Health Update: Time Restricted Eating Lowers Fat Gain
Hello everyone : Here is some news about the metabolic mechanisms related to time restricted eating, also called intermittent fasting, can lead to better fat metabolism. “Misalignment of feeding rhythms with the light-dark cycle leads to disrupted peripheral circadian clocks and obesity… Circadian control of adipocyte creatine metabolism underlies the timing of diet-induced thermogenesis, and enhancement of adipocyte circadian rhythms through overexpression of the clock activator brain and muscle Arnt-like protein-1 (BMAL1) ameliorated metabolic complications during diet-induced obesity. These findings uncover rhythmic creatine-mediated thermogenesis as an essential mechanism that drives metabolic benefits during time-restricted feeding.” “Such thermogenesis (fat burning) depended on the circadian clock of adipocytes and ...

Health News Update: Deficiencies Accelerate Aging
Hello again friends: The following information is from a series of papers that are more relevant than ever. It is by a renowned researcher and reveals how nutrient insufficiencies and deficiencies lead to illness, suffering, aging and an early death. This type of information is why I always take a multivitamin and an multimineral. The following quotes summarize the following three links, all by the same primary author, Bruce Ames, PhD: “An optimum intake of micronutrients and metabolites, which varies with age and genetic constitution, would tune up metabolism and give a marked increase in health, particularly for the poor, young, obese, and elderly, at little cost. (1) DNA damage: Deficiency of vitamins B-12, folic acid, B-6, C or E, or iron or zinc appears to mimic radiation in damaging DNA by causing single- and double-strand breaks, oxidative lesions or both. Half of the ... Read more
Vit. D Proven to Lower Mortality Significantly
Hello again to all: A new review of Vit. D has finally put a lot of controversy to rest. The controversy lies in the studies that could not find any benefit to Vit. D supplementation. To find out if this is accurate, the new study applied an appropriate analysis that had not previously be done and found the following:
- A previous meta-analysis of randomized trials found that vitamin D supplementation made no difference in the risk for all-cause or cardiovascular mortality, but there was an association between vitamin D supplements and a lower risk for cancer-related mortality.
- In the current study, using a unique analysis based on genetic polymorphisms, vitamin D deficiency appears to be causal in promoting overall mortality, as well as cardiovascular, cancer, and respiratory mortality.
- Implications for the healthcare team: ... Read more
