“Bone-building cells can absorb these particles, which appears to trigger oxidative stress, inflammation, and signs of premature cell aging. These stressed cells produce more of the chemical signals that drive bone breakdown.”

“Microglia are the brain’s resident immune cells. Their acute activation modulates inflammation and neurotoxicity, but chronic activation promotes brain inflammation and damage. Evidence suggests that microglia activation influences mood.”

“Addressing key factors such as diet, inflammation, insulin resistance, exercise, intermittent fasting, and sleep optimization seem to be most promising for preventing Alzheimer’s disease and slowing its progression.”

“There are several proposed mechanisms including immune system modulation (ie. inflammation) and changes in brain neurotransmitters via vagal nerve stimulation. More studies still need to confirm the efficacy of probiotics for the treatment of anxiety but results look promising.”

“Increased gut permeability (also known as "leaky gut") – a condition in which gaps form between the tight junctions of the endothelial cells that line the gut – allows pathogens to leak through the intestinal wall and pass directly into the bloodstream, promoting inflammation.”

“Before and after the exercise intervention, researchers measured changes in the number of key proteins in the participants' blood involved in inflammation, aging, and cellular stress responses.”

“Alcohol has profound, adverse effects on the human body, compromising liver function and cognitive performance and increasing the risk for various cancers. A recent study demonstrates that alcohol impairs mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism and increases inflammation in heart cells.”

“Inadequate sleep is also associated with increased preference for sweets and high-fat foods, increased inflammation, high blood pressure, and cognitive problems (less alert and have difficulty concentrating, reasoning and solving problems).”

“Microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, play a vital role in managing brain inflammation and neurodegenerative diseases by eliminating amyloid-beta, a harmful protein linked to Alzheimer's disease, and forming barriers around insoluble amyloid-beta deposits.”

“FTA: > Patients with increased inflammation, including those receiving cytokines for medical treatment, have a greatly increased risk of depression. For example, a 6-month treatment course of interferon-alpha therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus infection causes depression in approximately 30% of patients.”
