“The accumulation of visceral fat is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases. Many factors drive visceral fat accumulation, including poor sleep, an obesogenic diet, and sugar-sweetened beverage intake, among others.”

“While there seems to be mounting evidence that coffee is beneficial - it is important to keep in mind that it shifts the body’s internal clock and if consumed later in the day - may disrupt sleep which could counteract positive benefits.”

“01:11:13 - Sulforaphane increases antioxidant compound glutathione in human brain. Study. 01:36:19 - Amyloid plaques in brain are cleared away during sleep.”

“During wakefulness and periods of REM sleep, the human brain exhibits spontaneous rhythmical activity in the form of fast-moving gamma waves. These waves are evoked by intense attention, conditioned responses, tasks requiring fine movements, or sensory stimuli.”

“A new study suggests that yoga decreases symptoms of depression by increasing brain levels of gamma-aminobutyric acid. Depression is a mood disorder characterized by profound sadness, altered sleep patterns, and feelings of guilt or low self-worth.”
