“Assessments of episodic memory based on a battery of cognitive tests demonstrated that the rate of cognitive decline experienced by healthy, older people who had amyloid-beta protein accumulation in their brain and who were APOE4 and BDNF Met carriers was roughly three times the rate of decline among those carrying only the BDNF Val allele (the more common form of the gene that retains valine).”

“However, two small, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled experiments in which participants received BHB supplements (as ketone salt or ketone monoester) found that various markers of NLRP3 inflammasome activation, including caspase-1 and interleukin 1-beta, increased, suggesting that the ketones may have unintended proinflammatory effects.”

“Microbial production of short-chain fatty acids, including acetate and propionate, occurs in the colon during the fermentation of indigestible fibers found in plant foods such as legumes, fruits, nuts, cereals, and whole grains.”

“Time-restricted eating exploits the body's innate 24-hour patterns – the genetically encoded molecular clocks present in every cell, from the complex (liver cells) to the simple (hair follicles) – and provides the body an essential downtime where it can focus on DNA and cellular repair and restoration rather than digestion.”

“Run the longevity report to learn more about genetic polymorphisms influencing the expression of FOXO Background FOX proteins are named for a gene found in fruit flies that causes the insects to have forked structures on their heads (providing the "F") and a particular group of specialized genes – known as a "box" (providing the "OX").”

“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.”

“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.”

“While aerobic exercise is often viewed preferentially through the lens of cardiovascular health, the diverse cascade of biological effects from exercise as a whole — and aerobic exercise, in particular — culminate to make it one of the most formidable and immediately practical real-world interventions for human aging and the brain.”

“However, findings from a rodent study indicate that even low levels of nicotine exposure during pregnancy or early in life can increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome, or SIDS, by inhibiting the neonate's ability to autoresuscitate – the capacity to recover from prolonged periods of apnea, widely considered a causal factor in SIDS.”

“Researchers evaluated the effects of these changes in a study involving 37 men and women who practiced voluntary long-term caloric restriction (approximately 30 percent of habitual intake) for 3 to 15 years, compared to sedentary and fit people eating a traditional Western diet.”
