“Protein exerts variable effects (both good and bad) on a person's calcium balance, depending on their dietary calcium intake. For example, dietary protein promotes the production of insulin-like growth factor-1, a protein involved in bone formation.”

“By contrast, sugar-sweetened beverages, which were strongly linked to a higher risk of death, can lead to fat buildup in the liver, promoting insulin resistance and increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.”

“Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar and insulin resistance. Long-term complications from poorly controlled type 2 diabetes include heart disease, stroke, diabetic retinopathy (and subsequent blindness), kidney failure, and diminished peripheral blood flow, which may lead to amputations.”

“The relationship between IL-6 and human health is multifaceted: Interleukin-6 serves as a critical component of the immune response by mediating the acute phase response and fostering beneficial outcomes such as insulin sensitization after exercise.”

“Calorie restriction and weight loss may slow biological aging by reducing metabolic stress, inflammation, insulin resistance, glucose dysregulation, and adipokine signaling—signals that several epigenetic clocks can detect.”

“Both ketone supplements strengthened the normal post-meal drop in circulating non-esterified fatty acids (fats released from body fat stores) that is typically blunted in patients with type 2 diabetes because their fat tissue does not respond well to insulin.”

“DAD and DAT improved insulin sensitivity and physical performance under both diets, with DAD showing stronger improvements in blood sugar control after a glucose drink among mice on the high-fat diet.”

“Likewise, insulin-like growth factor concentrations increased following a high-protein meal regardless of time and likely did not affect the rate of hypertrophy. However, the activation of autophagy in overloaded muscle was greater in mice that consumed a high-protein breakfast compared to a high-protein dinner, potentially contributing to a higher rate of hypertrophy.”

“Circadian rhythms play key roles in metabolic health and ultimately influence body weight, performance, and susceptibility to diseases like diabetes and cancer. Aligning food intake with circadian rhythms can improve many aspects of metabolic health.”

“Late-night eating can have negative effects on our health. But time-restricted eating limits the daytime window during which a person eats to take advantage of the time when metabolism is optimized, improving health and even promoting weight loss.”
