Move Harder, Recover Faster: The Potential of Mangiferin-Quercetin Ep. 1171 JAN 24
A single dose of mangiferin-quercetin, taken one hour before exercise, significantly improved participants' performance in a demanding physical test. They completed circuits faster and reported feeling less exertion compared to those given a placebo. This suggests the supplement could enhance overall exercise performance by boosting endurance and reducing fatigue. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings in different exercise types and populations.

"Our finding of continuous cognitive growth in older adulthood is unique because most studies show only maintenance of cognitive abilities or cognitive decline over time."

Inhaled ethanol may treat respiratory infections and stop pandemics Show 1136 MAY 2023
The scientists think that the ethanol vapor must increase ethanol concentrations in the fluid to 20% to successfully treat the infection. This concentration is not toxic to lung cells the scientists created in the lab to mimic human cells. At body temperature, 20% ethanol can not only inactivate the influenza A virus outside of the cells in one minute, but also stop the virus from replicating inside these cells.

Breathing Easier with COPD: Daily Beetroot Juice Improves Outcomes Ep. 1170 JAN 2024
A 12-week study found that daily beetroot juice supplementation significantly lowered blood pressure and improved exercise capacity in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This suggests that beetroot, rich in dietary nitrates, could be a safe and well-tolerated alternative or complement to conventional antihypertensive medications for COPD patients. While further research is needed to confirm long-term benefits and potential interactions with other medications, the study offers encouraging evidence for the potential of beetroot juice as a natural approach to managing COPD symptoms.

Brain Energy and Function, Improved with Glycine/NAC? Episode 1137 MAY 2023
The results of this study provide proof-of-concept that GlyNAC supplementation improves age-associated cognitive decline and supports brain health in aging by improving/correcting brain GSH deficiency, elevated OxS, mitochondrial dysfunction, abnormal mitophagy and autophagy, inflammation, impaired glucose transport/uptake, elevated genomic damage, and reversing the decline in brain neurotrophic growth factors. GlyNAC could be a simple and effective nutritional supplement to support brain health and cognitive function in aging, and warrants additional investigation.

Kiwi Fruit Improved Sleep and Recovery Episode 1138 MAY 2023
The manipulation of the timing and dose of kiwifruit may have applications in terms of sleep and recovery (e.g., antioxidant consumption in relation to training) in athletes that warrant further investigation. The results presented suggest a potential role for kiwifruit consumption in sleep promotion and recovery protocols for elite athletes. Consuming 2 kiwifruit 1 h before bed is a practical wholefood-based intervention that can easily be implemented in real-world settings. Kiwifruit is available in wholefood form, but it is also consumed in various processed forms, e.g., drinks, sweets, lyophilised products (i.e., freeze dried), dehydrated products and juices [64]. Further research is warranted to develop protocols and/or products designed specifically to promote sleep and/or recovery in elite athletes.

NAFLD Breakthrough: Greens may Reverse Liver Damage Ep. 1169 DEC 2023
A new study suggests that simply swapping one serving of starchy carbohydrates for vegetables daily can significantly improve fatty liver disease (NAFLD), even in advanced stages. Researchers found that after just three months, this minor dietary change led to reductions in liver fibrosis, inflammation, and other NAFLD markers. The key seems to be the type of vegetables chosen: the study focused on four cruciferous varieties (mizuna, chicory, kale, and Chinese mustard) rich in glucobrassicin-derived compounds with antioxidant and anti-fatty liver properties. This easy-to-implement dietary tweak could offer a promising first step for managing and potentially reversing NAFLD.

Taurine and a Longer, Healthier Life Ep.1142 JUN 2023
The researchers found that taurine suppressed age-associated weight gain in female mice (even in “menopausal” mice), increased energy expenditure, increased bone mass, improved muscle endurance and strength, reduced depression-like and anxious behaviors, reduced insulin resistance, and promoted a younger-looking immune system, among other benefits.
“Not only did we find that the animals lived longer, we also found that they’re living healthier lives,” Yadav says.

DIM: From Cancer Fighter to Cavity Conqueror? New Research Holds Promise Ep. 1144 JUL 2023
Most of the world's population either chronically suffers from plaque and dental cavities or will develop them at some point in their lives. Toothpastes, mouthwashes, and regular checkups do their part, but more could always be done. Ben-Gurion University of the Negev scientists and their colleagues at Sichuan University and the National University of Singapore have discovered that 3,3′-Diindolylmethane (DIM), a naturally occurring molecule also known as bisindole, reduces the biofilms that produce plaque and cavities by 90%. The molecule is also found to have anti-carcinogenic properties.

Purple Corn: A Delicious Solution to Dry Eye Discomfort 1168 DEC2023
This report investigates purple corn extract (PCE) as a potential natural remedy for dry eye disease (DED). Studies show PCE possesses antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, suggesting its ability to protect against DED's damaging effects. Oral PCE administration in animal models significantly improved tear production, corneal health, and goblet cell density, demonstrating its effectiveness in treating DED symptoms. These findings suggest PCE can be a safe and effective functional food for promoting eye health, particularly in DED cases, offering a promising alternative to conventional treatments.

Synbiotic drink results in important Fat Loss EP. 1167 DEC 2023
This study investigated the effects of consuming a combination of Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis GCL2505 and inulin on abdominal fat reduction. The results showed that participants who consumed the combined beverage had significant reductions in visceral fat area and total fat area compared to the placebo group. Additionally, the intervention increased the total number of bifidobacteria in the gut and affected several lipid markers. The authors suggest that the combined intake of GCL2505 and inulin improves the intestinal environment and reduces abdominal fat through a mechanism involving short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). Further research is needed to investigate the full mechanisms involved in this effect. Overall, the study suggests that the combined intake of GCL2505 and inulin may be a simple and effective way to reduce abdominal fat and potentially prevent metabolic abnormalities.

Researchers measured participants’ skin conditions and markers of inflammation and oxidative stress at the start of the study and at the end of each six-week period. They found that drinking muscadine wine significantly improved skin elasticity (a loss of elasticity is what causes skin to sag more as we age). In addition, the wine was associated with a decrease in water loss at the skin surface, a measurement that indicates the skin is providing a more effective barrier against damage.

Fibroids Effectively Treated with Green Tea (EGCG)? Ep. 1166 DEC 2023
A new study by Johns Hopkins Medicine suggests that epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound found in green tea, could be a promising treatment for uterine fibroids. The study found that EGCG reduced the protein levels of fibronectin, a protein involved in fibroid growth, by up to 52%. Additionally, EGCG disrupted pathways involved in fibroid tumor cell growth, movement, signaling and metabolism. These results suggest that EGCG may be an effective way to treat and prevent uterine fibroids.

Recent Anti-Aging Discoveries of Ginseng 1152 AUG 2023
The active ingredients of ginseng mainly contribute to aging delay through the following mechanisms: (1) the increase in the expression of antioxidant enzymes to achieve a balance between intracellular oxidation and antioxidation, the mitigation of excessive production of ROS, and the reduction in endogenous DNA damage, which prevent cell cycle arrest and delay aging; and (2) the regulation of the activities of DNA glycosylase and sirtuins in the process of DNA damage repair to ensure that the DNA repair pathway can accurately repair DNA damage caused by various factors associated with aging.
