“01:36:35 - How increased muscle mass helps achieve lower blood sugar levels – reducing overall mortality – and the potential for suboptimal glycemic control long before doctors identify it. 01:52:28 - Peter's 80% zone 2 / 20% VO2 max training protocol.”

“FTA: > Yogurt containing probiotic bacteria successfully protected children and pregnant women against heavy metal exposure in a recent study. Canadian and Tanzanian researchers created and distributed a special yogurt containing Lactobacillus rhamnosus bacteria and observed the outcomes against a control group.”

“The sugar is known as human milk oligosaccharides (HMO's), which have previously been shown to feed beneficial bacteria in the infant's gut. The HMO's have now been shown to sensitize target bacteria including Strep B (which many pregnant women test positive for) and then they kill them.”

“They have also been shown to activate DNA repair and autophagy, the clearing away of damaged components inside of cells.

“Vitamin C deficiency is widespread and may impact early development: > In some areas in the world, vitamin C deficiency is very common – population studies in Brazil and Mexico have shown that 30 to 40 per cent of the pregnant women have too low levels of vitamin C, and the low level is also found in their foetuses and new-born babies.”
