“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.”

“The allergy-prone children lacked anti-inflammatory polyunsaturated fatty acids and breast milk–derived oligosaccharides which caused an increase in inflammatory-producing immune cells and a decrease in immune cells that prevent autoimmune responses. Future studies will try and identify the exact causes of such disruptions in the infant microbiome including breastfeeding and mode of delivery.”

“The effects of lost sleep on memory may depend partly on how well brain cells control inflammation and maintain their energy supply. Researchers tested whether urolithin A, a compound made by gut microbes from food components, could protect memory in mice when given before sleep deprivation.”

“00:18:45 - Serotonin made in the gut has been shown to cause gastrointestinal inflammation by activating T cells and causing them to proliferate. Knocking out TPH1 in a mouse model of colitis ameliorates the inflammation associated with the disorder.”

“Only the nanoemulsion group showed improvements in Social IQ scores and language development, particularly in expressive language (speaking). These results suggest that how vitamin D is absorbed makes a difference, particularly in children with ASD, who may have trouble processing it due to altered gut metabolism.”

“Components of the upper respiratory system – the nose, trachea, and bronchi – play critical roles in protecting the body from infection by capturing inhaled pathogens in mucus, which can then be swallowed and destroyed in the gut.”

“The investigators conducted a two-part study to determine the effects of THC on gut inflammation. In the first part of the experiment, they gave mice that had colitis THC by mouth (10 milligrams per kilogram body weight) or a placebo treatment twice weekly for nine weeks.”

“For example, some evidence suggests that consumption of a diet high in fat drives inflammatory processes in the central nervous system and peripheral tissues, including the liver, adipose tissue, skeletal muscle, and gut, promoting metabolic dysfunction and weight gain.”

“The greatest effects occurred in the first three hours after taking the cocoa, with the blood pressure dropping approximately 5 mmHg. Blood pressures dropped again at approximately eight hours after consuming the cocoa supplement, likely due to bacterial metabolism of the flavonoids in the gut.”
