“FTA: > Following cancer prevention guidelines from the American Cancer Society may modestly reduce your overall risk of developing cancer and have a greater impact on reducing your overall risk of dying early, a study of nearly a half-million Americans has found. Having a healthy body weight and staying active appeared to have the most positive impact.”

“Findings from the study indicated that for every additional four hours of physical activity per week – roughly 35 minutes per day – the risk of having a new episode of depression were reduced by 17 percent.”

“However, administering spermidine to the older mice enhanced follicle development, oocyte maturation, and early embryonic development, thereby boosting the animals' overall fertility. They also found that the older mice exhibited impaired ovarian mitophagy, but spermidine restored it.”

“From the article: > "We found that prenatal alcohol exposure generally increased brain neurotrophin levels in adult rats," said Berman. "This suggests that neurotrophin levels increased as compensation for damage to the developing brain from prenatal alcohol exposure. Results also demonstrated that the effects of prenatal alcohol exposure can be enduring and last into adulthood."”

“In addition, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving people diagnosed with mild-to-moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease found that participants who took a resveratrol supplement twice a day (up to 1 gram) for one year exhibited reduced levels of MMP9, a neurological inflammatory marker associated with increased neurodegeneration and inflammation.”

“Insulin resistance in the brain is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and is one reason why some researchers refer to the condition as “Type 3 diabetes.” Melatonin has been shown to enhance beta-cell function (the beta-cells are insulin-producing cells in the pancreas) and reduce the burden of beta-amyloid plaques and tau hyperphosphorylation in the brain of diabetic rats.”

“Latent viruses, the kind we don't even know we have, can have subtle effects like being associated with the development of cancer (in the case of herpes simplex almost everyone carries one form of the virus). That's why it's very interesting that we may actually have a future in which these viruses can be removed from our genome, thanks to CRISPR.”

“Approximately 70 percent of people living in the United States have low vitamin D levels. Findings of a study presented at a 2016 scientific conference suggested that vitamin D insufficiency is associated with increased risk for developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).”

“Researchers quantified the proteins present in the internal organs of mice and the plasma of humans and found that exercise alters multiple aspects of metabolism, including glucose uptake, mitochondrial activity, and carbohydrate utilization.”

“Anti-caries agents prevent or reduce the development of dental caries, also known as cavities or tooth decay. Common anti-caries agents include fluoride mouth rinses, toothpaste formulations, and dental varnishes or sealants.”
