“A review of randomized controlled trials found that people generally had enhancements in working memory performance and improved visual information processing after eating cocoa flavanols.Eating cocoa after a night of total sleep deprivation actually counteracted the cognitive impairment that lack of sleep can cause.”

“Previous research has examined the relationship between vitamin D and muscle function yielding inconsistent results; however, these studies have mainly focused on 25(OH)D3. The current study investigated whether other vitamin D metabolites are associated with muscle function.”

“Researchers purchased sports supplement products containing any one of five plant-based compounds commonly touted as having athletic performance-enhancing effects: R. vomitoria, methylliberine, turkesterone, halostachine, or octopamine.”

“The study revealed that children who had shorter sleep duration were more likely to experience depression and anxiety and were more likely to exhibit impulsive behavior and poor cognitive performance.”

“Findings from a recent study suggest that a single exposure to red light in the morning improves eyesight. Mitochondria have specific light absorbance characteristics that modulate their performance.”

“Females between the ages of 35 and 55 years (the period surrounding menopause) who had lower estradiol concentrations were more likely to exhibit greater structural network impairments and worse memory performance.”

“Exposure to estrogen did not influence performance on the memory tests directly, but participants with greater gray matter volume tended to perform better than those with lower volume.”

“BPA replacements such as BPS, BPF, and BPAF were shown to have similar endocrine-disrupting effects on sperm and egg cells as BPA and these effects persisted in males for several generations, according to a new animal study.”

“> "Improvements in this type of memory from exercise might help to explain the previously established link between aerobic exercise and better academic performance," says Jennifer Heisz, an assistant professor in the Department of Kinesiology at McMaster and lead author of the study.”

“In a previous episode, entitled "Maximizing Your Mitochondria with Magnesium," we learned that 45% of the US population is deficient in magnesium and the important role magnesium plays in mitochondrial function and how this relates to exercise performance by ensuring your muscle cells have the highest oxidative capacity (ability to produce ATP or "energy") possible.”
