risk. In studies with mice, polyphenol treatments reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and protect dopaminergic neurons.”

“In addition, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving people diagnosed with mild-to-moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease found that participants who took a resveratrol supplement twice a day (up to 1 gram) for one year exhibited reduced levels of MMP9, a neurological inflammatory marker associated with increased neurodegeneration and inflammation.”

“Polyphenols - Bioactive plant compounds found in food that strengthen the gut barrier and reduce overactive toll-like receptor signaling. Episodes & Clips In this clip, Dr. Eran Elinav elaborates on the connection between leak gut and chronic diseases such as cancer.”

“These cancer-causing effects were not observed in vivo in rodent studies. Quercetin appears to be well tolerated without reports of serious side effects. Conclusion Quercetin is a plant polyphenol found in various fruits and vegetables and is available as a dietary supplement.”

“Participants underwent physical exams before, during, and after the study and provided blood and fecal samples for analysis. The polyphenol-rich foods included berries, blood oranges (and their juice), pomegranate juice, green tea, apples, and dark chocolate.”

“Polyphenols, such as those found in berries and green tea, were found to reduce the risk of depression and alleviate depression severity among 39 studies – both observational and interventional.”
