“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.”

“For example, while vitamin C acts primarily as an antioxidant at physiological concentrations of approximately 50 micromoles per liter, pharmacologic doses of intravenous vitamin C greater than 1 gram generate hydrogen peroxide, a type of reactive oxygen species produced by neutrophils to destroy pathogens such as viruses.”

“Additionally, I discuss how meditation has been shown to buffer against these negative effects on the brain and body by decreasing rumination, increasing gamma wave production, neuroplasticity, brain volume, and telomerase activity.”

“Months later their brains had many alpha-synuclein aggregates in their brains that negatively affected their motor function. Additionally, gut bacteria have been shown to be significantly different between healthy people and individuals with Parkinson's disease.”

“The reused oil was high in acrolein which has been shown to have carcinogenic activity and changed the activity in 455 different genes in the livers of mice. Additionally, reused soybean oil contains oxidized lipids and polymer molecules also accumulate.”

“In addition, HIIT induced negative feelings in the test subjects, which was associated with higher endorphin release. Although one-hour aerobic exercise did not induce significant release of endorphins, it increased pleasurable feelings and euphoria, which correlated with endorphin release.”

“Epigenetic alterations don't change the DNA sequence but how it is 'read.' In particular, DNA methylation, the addition of a methyl group (or molecule), is an epigenetic switch that can stably turn off genes, suggesting the potential to cause cancer just as a genetic mutation can.”

“Fasting is also known to have the effect of helping to clean up these cells (a process called autophagy). Additionally, senescent cells, which increase with old age, are dangerous because they secrete pro-inflammatory cytokines that damage other nearby cells thus accelerate the aging process.”

“Another study found that seniors who had the worst test scores on a smell test were 2.2 times more likely to show signs of mild cognitive decline. Olfactory cells in the nose that are responsible for a sense of smell require a constant supply of new stem cells from the olfactory bulb, a region in the forebrain.”

“In addition, these positive effects were shown quickly, at two weeks, and the supplements were well tolerated and similarly effective regardless of age, sex, or use of antidepressants, among other factors.”
