JN 3/23 Yogurt consumption inhibits obesity which is associated with inflammation [which is why I take a sip of kefir every day]
JN 3/23 Adherence to a healthy diet is inversely associated with frailty. This large prospective cohort study showed a strong and consistent inverse association between regular nut consumption and incident frailty. This suggests that nut consumption should be further tested as a convenient public health intervention for the preservation of health and well-being in older adults.
Sci 17 Mar pg 1102 – The best time to exercise for maximum benefit is mid-afternoon or mixed time, not early or late.
Sci 17 Mar pg 1102 – NAD+ is essential for metabolism, but declines with aging. Thus supplementing with niacin is very important as we age.
Doctors have identified a gene that causes macular degeneration (MD). You can have your DNA sequenced to check if this is a major risk factor for you. Everyone ought to take AREDsII to reduce the risk of MD.
JN 3/23 Pea and wheat protein are much healthier than milk protein.
JN 3/23 Serum 25(OH)D concentrations, time spent outdoors, and dietary vitamin D intake were all inversely associated with new-onset acute kidney injury, independent of genetic risks for kidney diseases.
JN 3/23 No Effect of Calorie Restriction or Dietary Patterns on Spatial Working Memory during a 2-Year Intervention: A Secondary Analysis of the CALERIE Trial. So dietary restriction does not seem worthwhile, though periodic fasting, like 12 hrs a day, has benefits.
JN 3/23 High dietary iron has been linked to an increased type 2 diabetes risk. It also causes acute pancreatitis and islet injury in Sprague-Dawley rats, suggesting a role of dietary iron in the development of steatopancreatitis.
JN 3/23 Iron deficiency and overload may negatively impact women’s health. The prevalence of iron deficiency among pre- and postmenopausal women was 16.0% and 4.0%, respectively, whereas that of elevated iron stores was 2.7% and 21.0%. [So pre-menopausal often have too little and post have too much. Best choice may be iron supplement during your period only.]
JN 3/23 A large part of the existential threat associated with climate change is the result of current human feeding patterns. Evidence suggests that plant-based diets may offer lower greenhouse gas emissions (GHGEs), land use, and biodiversity loss than offered by standard diets; however, the impact on water and energy use may depend on the types of plant-based foods consumed. Further, the studies were consistent in demonstrating that plant-based dietary patterns that reduce diet-related mortality also promote environmental sustainability.
For the first time worldwide, researchers from Tel Aviv University and the Israel Institute for Biological Research have developed an mRNA-based vaccine that is 100% effective against plague bacteria, lethal to humans. It also works against antibiotic resistant bacteria.
The Nerivio device from Israeli startup Theranica (see here previously) already has US FDA approval to treat acute migraines. It has now been approved for preventing migraines. Recent trials of 248 participants showed a huge improvement for those using Nerivio compared to those on a placebo device.
