“Findings from epidemiological studies suggest that diets high in red and processed meats increase a person's risk for type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer (particularly colorectal cancer), and all causes of premature death.”

“The researchers recruited 30 participants (average age, 33 years) without type 2 diabetes and asked them to follow an individualized diet plan that provided 50 to 65 percent of calories from carbohydrates for up to eight weeks.”

“Results showed that processing level, not just calories, shaped health outcomes: Men gained about 1.3 to 1.4 kilograms more (mostly from increased fat mass) on the ultra-processed diet than on the minimally processed diet, in both the adequate- and excess-calorie groups.”

“Melanopsin is specialized for communicating circadian information. To learn more how the important role early bright light exposure plays in circadian training, check out my first podcast episode with Dr. Satchin Panda, who discovered melanopsin.”

“In addition, children who breastfed for at least four months scored an average of two to three points higher on standardized tests than children who never breastfed. These findings suggest that breastfeeding for a longer duration modestly improves academic performance later in life.”

“The study included 364 older adults, ranging from healthy people to those with subjective cognitive decline, mild cognitive impairment, or Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers assessed the thickness and volume of participants' brain regions associated with language and Alzheimer’s progression.”

“However, the benefits depended on dose (which ranged from 90 milligrams to 2.5 grams), bioavailability, and timing, with post-exercise supplementation appearing most effective. These findings suggest that curcumin could be a useful supplement for athletes looking to minimize muscle soreness and recover faster.”

“Physical activity guidelines recommend 150–300 minutes of moderate or 75–150 minutes of vigorous activity per week, but it remains unclear whether short bursts spread throughout the day are linked to long-term benefits similar to longer bouts of exercise.”

“Previous research has shown that DNA methylation influences hypothalamic development in mice at specific time points early in life. In this study, transgenic mice that lacked the enzymes that facilitate DNA methylation in agouti-related proteins developed a sedentary phenotype later in life.”

“Children with overweight or obesity can develop nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) – an inflammatory condition in which fat builds up in the liver, replacing healthy tissue. Without intervention, NASH can progress to more advanced forms of liver disease, including cirrhosis and cancer.”
