“Omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats that are essential for human health. Evidence suggests that maternal consumption of fish and seafood rich in omega-3 fatty acids improves children's performance on intelligence tests.”

“Researchers collected nutrition-related blood biomarkers, brain images, and memory and intelligence scores of 111 older adults. Then, using a data-fusion approach, they investigated how these factors work together to promote brain and cognitive health in aging.”

“A 12-month randomized controlled trial found that vitamin D supplementation improved cognitive function, intelligence quotient scores, telomere length, and lowered oxidative stress markers in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (compared to placebo), suggesting that not only does vitamin D supplementation improve biomarkers of aging, but also functional outcomes.”

“Lactate did not clearly differ between groups. The three brain metabolism measures were not clearly related to ADHD or autism diagnoses, parent-rated cognitive skills involving planning and self-control, or intelligence.”

Dr. Eric M. Verdin discusses the roles of the ketogenic diet, beta-hydroxybutyrate, HDAC inhibitors, NAD+, and more in the context of aging.

“In this first episode of the Aliquot podcast, Rhonda discusses topics such as her pre-pregnancy diet, exercise, and sleep; which supplements she included and avoided during pregnancy; the benefits of omega-3s and risk from mercury-containing fish; and nutrition for infants and toddlers that may positively influence brain development.”

“Diamandis and Robbins are a dynamic duo, having paired up with co-author Dr. Robert Hariri to write Life Force, a best-selling book that describes breakthroughs in precision medicine and health technologies that can help people live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives – in the very near future.”

“For example, growing up in an overly hygienic environment increases a child's risk for developing autoimmune diseases, but exposure to dirt, especially from soil, pets, and roaches, in the first year of life may provide protection against asthma and allergy-related skin disease.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“Because red blood cells turn over slowly, the test provides a longer-term view of marine omega-3 status than a recent meal and gives people a measurable way to evaluate diet or supplementation.”
