Eating whole foods influences metabolism to a sign

Eating whole foods influences metabolism to a significant degree, underscoring the common pitfall of the “calories in calories out” approach in an effort to lose weight.

Key points:
* Eating whole foods rich in bioactive nutrients such as polyphenols fosters the partial excretion of calories through the feces, hence reducing true caloric density when measured.
* Whole foods rich in polyphenols and fiber reduce appetite, while gut metabolites regulate hypothalamic activity. The hypothalamus is commonly referred to as the “satiety center”.
* Those with a diet rich in whole foods typically have higher body temperature and metabolic rate, with better functioning mitochondria.
* Mitochondrial number and function (via alterations in gene regulation) is influenced by metabolites of bioactive nutrients such as polyphenols, fiber, bioactive fats, and fermented products, which pass undigested through the small intestine into the large intestine and are broken down by bacteria to form such metabolites. This has a major effect on body composition, evidenced by that of people who practice the Mediterranean or Okinawan diets which are rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fermented foods.
* General improvement of mitochondrial health may be achieved with more exercise and sleep, a diet rich in whole foods, and being less stressed.
* Note however, if someone is in gut dysbiosis then obtaining healthy bioactive ingredients from whole foods won’t have much of a beneficial effect, since they don’t have the robust and healthy gut microbiome necessary to properly process them. Therefore, correcting gut health should be considered one of the first steps toward optimizing body composition regarding metabolic manipulation.

Acupuncture Thought to originate in China as far

Acupuncture

Thought to originate in China as far back as 2500 BC.

Qi (pronounced chee) consists of both matter and the energy force required to move matter.
It “permeates everything, occurs everywhere, and the medium by which all events are linked are linked to each other in an interweaving pattern”.
Qi literally means “vapor”, ”air”, or “breath”, and is often translated as “vital energy” or “vital force”.
Qi is energy in the very broadest sense possible.

There are over 20,000 research papers that have been published showing the efficacy of acupuncture.

What are acupuncture points?
Unique areas on the skin that exhibit specific electrical properties such as high conductance and low impedance.
They’re abundant in various types of tissues including blood vessels, nerve fibers, lymphatic vessels, and mast cells.
Stimulating these acupuncture points triggers physiological cascades in the body, releasing endorphins and neurotransmitters such as serotonin, catecholamines, acetylcholine, glutamate, and oxytocin which affect pain perception, cognition, and more.
Affects the autonomic nervous system, endocrine system, promotes neuroplasticity via increased cerebral blood flow, BDNF production, neurotransmitters, and structural brain changes.

Proven benefits:
Reduces pain, inflammation, stress, anxiety, and depression, while improving circulation, fertility, reproductive health and more.

There’s a substantial body of evidence to show its effectiveness for 47 conditions including:
* Headaches & migraines
* Insomnia
* Allergies
* Digestive issues
* Cancer-related symptoms
& more

Happy belated birthday Janine Delaney!!! Cysts C

Happy belated birthday Janine Delaney!!!

Cysts

Cysts are sacs filled with fluid/pus (most common), air, or other substances.
They can occur due to trauma, infection, or other issues.

Treatment:
Most self-resolve, however if they’re large/painful, interfere with daily functioning, and don’t self resolve over the course of weeks to months, then you can see a doctor for resolution.

Don’t try to pop or slam the cyst with a book!

At-home remedies:
Note, the only at-home remedy that has even some slight scientific backing, is placing a warm compress over the cyst to thin the synovial fluid and help it drain back into the lymphatic system.

Other potentially helpful topical self-treatment options that have antimicrobial and/or astringent properties include:
* Aloe Vera
* Apple cider vinegar (mix with equal parts of water)
* Tea tree oil
* Castor oil
* Witch hazel
* Honey
* Turmeric

Note: Research exactly how to make the paste for all aforementioned topical treatments before utilizing any of them, and make sure you aren’t allergic prior to use.

This isn’t medical advice, go see your doctor if you have a cyst that is discolored, painful, or interfering with daily activities of living.

Happy birthday Mathias Rivers🤝 9/2/24 Ashwagan

Happy birthday Mathias Rivers🤝

Ashwagandha for Exercise

Current evidence suggests:
Increases VO2 max
Probably increases muscle strength
Might increase muscle size
No effect on power output

VO2 max: the maximum amount of oxygen you can utilize.

Difference between power output and strength:
Strength: ability to overcome resistance.
Power output: ability to overcome resistance in the shortest period of time. Takes into account explosiveness.

Study:
8 week RCT involving 73 healthy-active adults given 300 mg ashwagandha 2x per day.

Results:
Significant increase in VO2 max (marker of aerobic fitness).
Small increase in muscle size.

Likely mechanisms by which ashwagandha increases VO2 max:
Hormones (testosterone)
Hemoglobin increase
Stress resistance (lowers cortisol)

Previous research this year showed:
Improves:
Cortisol levels & sleep: not dose dependent
Stress/lowers alpha amylase levels, anxiety, depression: dose dependent

Microplastics Increase risk for heart attack, str

Microplastics
Increase risk for heart attack, stroke, death, pulmonary, hormonal, reproductive issues.

Minimizing exposure:

* Cook (stainless steel pan is best) & avoid pre-packaged/processed food
* Don’t heat or store food in plastic
* Drink out of real mugs, ceramic, or glass instead of plastic water bottles (plastic bottled water has the most microplastic, but there are also small amounts in tap water)
* Use wooden cutting boards
* Keep your environment clean to avoid breathing in microplastics
* Opt for natural fibers for clothing, curtains, carpets, etc

Removing microplastics from the body:
Very difficult to do, but here’s what can help:
* exercise, since it may help you to sweat them out
* Eat more fiber
* Eat organic & follow the preventative rules listed above

Non-cognitive skills, such as grit and perseveranc

Non-cognitive skills, such as grit and perseverance, strongly predict academic success.

We should integrate emotional and behavioral development into education.

Skill and performance are inextricably intertwined….

Cumulated research over the past 30 years has shown that deliberate practice accounts for ~50% of performance while talent accounts for 7% regarding working memory (a form of short term memory where you keep things/tasks at the forefront of your mind)

One study by Ittekinge et al in 2018 showed that ability, motivation, & ability-motivation interaction account for 60%, 31%, & 9% of the variance in job performance, respectively.

Hence, showing the interaction between ability and motivation to be unimportant.

This is a fundamentally wrong conclusion however, since both ability and effort are necessarily interactive to achieve optimal performance.

The best performance does not occur without the joint effect of ability and effort.

Fox et al’s experiment in 1996 showed that practice had a significant effect on performance, where the genetically least gifted individuals outperformed the genetically most gifted individuals by the end of the trial.

However, both genetics and environment are well intertwined regarding the achievement of success, and so catering to natural affinities is also important.
