“Participants who engaged in 300 to 599 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise each week (double the guideline) were 3 to 13 percent less likely to die prematurely, and those who engaged in 150 to 299 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise each week (double the guideline) were 2 to 4 percent less likely to die prematurely.”

“Military veterans, especially those engaging in special operations, are at greater risk for developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). A recent study found that psychedelic drugs reduce the symptoms associated with PTSD and TBI and improve cognition in special operations veterans.”

“These findings can be interpreted in light of psychological theories. One is the stress-and-coping model, which suggests that forgiving others can help reduce ongoing negative feelings like anger, resentment, or the urge to get back at someone.”

“Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can remain severe even after sustained medication and psychotherapy. A pilot study examined safety and early symptom changes during a course of psilocybin-assisted therapy in US military veterans whose symptoms had resisted those treatments.”

“CSF is pushed and pulled by rhythms from the heart, breathing, blood vessels, and brain activity. Focused attention can calm the body's stress-response system while slowing breathing and heart rate, changing several of those forces at once.”

“Their offspring demonstrated better motor coordination, better learning and memory, less anxiety, and greater stress resilience than mice whose mothers were not supplemented. The improvements in learning were attributed to increased levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the mothers' milk.”

“In a study in which old mice, 26 to 28 months of age, were administered 300 mg/kg/bw of nicotinamide mononucleotide in their diet for 8 weeks, age‐associated arterial dysfunction and oxidative stress were reversed and arterial SIRT1 activity was increased.”

“Visceral fat promotes chronic low-grade inflammation and releases immune signals that can alter brain circuits involved in mood regulation. By contrast, fitness and muscle mass may promote resilience by supporting healthier stress responses.”

“On mental health scales, heavier use tracked with small but consistent signs of worse well-being (especially more anxiety and stress), and with weaker links to depression, loneliness, negative mood, and poorer sleep, while self-esteem and body image scores showed no clear pattern.”

“Carotenoid molecules are long chains of carbon atoms connected via double bonds. Because of this unique electron structure, carotenoids can donate multiple electrons to free radicals, quenching oxidative stress. Carotenoids are antioxidants that specialize in photoprotection.”
