“Researchers conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of 11 studies involving more than 3,100 healthy adults investigating the effects of cold-water exposure on mental and physical health markers, including mood, stress, immunity, inflammation, and sleep quality.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that specialized immune cells called microglia are present in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex of humans only, setting them apart in terms of cognitive abilities but making them more vulnerable to language and neuropsychiatric disorders.”

“The study involved 90 men and women living in the United Kingdom (UK) who were heavy drinkers – consuming roughly five times the recommended amount of alcohol each week per UK standards – but did not have an alcohol abuse disorder.”

“Exercise reversed some of this type of damage in the smoke-exposed exercise group. "Regular endurance exercise training seems to protect long-term smokers against some important negative local and systemic consequences of smoking," the researchers wrote.”

“Randomized trials and a meta-analysis show that at least three grams of oat beta-glucan per day can lower LDL by about five to seven percent, with high-molecular-weight products producing the most consistent effects.”

“It has attracted interest for its potential to activate mitophagy, the process cells use to clear out damaged mitochondria. In this Aliquot, I explain why mitochondrial cleanup matters for aging, why urolithin A production varies, and what early human studies suggest about its potential benefits.”

“The impact of the ketogenic diet on gut bacteria has not been actively studied. In animal models high-fat diets are thought to provoke the release of endotoxin from bacterial cell membranes resulting in negative health consequences. In this clip, Dr. Dominic D'Agostino and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss the ketogenic diet and its implications for gut health.”

“A recent study found that supplementing the diets of lactating women with flaxseed oil altered the levels of some omega-3 fatty acids in breast milk, plasma, and red blood cells but not DHA. The study involved seven lactating women who consumed 20 grams of flaxseed oil daily for four weeks.”

“Muscle architecture, the internal structure of muscle fibers that influences force production, improved and maximal strength showed a small increase; tendon morphology, meaning tendon shape and structure, was also enhanced, while tendon function did not change.”

“A 2020 study in flies and mice showed that reactive oxygen species, which drive oxidative stress, accumulate in the gut during sleep deprivation, leading to death. Researchers deprived flies and mice of sleep for various durations, occasionally allowing them to sleep.”
