“Senescence is a vital cellular process involved in embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer immunity; however, the accumulation of senescent cells is associated with diseases of aging such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, sarcopenia, and glaucoma.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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."”
“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.”
“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.”
