“Evidence suggests cinnamon improves lipid profiles and protects against damage induced by oxidative stress, improving metabolic profiles in people with type 2 diabetes. New research now shows that a component of cinnamon may promote hair growth.”

“For example, a comprehensive review of the effects of microplastics revealed that microplastics induce oxidative stress and increase the risk for metabolic dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and some cancers.”

“Learn more in this clip. Related Topics and Episodes Topic Pages Intestinal permeability - Intestinal permeability is a source of stress for the blood-brain barrier that increases permeability, injuring neurons and promoting disease.”

“The plastics detected included polyethylene, polypropylene, and PET, the same materials in everyday items like bags and bottles. These microplastics can cause inflammation and oxidative stress, leading to respiratory problems such as asthma and COPD.”

“Coffee intake seems to bolster the body's adaptation to stress in ways that increase healthspan in aged individuals. Coffee and Cardiovascular Health "Regular coffee drinkers have a notably lower risk of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes—around a 10–15% risk reduction is observed for individuals consuming 2–3 cups per day.".”

“Many factors promote methylation, including dietary intake, exercise, stress, smoking, and even social factors, such as maternal-infant interaction. The most common DNA methylation process involves adding a methyl group to one of the carbon atoms in the cytosine base, forming 5-methylcytosine.”

“Evidence suggests that endothelial cells that line the blood vessels of the brain release BDNF in response to shear stress – the increase in force that occurs during increased blood flow (as in exercise).”

“By doing this, metformin lowers cellular oxidative stress, and while that's often viewed as beneficial, oxidative stress is also a necessary signal (especially during exercise) to active AMPK, which is crucial for signaling vascular and other beneficial adaptations to exercise.”

“Researchers in the field of aging have posited several theories to explain how and why the body ages. One of these theories, the somatic mutation theory of aging, is based on the idea that DNA damage accumulates over time – the result of day-to-day living and oxidative stress.”

“Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2) is a cellular protein that regulates the expression of antioxidant and stress response proteins. It participates in the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE biological pathway – the primary mechanism by which sulforaphane exerts its beneficial effects.”
