“Infants born by cesarean section have different microbial communities in and on their bodies than those born vaginally, potentially increasing their risk of developing certain diseases, such as asthma and obesity.”

“2003 According to Luc van Loon, 0.8 g/kg/day represents the minimum protein requirement to stay in nitrogen balance for a diet that is provided for 1–2 weeks, but this is not the protein requirement for optimal health, nor does it account for individual variations in protein needs due to age, physical activity levels, and health status.”

“The double-blind, randomized, controlled trial involved 451 healthy, full-term infants who received either regular formula or formula containing MFGM and lactoferrin (a protein found in human and cows' milk) at concentrations similar to human milk.”

“A growing body of evidence suggests that microplastics – tiny plastic particles ranging between 5 millimeters and 100 nanometers – are pro-inflammatory, potentially contributing to chronic disease.”

“Researchers have identified a tiny component of an antibody that neutralizes SARS-CoV-2 by blocking its capacity to bind to the angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. SARS-CoV-2 exploits the ACE2 receptor to gain entry into cells.”

“The greatest benefits were obtained in the lumbar spine, an area that is particularly vulnerable to the damaging effects of bone loss. High-load resistance training involves using heavier weights and performing fewer repetitions (typically 8 to 12 per set per exercise) than ordinary resistance training.”

“Chronic inflammation is a dominant feature in people who have depression, suggesting that an overactive immune response drives the disease's symptoms.”

“A recent review and meta-analysis found that drop sets promote muscle hypertrophy as effectively as traditional training but require less time commitment. Researchers analyzed the findings of six studies investigating the effects of drop-set training on muscle hypertrophy.”

“Resistance training also increased levels of biglycan, a protein that promotes wound healing and skin resilience via its interactions with collagen. The researchers also noted an increase in the expression of genes related to the skin cells' extracellular matrix.”
