“To raise an individual's Omega-3 Index from 4 percent to the recommended range of 8 percent or greater, intake should be between 1,750 and 2,500 milligrams (1.75 and 2.5 grams) per day._ It is noteworthy that gender and age influence Omega-3 Index scores in humans.”
Photobiomodulation is a non-invasive, light-based therapeutic technique that stimulates biological processes within cells and tissues, with potential applications in medicine, dentistry, cosmetic procedures, and scientific research.
“Authors of a 2021 study recruited 50 participants (between ages 18 and 75 years) who were not consuming dietary supplements or large quantities of olive oil (greater than one tablespoon per day).”
“Our brains shrink as we grow older, but that doesn't mean you can wait until old age to worry about it—neurodegeneration starts 15–20 years before the onset of symptoms of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, or Alzheimer's disease.”
“A meta-analysis led by Dr. Stuart Phillips found that individuals consuming 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight daily while engaging in resistance training increased their muscle mass by 27% and their strength by 10%, compared to those who trained without extra protein.”
“A series of meta-analyses involving 925 participants across 15 randomized placebo-controlled clinical trials explored the anti-inflammatory effect of quercetin supplementation in both healthy adults and people who had been diagnosed with a disease, including type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, coronary artery disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and obesity.”
“Interestingly, a recent randomized controlled trial showed that pregnant women who supplemented with 600 milligrams of DHA during their third trimester had sons with larger total brain volumes, total gray matter, corpus callosum, and cortical volumes when compared to boys born to mothers who took a placebo.”
“Taking it a step further, they investigated how sodium and potassium impact blood pressure in men and women differently—a critical question since cardiovascular diseases disproportionately affect men compared to women due to differences in nitric oxide bioavailability, inflammation, electrolyte balance, and sympathetic nervous system activity.”
“In addition, a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind trial involving people diagnosed with mild-to-moderate dementia due to Alzheimer's disease found that participants who took a resveratrol supplement twice a day (up to 1 gram) for one year exhibited reduced levels of MMP9, a neurological inflammatory marker associated with increased neurodegeneration and inflammation.”
Small vessel disease is a generic term that describes dysfunction of blood vessels that occurs with aging and contributes to cognitive decline, cardiovascular disease, frailty, and stroke.
