“In small doses, stress can sharpen focus and improve resilience, but chronic stress gradually erodes emotional stability, increasing the risk of major depressive disorder. A recent study found that autophagy—the brain's recycling and housekeeping system—helps maintain emotional stability by removing old or damaged proteins.”

“Cancer cells tend to produce energy by fermenting glucose to produce lactic acid, which acidifies the tumor environment, a phenomenon known as “cancer acidosis.” The acidity of the tumor environment alters the way cancer cells metabolize fats, increasing both the storage and the breakdown of fats.”

“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).”

“A 2015 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study showed that eating omega-3 fatty acids from fish actually protects the brain from the toxic effects of mercury even in the developing fetus (which is the most susceptible to mercury effects).”

“The double-blind, randomized, controlled trial involved 451 healthy, full-term infants who received either regular formula or formula containing MFGM and lactoferrin (a protein found in human and cows' milk) at concentrations similar to human milk.”

“Findings from the study indicated that for every additional four hours of physical activity per week – roughly 35 minutes per day – the risk of having a new episode of depression were reduced by 17 percent.”

“The ketogenic diet has been used in the clinical setting to reduce seizures in children and is being investigated for the treatment of traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, weight loss, and cancer.”

“The heat tolerance tests revealed that the sauna users' peak rectal temperature decreased 0.2°C (0.36°F); skin temperature decreased 0.8°C (1.4°F); and heart rate decreased 11 beats per minute, compared to those who did not use the sauna.”

“Finally, they found that the centenarians' gut viruses possessed an abundance of auxiliary metabolic genes involved in sulfate metabolism, the byproducts of which promote gut integrity and pathogen resistance.”

“In addition, omega-3 supplementation influenced the distribution and accumulation of glutamate receptors and ion channels involved in synaptic plasticity, potentially influencing memory formation.”
