“Those who took curcumin performed better on the vertical jump over time, but the placebo group saw decrements in the performance of this test. These findings suggest that curcumin reduces soreness and helps maintain muscular power following plyometric exercise.”

“These findings suggest that the absence of gut bacteria limits the body's ability to store and use glucose, adversely affecting exercise performance. They also highlight gut microbes' vital role in supporting metabolism and physical endurance.”

“Prevalence, the percentage of a population with a specific characteristic, such as a disease. Without consideration of prevalence, sensitivity and specificity only partially convey test performance.”

“A small one-year randomized trial in older adults appeared to buffer decline on a verbal-learning task and increased activation in selected frontal regions; the result needs replication and does not establish broad cognitive enhancement.”

“Drinking-water treatment can remove many microplastic particles, with performance depending on particle size and the treatment process. Dr. Patrick favors a well-characterized home filtration system when feasible, while noting that reverse osmosis also removes minerals and requires thoughtful maintenance.”

“Researchers monitored the cognitive performance of more than 650 children born before 29 weeks' gestation. From birth until roughly the age of 36 weeks' gestation, about half of the children received DHA (60 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day) via tube feeding, while the other half did not.”

“On average, cognitive performance increased by 7.8% in the brain+exercise group compared to 4.5% in the exercise-only group. Similarly, physical performance improved by nearly 30% in the brain+exercise group compared to 22.4% in the exercise-only group.”

“People that used the sauna 2-3 times per week had a 20% lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, and those that used the sauna 4-7 times per week had a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease, compared to men that used the sauna 1 time per week.”

“People that engaged in 15 minutes of aerobic exercise immediately after learning a new motor skill improved consolidation of motor memory and performed better than those that did not exercise. (But only after sleeping first.)”

“[...] > “This finding puts the ‘pain as social glue’ hypothesis to a rigorous test, highlighting that people not only feel closer to others, but are willing to risk their own outcomes to benefit the group,” says Bastian.”
