“Also, many foods that contain fiber such as vegetables and fruits also have many important micronutrients and other plant compounds that play a role in successful aging. For more on the importance of fiber in successful aging watch my interview with the authors of The Good Gut, Drs.”

“A recent study involving older rats found that regular aerobic exercise reduces age-related inflammation in the brain and improves the balance between nerve fibers and their protective myelin coating. Researchers had older rats exercise on a treadmill for eight weeks.”

“Propionate is a short chain fatty acid that is normally produced by gut bacteria that consume a type of fiber called inulin. In this study, it reduced activity in brain regions associated with reward and decreased cravings for junk food.”

“This research was done by my colleagues and mentor, Dr. Bruce Ames, and showed that people eating terrible diets can improve their metabolism and decrease inflammation in just two months if they add micronutrients and fiber to their otherwise unhealthy diet.”

“> This factor is produced by the muscle itself and remodels the neuromuscular synapses, the neuronal junctions between the motor neurons and muscle. BDNF not only causes the strength muscles to develop, but at the same time leads to endurance muscle fiber number decline.”

“For each additional 10 grams of daily fiber intake during early adulthood breast cancer risk dropped by 13%.”

“FTA: > Boosting levels of a naturally produced by-product of dietary fiber fermentation in the bowel can help trim the waistline and stave off weight gain, reveals a small study.”

“The monkeys at UW ate a standardized diet (chow), but the monkeys at NIA ate a natural diet subject to seasonal variation. The two diets were similar in caloric content (30 percent restriction) but differed in overall nutrient and fiber content.”

“It also cannot replace protein, essential amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, or the many bioactive compounds supplied by a varied diet. The formula and the person both matter.”

“Knee osteoarthritis pain is often only treated as a problem of joint degeneration, but growing evidence suggests the gut may also play a role in how that pain is perceived. Researchers tested whether inulin, a prebiotic fiber, could reduce symptoms on its own or when paired with a digital physiotherapy program.”
