“They are produced by gut microbes during the fermentation of dietary fiber and reflect the overall health of the gut microbiome. Short-chain fatty acids play critical roles in many aspects of health, including the maintenance of healthy blood pressure.”

“This research could have important implications for human health. The authors noted that other research has demonstrated the ability of some prebiotics (fiber and nutrients that are beneficial for the gut microbiota) to improve sleep in humans.”

“The Tsimane have the lowest prevalence of coronary heart disease of any known population, likely due to their highly active lifestyle and diet rich in fiber, unsaturated fats, and omega-3 fats.”

“Scientists have identified about 20 urolithins, but the most studied of these is urolithin A, which exerts potent anti-obesity effects. Duckweed is rich in polyphenols, carotenoids, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12.”

“Researchers examined muscle samples taken before and after the trial to study changes in muscle fibers, endogenous antioxidants (heme oxygenase-1 and NAD(P)H dehydrogenase [quinone] 1), and energy-related proteins.”

“Mankai, also called duckweed, is rich in polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12. The polyphenols in mankai exert robust antioxidant activity and support healthy blood glucose levels—critical elements in maintaining brain health.”

“They identified a total of 39 microplastic fibers, fragments, or films in 11 of the 13 samples, an average of three per sample, ranging up to eight per sample and equating to approximately 0.69 microplastics per gram of tissue.”

“A diet rich in fiber and plant-based foods—and low in red meat and added sugars—may help prevent the buildup of dangerous plaque by improving metabolic health and reducing inflammation. Learn how exercise can help prevent the buildup of harmful arterial plaque, too, in this episode featuring Dr. Ben Levine.”

“The assessment revealed that a single serving of mushrooms added approximately 2 to 3 percent more fiber, 8 to 12 percent more potassium, 12 to 18 percent more riboflavin (a B vitamin), 11 to 26 percent more niacin (a B vitamin), 11 to 23 percent more selenium, and 16 to 26 percent more copper, depending upon the dietary pattern under comparison.”

“As a result, the group receiving the combined treatment lost less weight overall but potentially retained more total muscle mass. Skeletal muscle weighed more and muscle fibers were larger with ketone cotreatment than with semaglutide alone.”
