“Some types of inflammation are damaging to the body, while others, usually more transient and playing a signaling role, can be beneficial. Chronic inflammation creates reactive oxygen species that damage DNA, cellular proteins, and lipids.”

“Vaccinologists developed mRNA vaccines to instruct a cell to make proteins that stimulate the immune system against SARS-CoV-2. Some people fear these vaccines are a type of gene therapy that can incorporate into human DNA and alter genes.”

“However, some donors' cells elicited responses to protein (9%) and fat (8%) greater than their response to carbohydrates. Cells from donors with type 2 diabetes exhibited diminished responses to carbohydrates and fats, but their protein response was preserved.”

“Researchers believe incorporating these fatty acids into mitochondrial membranes might alter ADP handling and oxygen utilization, potentially affecting muscle protein synthesis and energy production.”

“They often emerge in mid-to-late adult life and are increasingly common, affecting roughly 37 million people worldwide – a number expected to increase as human lifespan increases. Although scientists don't fully understand the underlying causes of most neurodegenerative diseases, protein aggregation in the brain is a widely accepted contributing factor.”

“In this clip, Dr. Valter Longo describes how a fasting-mimicking diet can reduce markers of inflammation, such as C-reactive protein and Interleukin-6, possibly by killing damaged cells and regenerating others and resetting the system back to a more youthful state.”

“One of the mechanisms associated with resveratrol's actions is the activation of autophagy, a cellular defense program that targets old, damaged proteins for destruction and recycling.”

“00:55:05 - The importance of adequate protein during the refeeding phase following prolonged fasting or the fasting-mimicking to promote proper growth signaling to restore systems that have been broken down.”

“The mechanisms that drive the effects of sauna bathing include activation of heat shock proteins and pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines; decreased blood pressure and arterial stiffness; and multiple improvements in cardiovascular function.”

“The MFGM is interspersed with a variety of proteins, enzymes, and cholesterol that together exert bioactive properties that confer many of the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties of breast milk.”
