“Functional connectivity within both the frontoparietal cortex and the dorsal attention network underlie general intelligence. While no associative studies can establish causation...the data was adjusted for age, gender, education, income, BMI, and depression status.”

“Elevated levels of visceral fat are linked to a compromised blood-brain barrier. High omega-3 fatty acid intake: Omega-3 fatty acids help maintain the integrity of the blood-brain barrier and reduce inflammation.”

“In fact, insulin signaling in the brain might be a crucial pathway governing metabolic and behavioral changes resulting from UPF consumption even in the absence of changes in peripheral (think muscle or fat tissue) insulin sensitivity. The participants who had an exaggerated brain response to insulin had the greatest increases in liver fat and the greatest decreases in reward sensitivity.”

“High-intensity "exercise snacks" are being studied for their potential effects on insulin sensitivity and other health markers. Researchers believe incorporating these short bursts of activity throughout the day might improve cardiorespiratory fitness and blood markers of fat and immune function.”

“Even a 10- to 15-minute walk or brief bodyweight movement after the largest meal can help reduce the immediate glucose excursion; it complements rather than replaces regular exercise or prescribed diabetes care.”

“But performing twice this amount led to more weight loss—just over 4 kilograms or around 9 pounds on average. At least 150 minutes per week was required to elicit clinically significant improvements in body fat percentage and waist circumference.”

“Exercising with low glycogen can amplify some molecular signals associated with mitochondrial biogenesis and fat metabolism. However, these signals have not consistently translated into better endurance performance.”

“Approximately 98 percent of the fat in breast milk is in the form of triglycerides, whose properties and structure depend on incorporated fatty acids. Nearly 200 fatty acids have been identified in human breast milk, with oleic, palmitic, and linoleic acids present in the highest concentrations.”

“Resistance exercise remains the central anabolic context. A meta-analysis found modest added gains from supplementation and an average fat-free-mass plateau near 1.6 g/kg/day. Second, the anabolic window is not a narrow post-workout deadline.”
