“Participants consuming the most caffeine (232 milligrams of caffeine per day or more, the amount in 20 ounces of coffee) had a reduction in intraocular pressure of 0.10 millimeters of mercury (the unit used for blood and eye pressure) compared to participants with the lowest caffeine intake (less than 87 milligrams per day, the amount in one 8-ounce cup of coffee).”

“Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that are very concentrated in the rods and cones of the eye where they protect them from damage from singlet oxygen. These carotenoids have very recently been found in the brain so this new research that demonstrates a role for them in neural efficiency is exciting and one more reason to eat your kale!”

“A recent study found that a nasal spray that delivered neural stem cell extracellular vesicles—tiny particles that carry proteins and genetic material—reduced inflammation and improved brain function in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease, offering a safer, less risky approach.”

“Since nicotinamide mononucleotide is found in a variety of food sources such as vegetables, fruits, and meat, future studies will focus on understanding whether it also prevents age-related physiological decline in humans.”

“Telomere length is a biomarker for the aging because they get shorter every year. However, this study suggests that maternal nutrition may actually play a role in determining the length of telomeres that we have to start with.”

“Then, using a small mechanical device, they gently compressed the animals' skin in three areas: from around the eyes down to the jaw; from the side of the nose down to the jaw; and along specific lymphatic vessels leading to a lymph node under the jaw.”

“Sleep scientists generally categorize the various phases of human sleep as REM (rapid-eye movement – the period when dreams occur) and NREM (non-rapid-eye movement – the period typically described as "deep sleep").”

“Let your eyes see the daylight you need to reset. Sleep-Tracking Devices "Sleep trackers can be useful mirrors but they are not diagnostic tools. They are best used to spot trends, learn about your habits, and test adjustments—not to chase perfect scores."”

“The fascinating way Dr. Panda is using human anecdote from his trial to ask new scientific questions he wouldn't think to ask and then going back to animal data to figure it out and how this unique approach forms a sort of closed loop pattern: animal → human feedback → back to animal for mechanism.”

“In a new study, researchers examined whether low intake of the carotenoid lycopene, a red pigment found in fruits and vegetables such as tomatoes, is linked to severe periodontitis in older adults.”
