“Cases of new-onset diabetes, hyperglycemia, and diabetic ketoacidosis (a life-threatening condition that can accompany hyperglycemia) in people who have had COVID-19 are on the rise. The SARS-CoV-2 virus exploits the ACE2 receptor to gain entry into cells and replicate.”

“Chronic sleep deprivation, a risk factor for cardiovascular and Alzheimer’s diseases, is common among adults in industrialized nations, with many reporting less than seven hours of sleep each night during the workweek.”

“Although the cardiometabolic effects of added sugars in adults have been well-documented, the effects of sugar sweetened beverages on brain function, especially in children, is under-investigated. Findings of a new report show an association between sugar-sweetened beverage consumption and poorer cognitive performance in children.”

“Maternal choline supplementation is protective against a wide array neurological disorders including fetal alcohol exposure, autism, down syndrome, cognitive aging, and [Alzheimer's disease)[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26391046/].”

“Intrinsic aging is largely driven by internal physiological factors such as normal metabolism and genetics, whereas extrinsic aging is associated with lifestyle and environmental exposures, such as diet, tobacco use, ultraviolet radiation, and mental illness.”

“However, those who engaged in regular physical activity were protected: For every 30-minute increase in weekly leisure-time physical activity, the risk of experiencing a ruptured brain aneurysm decreased by 5 percent.”

“During this visit, their body composition was measured with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), which provided detailed readings of overall body fat, lean mass, and visceral fat (fat stored around internal organs).”

“This slower tau buildup largely accounted for the association between higher activity and slower decline in cognitive performance, and partly for slower decline in the capacity to manage everyday tasks. Benefits appeared to level off around 5,001 to 7,500 steps per day.”

“Creatine increases muscle stores of phosphocreatine, which rapidly replenishes energy during forceful contractions. That extra reserve could improve lifting performance even without structured training and, with regular exercise, help muscles sustain the work that drives adaptation.”
