“A Mediterranean diet consists of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, oily fish, and nuts which contain polyphenols, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids which are known to attenuate inflammation and thought to prevent coronary thrombosis.”

“Sedentary behavior may have negative effects on brain health by decreasing neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, neurotrophin production, angiogenesis, and by increasing inflammation.”

“Previous research has demonstrated that many factors can affect the rate of telomere shortening. The dietary balance of the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) omega-3 and omega-6 — which influence inflammation — might be a factor.”

“Assessments included measures of mitochondrial fuel oxidation, oxidative stress, inflammation, glucose metabolism, body composition, and strength tests, among others. The old adults took a GlyNAC supplement (dose varied according to the participants' bodyweight) every day for 24 weeks; the young adults did not take a GlyNAC supplement.”

“Scientists don't fully understand what causes PASC, but viral persistence, chronic inflammation, hypercoagulability, and autonomic dysfunction likely play roles. A recent study links these drivers to a single cause: low serotonin levels.”

“Byproducts of omega-3 metabolism called specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs) have distinct roles in promoting the resolution of inflammation, restoring homeostasis, and supporting tissue repair. Learn more about SPMs in this episode featuring omega-3 expert Dr. Bill Harris.”

“As their name suggests, NSAIDs block inflammation, an important early step in bone healing. Taking NSAIDs increases a person’s risk for many complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding and cardiovascular events, such as stroke or heart attack.”

“These remarkable and diverse molecules reduce the inflammation that promotes many chronic diseases, including heart failure. Learn more about specialized pro-resolving mediators in this clip featuring Dr. Bill Harris. Link to full publication.”

“Omega-3 fatty acids are biologically linked to dementia risk because they are used to make signaling molecules that actively regulate inflammation, including inflammation within the brain. Chronic brain inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributor to neurodegeneration.”

“A small clinical trial found that eating fatty fish high in omega-3 such as salmon twice a week for six months reduced asthma symptoms and reduced bronchial inflammation by 14 units in children.”
