“Methylation may also act as a biological memory of long-term exposures. Smoking, inflammation, obesity, metabolic dysfunction, infection, psychological stress, air pollution, and other stressors may leave durable regulatory marks.”

“00:40:03 - How children exposed to high levels of air pollution have biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease in their brains. 00:45:06 - How certain lifestyle modifications such as sauna use and sulforaphane intake can help rid the body of some airborne pollutants.”

“None of this evidence shows that a food, supplement, or sauna eliminates systemic microplastics. Sulforaphane activates NRF2 and phase 2 enzymes. In a randomized trial, a broccoli-sprout beverage increased urinary excretion of benzene and acrolein metabolites in adults exposed to air pollution.”

“In randomized trials involving adults exposed to substantial air pollution, standardized broccoli-sprout beverages increased urinary excretion of selected benzene and acrolein metabolites.”

“In a 12-week randomized trial of 291 adults exposed to substantial air pollution, a defined broccoli-sprout beverage increased urinary excretion of glutathione-linked metabolites by 61 percent for benzene and 23 percent for acrolein.”

“Sun protection, radon testing, indoor air filtration when pollution is high, and regular sleep timing each address a different source of risk. In a randomized Australian trial, regular sunscreen use reduced invasive melanoma incidence during long-term follow-up.”

“When humans ingest these compounds, our cells "read" their chemical signals and switch on cellular mechanisms that protect us not only from the plant compound but also the environmental stressors to which we are exposed on a daily basis, such as air pollution or overexposure to UV radiation.”

Intravenous Vitamin C for the treatment of sepsis Sepsis, a life-threatening condition that can arise due to the body's response to a bacterial or viral infection, can cause severe injury to multiple tissues or organs.(Source: CDC) (https://www.cdc.gov/sepsis/index.html) People diagnosed with sepsis typically have low vitamin C levels, which might be predictive of increased risk for organ failure.

“In this Institute for Functional Medicine excerpt, Dr. Rhonda Patrick frames omega-3 intake as beneficial and argues that low contaminant exposure should be weighed against the nutritional value of EPA and DHA. Her benefit-risk view does not mean omega-3 negates mercury or PCB toxicity.”

“In urban areas with heavy traffic, this is a significant source of microplastic exposure. What’s more alarming is that air pollution, including microplastics, is increasingly being linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.”
