“This muscle-protective effect is thought to arise from omega-3s' ability to enhance muscle protein synthesis by improving the body's responsiveness to amino acids, with anti-inflammatory properties potentially contributing as well.”

“FTA: > Three commonly used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs alter the activity of enzymes within cell membranes, researchers have found. Their finding suggests that, if taken at higher-than-approved doses and/or for long periods of time, these prescription-level nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and other drugs that affect the membrane may produce wide-ranging and unwanted side effects.”

“Once in the brain, it caused the loss of dopamine neurons in animals.”

“COVID-19 mRNA vaccines consist of a small piece of mRNA protected by a lipid droplet that is injected into the deltoid muscle of the arm. The spike protein is made and expressed on the cell's surface where it remains until it is detected by the immune system.”

“It is produced primarily in the liver, and its synthesis and release are promoted by dietary intake of protein, especially those containing the amino acids methionine and cysteine. Emerging evidence suggests that IGF-1 also regulates the aging process via its influence on growth hormone.”

“Animal studies indicate that omega-3 deficiency may also reduce GLUT1 transporters in the brain. Other studies suggest that omega-3 supplementation reduces VCAM1 levels – a protein elevated with normal aging, which could be related to the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier.”

“A study conducted in collaboration with Dr. Stuart Phillips revealed that older pre-diabetic individuals who took fewer than a thousand steps daily for two weeks experienced lasting decreases in protein synthesis and insulin sensitivity, which did not fully recover even after resuming regular activity.”

“An extended overnight fast can improve hemoglobin A1C levels, a biomarker for the three months average plasma glucose concentration, and C-reactive protein levels, a biomarker of inflammation.”

“The body has elegant mechanisms that allow it to utilize non-carbohydrate substrates to generate glucose. Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic pathway in which the liver produces glucose from non-carbohydrate substrates including glucogenic amino acids (from protein) and glycerol (from lipids).”

“In modern times, fasting and exercise are behaviors that mildly stress cells. Exercise promotes resilience, stimulates antioxidant defenses, and increases autophagy, the removal of damaged proteins and dysfunctional organelles.”
