“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.
“For example, a large, population-based study that drew data from more than 170,000 men and women between the ages of 30 and 75 years showed that animal protein intake was associated with increased death rates only when the participants had at least one unhealthy lifestyle risk factor such as smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, or being overweight or obese.”
“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).”
“Another study in which 22 year old men who engaged in four weeks of high-intensity interval training three days a week and supplemented with 150 milligrams of resveratrol per day, the lowest dose of the studies mentioned so far, did not promote increases in the men's aerobic or anaerobic capacity, exercise substrate utilization, or muscle fiber-specific adaptations compared to exercise alone.”
“After taking into account other factors, including age, race/ethnicity, poverty/income, tobacco and alcohol consumption, and physical activity, the authors also found that participants with overweight and obesity were nearly four times more likely to have low serum testosterone compared to lean males, independent of SSB consumption.”
“Robust evidence from epidemiological, clinical, rodent, and in vitro studies has demonstrated that sulforaphane exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial against a wide range of chronic and acute diseases, including autism, cancer, metabolic dysfunction, and many others and may ameliorate some of the harmful effects associated with exposure to air pollution.”
“With such an important set of responsibilities, it is unsurprising that a decline in T cell-mediated immunity contributes to debilitating age-related illnesses: Reduced infectious immunity – Immunosenescence, a cellular process integral to thymic involution, is associated with reduced immunity to influenza and other respiratory infections and less effective response to influenza vaccination.”
“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.”
“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."”
