Long Term Cognition and Longevity via Beneficial Gut Bacteria

This cartoon video explains the gut microbiome. Here is another informative video on the gut microbiome.   Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome. Increases in the abundance and activity of Bilophila wadsworthia on the animal-based diet support a link between dietary fat, bile acids and the outgrowth of microorganisms capable of triggering inflammatory bowel… Continue reading Long Term Cognition and Longevity via Beneficial Gut Bacteria

Long-term Cognition, Longevity, Mental Health, and Immunity via a strong, robust Circadian Oscillation

Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. These natural processes respond primarily to light and dark and affect most living things, including animals, plants, and microbes.   The internal body clock sets the timing for many circadian rhythms, which regulate processes such as Sleep/wake cycles Hormonal activity Body temperature… Continue reading Long-term Cognition, Longevity, Mental Health, and Immunity via a strong, robust Circadian Oscillation
