“Fewer bone‐resorbing cells called osteoclasts appeared in both exercise groups, especially when omega-3 was included. The combined group also showed more immature collagen fibers, a sign of ongoing tissue repair.”

“By consuming more whole foods, we benefit from not only the presence of healthy omega-6, -7, and -9 fatty acids, but also from fiber, the food matrix, improved glycemic impact, and an abundance of micronutrients that are often stripped away in processed foods.”

“Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals, complex carbohydrates, and dietary fiber. They also contain phytochemicals – a broad class of bioactive dietary compounds that exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.”

“Mushrooms are rich in bioactive compounds, including phytochemicals (plant chemicals such as flavonoids and carotenoids), fiber, selenium, vitamins, and antioxidants, such as ergothioneine and glutathione, which may help prevent cancer.”

“Evidence indicates it improves performance in both endurance and resistance exercise. Some of these effects may be due to caffeine's capacity to decrease the perception of effort and increase the neural actions on muscle fibers.”

“Resistance training builds muscle mass and strength by promoting muscle growth, increasing muscle fiber size, and enhancing the body's ability to generate force. A recent study shows that omega-3 fatty acids enhance the effects of resistance training on strength gains.”

“A team of researchers wanted to know whether adding a simple fiber supplement could make a standard statin dose more effective. To find out, they analyzed data from three clinical trials that tested psyllium taken with a statin versus the same statin taken alone.”

“Two strategies – prebiotics and probiotics – merit attention, with varied scientific support. Prebiotics are dietary components (primarily indigestible fibers) that promote the growth and survival of beneficial microbes in the human gut.”

“Avocados are a nutritious food rich in unsaturated fats, fiber, and many bioactive plant compounds, including avocatin B, an enzyme that prevents fatty acids from being oxidized and becoming rancid.”

“They fed a second group of mice a control diet in which the added sugars were replaced with cornstarch and fiber. Both groups of mice consumed their respective diets and lived in controlled environments for 26 weeks before entering the organismal performance assay, upon which all mice consumed the high-sugar diet.”
