“Poor physical fitness as measured by VO2 max linked to deterioration of vital nerve fibers in the brain and memory decline. The study found that lower fitness levels were associated with weaker white matter, which in turn correlated with lower brain function.”

“Does this mean eat as much protein as possible? No. One needs to make room in their diet for healthy fats and fiber- and antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, after all. One thing not covered in my talk with Peter was the debate about animal versus plant protein.”

“Randomized controlled trial finds that type 2 diabetics given a diet high in fiber improved the secretion of hormones involved in insulin production (GLP-1) and lowered blood glucose levels (HbA1c) via changes in the gut microbiome.”

“PGC-1 alpha participates in glucose and fatty acid metabolism, muscle fiber remodeling, mitochondrial biogenesis (the production of new mitochondria), and thermoregulatory function.”

“BHB is produced from butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by the gut microbiota via the fermentation of dietary fiber. Along with the ketones acetone and acetoacetate, BHB serves as a source of cellular energy.”

“For example, fibroblasts are specialized wound-healing cells that migrate to the site of an injury (e.g., a paper cut), rapidly reproduce, and secrete a matrix of fibers that physically seal the wound.”

“A high proportion of Prevotella bacteria in relation to Bacteroides bacteria was associated with more weight loss on a diet high in fruit, vegetables, fiber and whole grains. People with a high proportion of Bacteroides in relation to Prevotella bacteria did not seem to have a weight loss benefit when changing to this type of diet.”

“However, a sham beverages containing fiber, minerals, or vitamins and minerals had no significant effect on flow-mediated dilation. Twice daily wild blueberry consumption for one month also increased long-term flow-mediated dilation.”

“In contrast, plant-based proteins often have lower protein density, reduced digestibility due to fiber, and incomplete amino acid profiles, making it harder to stimulate a robust anabolic response. That said, plant-based eaters can optimize their protein intake by: 1.”

“They found that the treatments reduced wrinkles by up to 36 percent and increased skin elasticity by up to 19 percent compared to baseline. They also observed increased collagen, elastic fibers, and activated fibroblasts in the treated areas.”
