“Similarly, exercise induces changes in skeletal muscle fuel utilization to preserve glycogen stores and blood glucose levels for glucose-dependent tissues, switching from glucose to fat as the primary energy source.”

“Beneficial effects were noted with the Nordic, portfolio, and low-salt diets, as well. The evidence supporting the blood pressure-lowering effects of the Mediterranean, vegetarian, Paleolithic, low-carbohydrate, low glycemic index, high-protein, and low-fat diets was inconsistent.”

“Widely recognized for its evidence-based guidelines, DASH is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, poultry, legumes, and healthy fats and is low in saturated fats and sweets. Findings from a 2021 study suggest that the DASH diet slows epigenetic aging.”

“During the exercise and diet program, body-fat percentage fell significantly more with creatine than placebo: 3.24 versus 1.87 percentage points. Creatine increases muscle stores of phosphocreatine, which rapidly replenishes energy during forceful contractions.”

“They found that participants who wore the heavy vest lost an average of 1.37 percent more bodyweight than those who wore the light vest, translating to about 3.5 pounds. Those who wore the heavy vests also lost fat mass and gained fat-free mass.”

“The authors recruited 24 participants who had obesity and prediabetes and randomly assigned them to either a high-carb diet (55 percent carbohydrate, 30 percent fat, 15 percent protein) or a high-protein diet (30 percent protein, 30 percent fat, 40 percent carbohydrate) for six months.”

“Dixit said it is well known that fasting and calorie restriction reduces inflammation in the body, but it was unclear how immune cells adapt to reduced availability of glucose and if they can respond to metabolites produced from fat oxidation.”

“> People who have obesity and diabetes have higher rates of cognitive impairment as they age and most of the related structural changes are in the hippocampus, a center of learning and memory and Stranahan's focus of study. Fat is a source of inflammation and there is evidence that reducing chronic inflammation in the brain helps prevent obesity-related memory loss.”

“Findings of a recent report demonstrate the beneficial effects of time-restricted eating on exercise performance in power athletes. Increasing muscle mass and decreasing fat mass is an important goal for many athletes because increasing their strength-to-mass ratio improves performance.”

“Other findings suggest that altering dietary composition, such as increasing or decreasing protein, fat, or carbohydrate content, also influences longevity. Similarly, many drugs and bioactive compounds have demonstrated longevity-promoting qualities.”
