[toc position='left'] Carotenoids are orange/yellow pigments in various foods, such as carrots, pumpkins, avocados, and salmon. While carotenoids are a highly diverse group of organic pigments, with over 1,100 known carotenoids [ref doi='10.1093/database/bax004'], this overview will focus on lutein and zeaxanthin, which are of particular interest due to their notable roles in eye and brain health. Carotenoids are one of the most common classes of bioactive compounds found in plants, along with alkaloids (e.g., berberine), organosulfur compounds (e.g., sulforaphane), and polyphenols (e.g., anth... carotenoids cholesterol eyes antioxidant

Olive oil, the principal fat consumed in the Mediterranean diet, is widely consumed for its flavor, versatility, and health-promoting attributes. A recent study demonstrates that the monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) in olive oil may extend lifespan by switching on the activity of key cellular proteins called sirtuins. Monounsaturated fats are dietary fats found in plant foods, such as nuts, avocados, and vegetable oils, especially olive oil, which contains approximately 75 percent of the MUFA known as oleic acid. The body stores MUFAs in lipid droplets – intracellular fat storage depots that facil... aging insulin monounsaturated fat protein

Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are formed in the liver and transport lipid molecules to cells. Often referred to as the “bad cholesterol,” LDL can drive cardiovascular disease if it becomes oxidized within the walls of arteries. LDL particles exist in different sizes, ranging from large, "fluffy" molecules to small, dense molecules. Scientific evidence suggests that small, dense LDL particles are more susceptible to oxidative modification (http://www.jlr.org/content/50/Supplement/S376.short). Findings from a new study suggest that diets that include avocados may help reduce LDL oxidation. Th... diet heart disease fatty liver monounsaturated fat polyphenol

High levels of monounsaturated fatty acids are known to increase metabolism in regions within the dorsal attention network. Functional connectivity within both the frontoparietal cortex and the dorsal attention network underlie general intelligence.
