“The omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) protect the aging brain by decreasing oxidative stress and inflammation and increasing neurogenesis.”

“They did not know why the medium dose was more effective in reducing inflammation than the high dose, but they hypothesized that the high dose of spices may have contained such a high level of polyphenols that it promoted oxidative stress.”

“In some experimental settings, reprogramming can make methylation clocks younger and improve readouts related to mitochondrial function, oxidative phosphorylation, stem-cell-like function, and youthful transcriptional programs.”

“Body composition may shape the same system from another direction. Fat tissue is not just stored energy. It also releases chemical signals that interact with immune activity, inflammation, and oxidative stress.”

“A diet rich in fruits and vegetables is known to reduce heart disease risk, in part due to the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds provided by the diet that reduce oxidative stress and improve vascular function.”

“Diets with lower caloric content accelerated production of proteins required for overall protein synthesis (particularly genes for a cellular machine called the spliceosome). As dietary protein content increased, oxidative stress in mitochondria increased.”

“These changes point to possible disruptions in early brain development. The researchers propose that chlorpyrifos may impair how brain cells mature by triggering oxidative stress and inflammation — two processes known to harm mitochondria and interfere with myelin production.”

“Ketogenic diets may therefore reduce oxidative and inflammatory stress, help keep the brain's quieting and activating signals in better balance, and support broader metabolic health, all of which could contribute to improvements in depressive and anxiety symptoms.”

“Phosphatidylcholine contains fatty acids that can influence membrane stability, oxidative stress, and the clumping of proteins such as alpha-synuclein (a hallmark of Parkinson's disease).”

“"Of all the different environmental factors that affect us humans – our stress levels, the medications we take, where we live, and how we conduct our lives – the composition of the diet is probably the most important and most dominant factor which impacts our gut microbes."”
