“While sugar-sweetened drinks are a leading source of excess dietary sugar, artificially sweetened alternatives—often seen as healthier—are now under scrutiny for their potential harms, with many studies suggesting that both contribute to long-term metabolic disease.”

“Low carbohydrate and ketogenic diets are popular with adults looking to lose weight, but they also have therapeutic power for a growing list of diseases such as epilepsy, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, and some cancers.”

“The participants who took the urolithin A also showed improvements in aerobic endurance, physical performance, and mitochondrial function and had higher levels of proteins involved in mitophagy and mitochondrial metabolism in their muscle tissue.”

“The investigators focused on eight commonly reported metabolite measures: total choline-containing compounds, N-acetylaspartate (NAA), total creatine, myo-inositol, glutamate, glutamate plus glutamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and lactate.”

“The inactive mice that received the cytotoxic T cells from exercised mice showed marked improvements in their disease status. The exercising mice had high blood levels of lactate, which altered the T cells' metabolism and increased the cells' activity.”

“Several studies show that HIIT improves glucose metabolism, increases mitochondrial biogenesis (the growth of new mitochondria), mitochondrial function, β-oxidation (the use of fatty acids for energy), and also the levels of glucose transporters in muscle cells all of which improve insulin sensitivity.”

“When they ate milk chocolate in the evening, they consumed about 150 fewer calories during the rest of the day; their physical activity, heat dissipation after meals, and carbohydrate metabolism increased; and their sleep quality improved.”

“Half of the girls engaged in three sprint-training sessions for two weeks, while the other half continued their regular physical activities. The investigators measured the girls' metabolic biomarkers, BDNF concentrations, and working memory before and after the intervention.”

“one of the best dietary modifications you can do is increase your intake of vegetables not only because of the beneficial vitamins/minerals/compounds that are necessary to run metabolism & other enzymes that ward off cancer…”

“A new study looked at associations of physical activity and time spent sitting on brain thickness and found sedentary behavior, but not physical activity, was associated with less thickness in brain regions that are essential to memory function.”
