“HDL cholesterol was 0.16 mmol per liter higher. These health differences were accompanied by lasting shifts in the gut microbiome. Adolescents who received donor microbes had a more diverse and markedly reshaped gut microbiome compared with placebo.”

“To hear Dr. Rhonda Patrick review the evidence on saturated fat and heart disease, listen to this episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast. Link to full publication. To learn even more about the effects of saturated fat and cholesterol on human health, watch this episode featuring expert Dr. Ronald Krauss, MD.”

“At the end of the intervention, participants who received the cranberry powder exhibited improvements in visual episodic memory. In addition, their low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (which contributes to atherosclerosis and impaired brain function) decreased.”

“Increasing the amount of time spent fasting each day has been used to treat metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and high cholesterol, increase muscle mass, decrease fat mass, and improve exercise performance.”

“Eating twice a day, without restricting calories, may prevent metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of medical conditions that includes high blood pressure, high blood glucose, unhealthy cholesterol levels, and excess abdominal fat.”

“They also assessed whether differences in cardiovascular health factors, such as blood pressure, cholesterol, smoking, and physical activity, accounted for any sex differences. The age at which cardiovascular disease had developed in 5 out of every 10 adults occurred about 7 years earlier in men than women.”

“A high-sugar diet increased fasting cholesterol levels and decreased glucose tolerance. The authors concluded that a high sugar diet decreased survival, competitive ability, and reproduction in mice and led to metabolic dysfunction.”

“Collagen supplementation did not affect strength recovery or muscle soreness following exercise. Effects outside skin and joints were inconsistent: Some measures of body composition improved, but markers such as blood glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure showed no clear or reliable changes.”

“The validated calculator considers age, cholesterol levels, systolic blood pressure level, blood pressure treatment, diabetes status, and smoking status to determine risk. It is important to note that age and race exert strong influence over the calculator's output.”

“The researchers also looked at how visceral fat might affect the brain. Measures of blood sugar control were most strongly linked to later brain changes. In particular, fasting glucose and HbA1c stood out more than cholesterol or common markers of inflammation.”
