“Key Takeaways on Sleep Timing and Health "​​these results explain part of why one might not feel as good when they go to bed at an odd time, sleep in until noon, or eat a late-night meal—the body just isn't primed (from a chronobiological perspective) to handle this quick shift."”

“Because of alcohol’s effect on other organs and the evidence that any dose of alcohol appears to elevate cancer risk, Dr. Huberman thinks that zero to two drinks per week represents a “safe zone” as long as you’re of age, not pregnant, and not an alcoholic.”

“In a randomized crossover study, eight trained men completed four days of daily cycling while eating either a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet (12 percent carbohydrate) or a normal-carbohydrate diet (62 percent carbohydrate).”

“A pilot study finds supplementation with nicotinamide riboside (500 mg, twice a day) improves blood pressure and arterial health particularly in individuals with mild hypertension (compared to placebo). The decrease in blood pressure could translate to a 25% reduction in heart attack risk.”

“A growing body of evidence indicates that eating a fiber-rich diet decreases the risks of many chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, and some types of cancer, including breast cancer and colon cancer.”

“Compared with the least-regular sleepers, the groups with more regular sleep patterns had about 20% to 30% lower rates of death from any cause during follow-up, after the researchers accounted for demographic, lifestyle, social, and health factors.”

“Unlike chemicals that are rapidly eliminated in urine, some long-chain PFAS undergo biliary excretion and intestinal reabsorption, contributing to biological half-lives measured in years and the nickname “forever chemicals.” PFAS exposure may increase the risk of cancer, liver damage, and immune system impairment.”

“Participants that were low in vitamin D at the start of the clinical trial were able to successfully raise the levels of the major form of circulating vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D3) if they took a magnesium supplement along with their vitamin D supplement.”

“To investigate creatine's effects on blood vessel health—specifically by measuring the ability of arteries and small blood vessels to increase in size to accommodate blood flow (known as endothelial function)—one study recruited 12 healthy men and women with an average age of 59 and supplemented them with creatine or a placebo for 28 days each.”

“Many popular diet programs emphasize calorie reduction as a means to lose weight. However, this approach to weight loss minimizes evidence suggesting that the gut microbiota plays important roles in body weight and likely influences the host's metabolic response to diet.”
