“The sauna sessions were conducted twice a week for three months. The authors of the study assessed the participants' muscle mass, body mass, physical strength, walking speed, cardiorespiratory fitness, cognitive function and mood before and after the intervention.”

“Many adults with mild cognitive impairment progress to having Alzheimer’s disease; however, interventions that increase dietary antioxidant content may improve cognitive function and prevent further decline.”

“As humans age, the quality of the population of microbes that comprise the gut microbiota decreases, leading to poor gut barrier integrity and causing contents of the gut to leak into the bloodstream, a condition commonly referred to as "leaky gut."”

“Found in cell phones, televisions, computer screens, and a host of other electronic devices, LEDs emit short-wave, high-energy blue light, which has been linked to a wide range of harmful effects on health and sleep.”

“The investigators classified participants as having sarcopenia if they had low skeletal muscle index (i.e., the ratio of the muscle in a person's arms and legs to their height), poor grip strength, and slower walking speed.”

“Although the causes of ADHD are likely multifactorial, evidence suggests that nutrition may influence both the etiology and severity of the condition.
