LONG NOTES:

A scoping review of intermittent fasting, chronobiology, and metabolism. Well-controlled randomized clinical trials employing IF protocols of delayed or early eating windows have sometimes demonstrated clinical benefits, such as improved glycemic and lipid profiles, as well as weight loss. However, IF does not appear to be more effective than traditional diets at the group level, and its effects largely depend on energy restriction.

AARP: Prediabetes: You Can Turn It Around: Lose weight, eat non-starchy veggies, exercise, sleep, don’t smoke, Certain drugs can help with blood sugar levels and obesity, as well as high cholesterol and high blood pressure, get a peer group

High dietary intake of certain n-6 PUFA in childhood or adolescence may be associated with increased risk of asthma up to young adulthood, while dietary biomarkers of certain n-3 in plasma may be associated with decreased risk.

NSAIDs are nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like ibuprofen and naproxen. They can damage your kidneys if you take too many at once or take them too often; antibiotics too often can harm them; some herbal supplements;  lots of fat, salt, and sugar, smoking, too much alcohol, lack of water and exercise.

The effects of almond consumption on inflammatory biomarkers in adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. The beneficial effect of almond intake only occurred at doses <60 g/d.

The Effect of L-arginine Supplementation On Blood Pressure in Adults: A Systematic Review and Dose-response Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials. The effective dosage of L-arginine supplementation was detected to be ≥4 g/day for systolic BP (P = 0.034) independent of trial duration. Overall, L-arginine supplementation may be effective for decreasing BP.

Osteoporosis represents a major public health issue and prunes (dried plums) have been extensively studied as a dietary intervention to mitigate bone loss in preclinical models of osteoporosis. In postmenopausal women, estrogen deficiency triggers an upregulation of oxidative stress and inflammatory pathways, which promotes bone loss, increasing risk of fracture. In this review, we summarize the evidence suggesting a potential role of prunes in modulating oxidative and inflammatory pathways, which may contribute to the protective effect on bone.
