“Multiple age-related inputs can keep innate immune pathways active, including the senescence-associated secretory phenotype, mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress, debris released by injured cells, visceral adipose tissue inflammation, chronic infections, increased intestinal permeability, and dysbiosis.”
“If you focus on eating multiple protein-containing meals each day and are thoughtful about your sources, it's likely you'll meet daily protein needs and thrive, whether your goal is gaining more muscle or just staying strong into your later years.”
“Increased intestinal permeability (also known as "leaky gut") – a condition in which gaps form between the tight junctions that join enterocytes – allows pathogens to leak through the intestinal barrier and pass directly into the bloodstream, promoting inflammation through a specialized mechanism involving detection by toll-like receptors.”
“Conclusions Lactobacillus reuteri has demonstrated a plethora of unique biological effects across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical research that seemingly converge on a few fundamental mechanisms, including strengthening the gut barrier and immune system, improving metabolism, and protecting infants from digestive diseases, among others.”
“Brighter days can support cognition and function in older adults Whole-day lighting of approximately 1,000 lux produced model-based relative reductions of 5% in cognitive decline, 19% in depressive symptoms, and 53% in the increase in functional limitations, compared with customary lighting near 300 lux, in a cluster-randomized trial across 12 elder-care facilities.”
Liquid biopsies, a non-invasive cancer screening technology that includes GRAIL's Galleri test, could transform early detection and treatment by analyzing tumor-derived cells and components.
“Insulin resistance in the brain is implicated in Alzheimer’s disease and is one reason why some researchers refer to the condition as “Type 3 diabetes.” Melatonin has been shown to enhance beta-cell function (the beta-cells are insulin-producing cells in the pancreas) and reduce the burden of beta-amyloid plaques and tau hyperphosphorylation in the brain of diabetic rats.”
“In a recent double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving 27 healthy older adults (average age, 62 years) with at least one risk factor for diabetes, each of the study participants engaged in three 45-minute aerobic exercise training sessions per week for 12 weeks using a treadmill, stationary cycle, or elliptical machine.”
“Unlike chemicals that are rapidly eliminated in urine, some long-chain PFAS undergo biliary excretion and intestinal reabsorption, contributing to biological half-lives measured in years and the nickname “forever chemicals.” PFAS exposure may increase the risk of cancer, liver damage, and immune system impairment.”
“In an attempt to control for the healthy user bias (the possibility that people who take multivitamins may have better lifestyle habits than nonusers), the statistical analyses were adjusted for confounding factors like age, sex, education, alcohol and tobacco use, BMI, physical activity, diet quality, family history of cancer, and the use of other supplements.”
