“Among participants who developed mild cognitive impairment, those assigned to a daily multivitamin showed less decline in global cognition and executive function. The finding adds to evidence that adequate micronutrient intake may support cognitive resilience with age.”

“The effect on global cognition was statistically comparable with about two years less cognitive aging, supporting a role for adequate micronutrient intake alongside exercise, sleep, and cardiovascular health.”

“02:20:00 - Omega-3 fatty acids are signaling molecules that bind to DNA regions in mitochondrial genes and activate them. 02:27:29 - The Linus Pauling Institute is a good, objective source of supplemental micronutrient reviews. Site.”

“Obesity is associated with a plethora of problems, but it is also associated with severe micronutrient deficiencies, including vitamin D. A paper I published in 2014 explains a mechanism by which vitamin D affects serotonin and makes a case for how this might be able to affect autism since normal fetal brain development requires serotonin.”

“The mixed nuts included almonds, hazelnuts, and walnuts which are high in many micronutrients including magnesium, zinc, vitamin E, omega-3 (ALA) and more. The study also found that supplementing with nuts resulted in men having less fragmentation of sperm DNA, which is linked to infertility.”

“The National Growth and Health Study has also found that diets high in added sugars result in the displacement of micronutrients including low intakes of vitamins A, D, and E, calcium, and potassium.”

“The excerpt also reviews controlled muscle studies: omega-3 attenuated loss during immobilization and increased the amino-acid-stimulated muscle-protein-synthesis response under tested conditions. These findings do not generalize to every dose or population.”

“For decades, deficiencies in micronutrients such as magnesium and vitamin D have been linked to conditions such as depression and obesity, as well as their associated hallmarks of systemic inflammation.”

“Although the results are intriguing, the study was small and did not directly measure muscle carnitine. Larger, more comprehensive studies are needed to confirm these findings. Learn more about how inadequate micronutrient levels impact health in this clip featuring Dr. Bruce Ames.”

“The study did not find any lower risk of cancer recurrence for those who ate peanuts which are a legume and not a tree nut. Nuts are great sources of many micronutrients and both fermentable fiber (which feeds the gut microbiome) and non-fermentable fiber.”
