“Cold exposure has long been used in traditional medicine for its many health benefits. However, recent research demonstrates that cold affects the immune system. A new study found that regular cold showers can increase immune cells and antibodies that protect against infections.”

“Typically, traditional sauna sessions are shorter (about 15 to 20 minutes, on average) and might be interspersed with periods of cooling. They usually expose the entire body to heat and only raise core body temperature to approximately 102.2°F (39°C).”

“Findings from a new study demonstrate that garlic alleviates clinical symptoms and inflammatory markers associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Garlic is a bulbous plant used in cooking and traditional medicine practices.”

“Fahey, ScD, MS, has a broad, extensive background in plant physiology, human nutrition, phytochemistry, and nutritional biochemistry. He is an assistant professor of medicine at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and serves as the director of the Lewis B.”

“Results of a chemical screen indicated that celastrol, a plant-based compound commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine, activated Nrf2 signaling, which in turn induced the activity of Nrf2 target genes, including glutathione.”

“Short-term sprint interval versus traditional endurance training: similar initial adaptations in human skeletal muscle and exercise performance. Physiological adaptations to low‐volume, high‐intensity interval training in health and disease.”

“In recent times these practices have fallen out of favor (often for good reasons, as antibiotics have changed the course of infectious diseases and many drugs effectively treat illness). Yet, as modern medicine scrambles to treat the ever-increasing numbers of COVID-19 patients, low risk, high reward treatment modalities have been revisited.”

“Association of wearable device-measured vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity with mortality (VILPA) - Brief, intense non-exercise physical activity reduces mortality risk in non-exercisers, showing similar benefits to traditional exercise.”

“They identified a target omega-3 level, dubbed the "Omega-3 Index," that serves as a measurable risk factor for sudden cardiac death. Unlike traditional omega-3 assays, which measure omega-3s in plasma or phospholipids, the Omega-3 Index gauges the fatty acid concentrations in red blood cells.”

“Emerging studies suggest that a higher protein intake may reduce mortality risk in people with chronic kidney disease, challenging traditional protein restriction guidelines. Protein Timing & Distribution Is protein timing or distribution more important?”
