“Just one month after their heart attack, participants assigned to 16:8 time-restricted eating experienced a 6.6% increase in a measure of their heart’s pumping efficiency known as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) compared to a mere 1.5% increase in the regular diet group.”
Toll-like receptors are a family of pattern recognition receptors expressed on the surface of immune and other cells that play an important role in intestinal permeability and inflammaging.
“UPFs cause metabolic and cognitive changes in less than a week "...just 5 days of a high-calorie diet made the brains of these healthy, normal weight men structurally and functionally similar to people with obesity, and even after cutting the high-calorie foods out of their diet, these changes persisted for at least one week."”
“In a trial of middle-aged, low-fitness adults, urolithin A supplementation led to a 10–12% increase in lower-body muscle strength, a 10–15% increase in VO2 peak, and better performance on a 6-minute walk test, even when participants didn't engage in structured exercise training over the 4-month study.”
Intravenous Vitamin C for the treatment of sepsis Sepsis, a life-threatening condition that can arise due to the body's response to a bacterial or viral infection, can cause severe injury to multiple tissues or organs.(Source: CDC) (https://www.cdc.gov/sepsis/index.html) People diagnosed with sepsis typically have low vitamin C levels, which might be predictive of increased risk for organ failure.
“For example, exposure to ultraviolet B light is the primary source of vitamin D, but behaviors or characteristics that block or reduce sun exposure, such as using sunscreen, having high levels of melanin (a dark pigment found in skin that acts like natural sunscreen), exclusive breastfeeding, older age, or being obese can impair the skin's ability to produce vitamin D3.”
“The active whole body hyperthermia group underwent mild-intensity hyperthermia using a Heckel device, with infrared lights heating the chest and coils warming the lower extremities until their core temperature reached 38.5°C—a process taking an average of 107 minutes (range 81–140 minutes)—followed by a 60-minute cool-down phase.”
