“The damage could be repaired by two days of catch-up sleep. DNA repair enzymes were significantly decreased in sleep-deprived animals. This is no surprise because repair mechanisms occur during sleep.”

“A high proportion of Prevotella bacteria in relation to Bacteroides bacteria was associated with more weight loss on a diet high in fruit, vegetables, fiber and whole grains. People with a high proportion of Bacteroides in relation to Prevotella bacteria did not seem to have a weight loss benefit when changing to this type of diet.”

“02:11:17 - How poor sleep disrupts the gut microbiome. Study. 02:21:17 - How one cup of coffee in the evening can decrease deep sleep by about 20 percent — an amount that Dr. Walker suggests is equivalent to aging by 10 or 15 years.”

“Dietary fiber refers to the indigestible components of plant-based foods. The fermentation of dietary fibers in the gut produces molecules that modulate immune function by way of T regulatory cells, such as the short-chain fatty acids.”

“Vitamin K1 is synthesized by plants and is the major form found in the diet. Vitamin K2 molecules are synthesized by the gut microbiota and found in fermented foods and some animal products (especially liver). Vitamin K is essential throughout the lifecycle.”

“These findings suggest that adopting multiple healthy lifestyle behaviors, such as not smoking, staying physically active, and getting good sleep, can significantly reduce the risk of developing IBS. Learn more about factors that influence gut health in this episode featuring Dr. Eran Elinav.”

“Bacteria in the human gut break down ellagic acid to produce compounds called urolithins. Scientists have identified about 20 urolithins, but the most studied of these is urolithin A, which exerts potent anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties.”

“Walnuts are rich in the polyphenolic compound ellagic acid. Bacteria in the human gut break down ellagic acid to produce urolithins. Scientists have identified about 20 urolithins, but the most studied of these is urolithin A, which exerts potent anti-obesity effects.”

“Fungi drive many chronic health conditions, including asthma, skin problems, gut disorders, and others. Recent research has highlighted potential links between the fungus Candida albicans and Alzheimer's disease. A recent study in mice found that C.”

“Those who practiced intermittent fasting also experienced reductions in blood pressure, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, LDL, and triglycerides. Weaker evidence indicated that intermittent fasting improved appetite regulation and gut microbial diversity.”
