“A meta-analysis of over 30 studies conducted in China finds that people 50 years old and older are around 2.5x more likely to progress to a severe case of COVID-19, males had 1.3x higher risk, smoking increased risk 1-2x, and pre-existing conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease increased risk by 2-3x.”

“These findings add to a growing number of studies investigating the role of diet and obesity in cognitive decline. The authors encourage future researchers to investigate the interactions between olfactory and endocrine systems in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.”

“This study was a review of other large studies and found that runners live on average 3 years longer than non-runners. The data was adjusted for lifestyle factors including CVD, smoking, overweight/obesity, heart health, diabetes, high cholesterol and more.”

“Some of berberine's effects mirror those associated with metformin, an antihyperglycemic agent commonly used to treat type 2 diabetes. Preliminary research in animals also suggests that berberine may exert anti-aging properties and might be beneficial in combating aging-related diseases.”

“Additionally, sedentary behavior is also associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity which may also have a negative impact on brain health.”

“It integrates other pathways including insulin, growth factors (such as IGF-1), and amino acids and plays a key role in mammalian metabolism and physiology. The pathway is dysregulated in many human diseases, such as diabetes, obesity, depression, and certain cancers.”

“A 2012 study found that reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training (REHIT) improved aerobic capacity and metabolic health in people who were sedentary – a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. The study involved 29 sedentary young adults.”

“Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA), a type of drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, overweight, and obesity. GLP-1RA medications work in the pancreas to lower blood glucose levels by promoting the production and release of insulin.”

“A growing body of evidence indicates that eating a fiber-rich diet decreases the risks of many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and some types of cancer, including breast cancer and colon cancer.”

“Over the past 50 years, the rates of childhood cancers have increased by an astonishing 35%. Other non-communicable diseases have increased, as well, including male reproductive birth defects, autism spectrum disorder, asthma, and type 2 diabetes.”
