“Mankai, also called duckweed, is rich in polyphenols, omega-3 fatty acids, dietary fiber, and many micronutrients, including iron and vitamin B12. The polyphenols in mankai exert robust antioxidant activity and support healthy blood glucose levels—critical elements in maintaining brain health.”

“This drop may be a result of nutritional immunity – a biological phenomenon wherein a host organism sequesters minerals such as zinc or iron in an effort to reduce a pathogen's virulence.”

“Multiple components present in red meat likely contribute to this risk, including saturated fat and heme iron. New research suggests that Neu5Gc, a type of sugar, provides another possible mechanism to explain the cancer-promoting effects of diets high in red meat and dairy products.”

“This massive surface area is arranged like shag carpet, with structures called “villi” that protrude from the intestine wall. The longer the villi, the greater the surface area and number of intestinal epithelial cells available to absorb nutrients, such as fat or iron.”

“Vegan children were shorter and had lower total cholesterol, including good HDL and bad LDL cholesterol, and less inflammation, but were also more likely to have low iron and vitamin B12 levels without sufficient supplementation.”

“It is present in fine inhalable particles, with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrograms (PM2.5) or less. Ultrafine particles less than 1 microgram in diameter, referred to as nanoparticles, are often enriched in highly reactive metals such as iron, aluminum, titanium, and others.”

“Based on findings from more recent studies using stable isotopes, which more accurately assess muscle protein anabolism and catabolism, Dr. Phillips believes that eating 1.2 to 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of bodyweight (about 0.5 to 0.7 grams per pound) is likely optimal for muscle protein synthesis, especially as one ages.”

“- Dr. Mark Mattson https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/mark-mattson/'] Whether we induce energetic crises through fasting, exercising, or tapping into a subset of the body's metabolic program through a specialized diet, some of the more compelling entities that define the ensuing metabolic switch are ketone bodies.”

“Along with other metals such as copper, iron, and magnesium, zinc is essential for balancing oxidative and reductive reactions in the cellular environment. One enzyme, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, neutralizes hydrogen peroxide radicals by accepting an electron at its copper site.”

“Several vitamins, including vitamins A, B6, B12, C, D, E, and folate; and trace elements, including zinc, iron, selenium, magnesium, and copper, play important and complementary roles in supporting both the innate and adaptive immune systems.”
