“After six weeks, participants were about 1 pound (0.45 kg) heavier and had waists about 0.5 cm larger under shorter sleep, but MRI scans did not show a clear shift in body fat or skeletal muscle proportions. Changes in physical activity were limited to sedentary time.”

“Day 1-prefasting consists of an 800 kcal (about 40% of normal caloric intake similar to mouse Day1 FMD) monodiet (fruit, rice, or potatoes) by preference of individuals. On the following day patients were recommended to use an oral laxative, Natrium Sulfuricum (20-40 g).”

“Blueberry concentrate (30 ml/daily) for 12 weeks increased brain blood flow, brain activation and some parts of working memory in a small trial of older adults compared to placebo. The blueberry concentrate was equivalent to 230 g of blueberries. One of the compounds present in blueberries called pterostilbene has been shown in rodent studies to improve brain function.”

“Benefits appeared to level off around 5,001 to 7,500 steps per day. Even around 3,000 to 5,000 steps were linked to slower tau accumulation and cognitive decline versus inactive peers, although functional changes in everyday activities did not differ at this lower activity level.”

“The findings were based on data from more than 13,000 adults living in the United States who provided information about their dietary intake and cardiovascular health, gauged by several measures of cardiovascular function, such as blood pressure, as well as lifestyle choices, such as physical activity and tobacco avoidance.”

“PQQ is present in a variety of foods such as parsley, green tea, and fermented soybeans. PQQ is also abundant in human breast milk. The estimated daily intake of PQQ from typical foods and beverages are 0.01–0.4 mg/day. PQQ is an anti-oxidant and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis. Reduced PQQ exhibits a high anti-oxidant capacity that is 7.5-fold greater than that of ascorbic acid.”
