“However, if high levels of AGEs accumulate in the tissues and blood, they can become pathogenic. High AGE levels are common features of many chronic diseases. In this Aliquot, Dr. Patrick provides an overview of AGEs and describes some ways to reduce them in your diet and your body.”

“Researchers in Dr. D'Agostino's laboratory observed a decreased tumor burden and enhanced survival in animals that were provided a ketone supplement, even if they were fed a high-carbohydrate diet.”

“Recent data from animal studies indicate that time-restricted feeding – even in overweight animals eating a poor diet – has beneficial effects on metabolic health. Studies investigating whether the same benefits will be observed in a real-world setting in humans are lacking, however.”

“Simple, moderate healthy behaviors can add up to reduce the risk of breast cancer. Such lifestyle choices include diet quality and timing, engaging in physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, drinking alcohol in moderation, and not smoking.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that exercise promotes weight loss in diet-resistant women by boosting mitochondrial function. Mitochondria are tiny cellular organelles that produce energy in the presence of oxygen.”

“Defining a diet plan for longevity involves tailoring the macronutrient content to the individual's particular needs. As a starting point, Dr. Attia suggests people consume just enough protein to maintain and grow muscle mass.”

“Evidence suggests that drugs or other medical procedures can slow epigenetic aging, but other factors, such as diet and disease states influence it too. This Aliquot features Dr. Steve Horvath, an expert in epigenetics and biostatistics and creator of the Horvath epigenetic aging clock.”

“While ketogenic diets may not be optimal for adding muscle mass, they may be suitable for preserving muscle mass and improving other metabolic parameters, particularly during weight loss and fasting.”

“Obesogenic diets appear to accelerate epigenetic aging, contributing to metabolic dysfunction across multiple generations. Conversely, animal studies suggest that caloric restriction may slow epigenetic aging.”
