“After considering factors that might influence the children's cognitive performance, such as the mother's socioeconomic status or intelligence, the researchers found that compared to non-breastfed children, children who were breastfed for longer periods performed modestly higher on intelligence tests from early childhood into their teen years.”

“Before and after the intervention, they performed a time trial, where researchers tested their tolerance to low-oxygen levels. The researchers found that training during heat exposure improved athletic performance nearly as well as low oxygen exposure.”

“Dietary modification might be a useful strategy for improving or even reversing these declines. A recent study demonstrates that consumption of a wild blueberry extract improves metabolic function and cognitive performance in middle-aged adults.”

“Previous research has shown that vitamin D deficiency may decrease athletic performance. A study published in early 2020 in soccer players demonstrates the importance of maintaining year-round adequate vitamin D levels for athletes.”

“The researchers found that the two groups' physical performance differed considerably after one year. Exercising adults' performance improved in all measures, while sedentary adults' performance declined: *A decrease indicates faster speed.”

“Participants completed memory assessments and other cognitive testing before and after the supplement period. Participants consuming the spermidine supplement had moderately enhanced memory performance after three months compared to those who took the placebo.”

“Heat exposure elicits a wide range of physiological responses that promote health. Evidence suggests that resistance training in a heated environment enhances muscle hypertrophy and bolsters performance. This review examines the neuromuscular, hormonal, and molecular responses to training in heat and the resulting adaptations in strength and muscle growth.”

“However, the findings suggest that warming muscles before high-intensity exercise enhances power and performance, particularly at faster speeds. This benefit comes with a trade-off of earlier fatigue, potentially limiting endurance activity performance.”

Tim Ferriss discusses ketosis, the gut microbiome, and monitoring biomarkers to promote performance.

“Hormonal changes during and after menopause have wide-ranging effects on health. A new cross-sectional study examined whether hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was associated with better cognitive performance in older women.”
