“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.”

“If you have used a consumer genetic testing service like 23andMe or AncestryDNA and want to learn more about whether or not the data indicates your specific genotype on these SNPs, check out our free viral report here.”

“Finally, the researchers measured gene expression in the hippocampus, one the major memory centers of the brain. Adult sugar-fed rats exhibited impaired performance on memory tasks associated with the hippocampus, but not other memory centers.”

“The authors recruited 18 healthy adults and randomly assigned them to consume eight ounces of either kefir (i.e., a fermented dairy beverage with 12 strains of active bacteria) or low-fat lactose-free milk daily for four weeks.”

“These adaptations were blunted by pre-exercise feeding. Pre-exercise feeding did enhance performance in long-duration exercise (> 60 minutes) but had no effect on aerobic training shorter than 60 minutes. Pre-exercise feeding also slightly enhanced anaerobic exercise (ie.”

“Findings from a new study suggest that caffeine in coffee improves fat metabolism when consumed prior to exercise. Caffeine is an alkaloid compound with potent stimulatory effects. Evidence indicates it improves performance in both endurance and resistance exercise.”

“Immunized mice with greater hippocampal volume performed better on learning and memory tasks. Immunization with the novel pseudo hairpin structure reversed amyloid-beta aggregation in the brain and improved brain health and cognitive performance in mice.”

“Participants were in nutritional ketosis on most days, with average fasting blood ketone levels of 0.7 millimoles per liter. Average weight loss was 5.0 kilograms (6.2 percent of body mass). Cognitive performance improved in several areas.”

“Only the BFRT group improved mitochondrial respiration in fat tissue and reduced visceral fat, the fat stored deep in the abdomen around internal organs and strongly linked to insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease risk.”
