“Such changes may start in the mother's eggs before conception and later shape how genes function as the brain develops. While the research was done in mice, it adds to growing evidence that maternal health before pregnancy can shape brain development in offspring.”

“Interestingly, they did not identify an interaction between adherence to a Mediterranean-style diet and the participants' genetic risk for dementia, suggesting that eating a healthy diet could reduce the risk of developing dementia even among those who are genetically predisposed to the condition.”

“Just one month after their heart attack, participants assigned to 16:8 time-restricted eating experienced a 6.6% increase in a measure of their heart’s pumping efficiency known as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared to a mere 1.5% increase in the regular diet group.”

“Researchers fed mice either normal mouse chow or mouse chow that contained a red food dye called Allura Red for 12 weeks and assessed their gut health. Allura Red, also known as FD&C Red 40 or Food Red 17, is used in many food products, including candy, soft drinks, dairy products, and some breakfast cereals.”

“Neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida, hydranencephaly) are a group of birth defects caused by incomplete development of the outer layers of the brain or spinal cord. Prenatal folate supplementation prevents an estimated 70 percent of neural tube defects, but additional therapies are needed.”

“VO2 max is a complex, multifaceted parameter that reflects the intricate coordination between the cardiovascular and musculoskeletal systems during exercise, based on various factors ranging from cardiac output (which can differ considerably between trained athletes and weekend runners) to muscle oxygen extraction.”

“The study involved nearly 12,000 children enrolled in the Adolescence Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) Study. The children underwent magnetic resonance imaging studies of their brains and completed questionnaires about their emotional and behavioral health.”

“However, a new study shows that higher vitamin K1 intake may also reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. People with higher K1 intake were more than 30 percent less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those with lower intake.”

“They measured the participants' blood vitamin D levels and monitored them for the development of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, for approximately 12 years.”

“Glycemic index is a value (between 0 and 100) assigned to a defined amount of a carbohydrate-containing food based on how much the food increases a person’s blood glucose level within two hours of eating, compared to eating an equivalent amount of pure glucose.”
