“A new study done finds that mice made to do aerobic exercise made over four and a half times the number of new heart muscle cells than those that did not. In addition, after experiencing a heart attack, mice with treadmill access still ran five kilometers a day, voluntarily.”

“Older men and women that supplemented 500 mg of resveratrol a day combined with aerobic and resistance exercise for 12 weeks improved mitochondrial density and muscle fatigue and had a 45.3% increase in muscle fiber area and a 20% increase in total muscle fiber myonuclei compared to men in the placebo group.”

“This was an associative study so causation cannot be established. The data were corrected for potentially confounding factors like mode of delivery, gestational age, infant age during sampling, antibiotic treatments and breastfeeding status.”

“Additionally, men with low cardiorespiratory fitness reached abnormal HDL and non-HDL cholesterol levels around their early 20s and mid-30s, respectively, while those with higher fitness saw normal amounts for the entire lifespan.”

“The authors noted that a variety of factors might influence whether and to what degree vitamin C affects respiratory function during exercise, including the type of activity and the conditions under which it is performed, among others. Link to full study.”

“Research in humans is needed to determine the degree to which quercetin may blunt exercise-induced adaptations, especially studies that investigate varying types of exercise in combination with quercetin along with the dose and timing of supplementation.”

“While the associations were rated as relatively weak due to small effect sizes and inconsistent evidence across studies, the widespread consumption of these foods and the high burden of related diseases support continued public health recommendations to limit their intake.”

“Use of antibiotics may result in chronic inflammation and tumorigenesis due to overgrowth of pathogens such as Clostridium difficile; however, additional research is needed to understand the difference between classes of antibiotics and the effects of dose and duration.”

“Eight weeks of exercise training increased maximal heart rate (measured by VO2max or maximal oxygen intake) and reduced fat mass; however, participants did not experience a significant reduction in blood pressure, arterial stiffness, or total cholesterol compared to the participants who did not exercise.”

“A separate test measuring total protein levels found higher IL-1β, another protein involved in inflammatory responses, only at the middle dose, while Claudin-2 and ZO-1, the latter of which helps organize the seals between intestinal cells, rose only at the lowest dose.”
