“Evidence suggests that plant-based proteins – when consumed in sufficient quantities – can support muscle hypertrophy in resistance training, which would in turn support bone health. Learn more in this episode featuring Dr. Stuart Phillips. Read study abstract.”

“00:29:20 - Organs shrink during fasting and then regrow after refeeding. Study. 00:29:45 - Fasting stresses healthy cells so they increase their stress-response pathways, including heat shock proteins, antioxidant production, and anti-inflammatory.”

“However, only low free 25(OH)D but not free 1,25(OH)2D levels predicted death from all causes. It's noteworthy that this was an observational study, and the causal relationships and underlying mechanisms were not identified. Link to press release (and study abstract).”

“Unique qualities of the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA There are several omega-3 fatty acids, but the ones that have the greatest relevance for human health are the two identified in the Inuit's blood – EPA and DHA – as well as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is found in a wide variety of seeds, nuts, and their oils.”

Many of the anabolic effects of growth hormone are thought to be mediated by insulin-like growth factor-1, or IGF-1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18500379), which is synthesized primarily in the liver but also in skeletal muscle in response to growth hormone.

“Known for his work in the field of muscle physiology and aging, Dr. McGlory's research focuses on elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying muscle protein synthesis and degradation, with a particular emphasis on the roles that omega-3 fatty acids play in maintaining muscle health in older adults.”

“Evidence suggests that sulforaphane, a bioactive compound derived from broccoli, counters some of the harmful effects of particulate matter. Learn more about sulforaphane in our comprehensive overview article. Read study abstract.”

“However, they concluded that zinc (as lozenges or syrup) reduced the duration and symptoms of a cold in otherwise healthy people when given at the onset of symptoms. When given for at least five months, zinc also reduced the incidence of colds by 37 percent. Link to study abstract.”

“These findings suggest that exercise in middle age throughout older age is protective for the brain and underscore public health messaging for people of all ages to engage in more physical activity. Link to study abstract.”
