“Mood is another major benefit. A large network meta-analysis found that walking or jogging, strength training, yoga, and other exercise modes reduced depressive symptoms, with intensity and support influencing adherence.”

“For example, while omega-3 fatty acids, folic acid, and CoQ10 reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease, selenium and vitamins C, D, and E had no effect on the risk for either cardiovascular disease or type 2 diabetes (which often coincides with cardiovascular disease).”

“Advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) form in foods when their sugars, amino acids, and fats encounter heat. The molecules rearrange, forming brown polymers (a process known as the Maillard reaction) and creating the deep flavors of browned barley in beer, roasted coffee, seared meats, and French fries.”

“A meta-analysis of 53 randomized trials found that intervals lasting at least two minutes, with at least 15 minutes of high-intensity work and programs lasting four to twelve weeks, produced the largest gains and outperformed moderate-intensity continuous training.”

“Aerobic exercise (3 days per week, 45 min per session) improved cognitive function in older adults at risk for Alzheimer's disease according to a meta-analysis of 19 randomized controlled trials. These data suggest that aerobic exercise training may be an effective modality of exercise to maximize cognitive health for older adults.”

“The review and meta-analysis compared clinical outcomes in adult hospitalized patients administered PN enriched with omega-3 fatty acids versus non-enriched formulations. Parameters evaluated by the authors included routine lab values, markers of inflammation, rates of infection and sepsis, and the length of ICU and hospital stays.”

“Exercise is more effective than medicine in reducing visceral fat according to a meta-analysis of 17 randomized controlled trials. Visceral fat is also known as abdominal fat and is involved in systemic inflammation through the production of adipokines. Visceral fat is linked to type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, heart disease and more.”

“Depressive symptoms were reduced by dietary interventions that result in improved quality of nutrient intake, weight loss, or fat reduction regardless of the specific type of diet. This was a meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials and suggests that any dietary intervention that improves diet quality and reduces weight may improve symptoms of depression.”

“A meta-analysis – a type of statistical analysis combining the results of multiple scientific studies – found that resistance training and creatine supplementation can improve lower and upper body strength, increase fat-free mass, increase muscular endurance, and increase bone mineral density.”
