“2003 According to Luc van Loon, 0.8 g/kg/day represents the minimum protein requirement to stay in nitrogen balance for a diet that is provided for 1–2 weeks, but this is not the protein requirement for optimal health, nor does it account for individual variations in protein needs due to age, physical activity levels, and health status.”

“Pooled intervention data suggest that about 1.5 to 2 grams of combined EPA and DHA per day can raise the Omega-3 Index in many adults over several months, although individual responses vary.”

“Meditation, in its various forms, has powerful effects on the brain and body. In this second part of our two-part series on meditation, we'll discuss some of the different ways to engage in meditation as well as some of its parallel practices, such as running or communing with nature.”
